Flogas Obtains Fleet Solution
Cybit has won an order from Flogas for an
advanced fleet and asset management solution that incorporates
satellite navigation. Fleetstar-Online’s GPRS-based telematics
technology will allow Flogas to track its delivery fleet in real-time
and make the most efficient use of working time within the constraints
of the Road Transport Directive. This will ensure that Flogas
enhances its customer service and provides accurate ETAs to its
clients.
Flogas will implement Cybit’s Fleetstar-Online
telematics and Smartnav satellite navigation solution across
its fleet of
105 delivery tankers. Cybit’s solution will enable Flogas
to monitor vehicles in real-time through the matching of current
GPS positions to mapping at 20 second intervals, while Smartnav
will provide drivers with advanced satellite navigation and live
traffic information, and also deliver advanced notification of
route delays and options for alternative routes.
"Cybit offered a solution which also integrated event management
for Flogas, such as the ability to monitor the length of time
it takes our delivery tankers to discharge the product," commented
Tony Humphreys, logistic director at Flogas. “This provides
us with the information we needed to establish just how long
vehicles spend actually discharging lpg, rather than the total
time a tanker spends on site.
"The visibility to fleet operations, plus real-time traffic information
and a high quality navigation system, will enhance our delivery
capabilities, while Cybit’s functionality and reporting
suite will also help with planning our Duty of Care compliance," he
continued. “The data produced by the system will allow
us to have complete visibility of the routes taken, duration
of stops and discharge times, service history and distances travelled."
John
Wisdom, group sales and marketing director at Cybit, added: “Flogas
provides an essential fuel supply to thousands of customers nationwide
who rely on lpg for everything from heating and cooking to powering
vehicles. By deploying Fleetstar-Online into its primary distribution
fleet, Flogas will significantly enhance its operational efficiency
and Duty of Care provision."
Fleetstar-Online is Cybit’s
scalable Internet-based telematics solution that features real-time
vehicle tracking, exception
reporting, replay mode, customised reports, mileage information,
SMS messaging and live traffic information. Fleet vehicles are
fitted with a small electronic in-vehicle-unit (IVU) that is
tracked by GPS in real-time and then transmits data to Cybit’s
online control centre. It provides companies with a cost-effective
ASP-based fleet management solution that offers users anytime,
anywhere access to the system via a standard web browser.
Fleetstar-Online
also features added value solution support, with fully integrated
Smartnav satellite navigation and RAC Trackstar
Plus stolen vehicle recovery system functionality. Smartnav is
an ‘off-board’ satellite navigation and route planning
system that gathers real-time traffic information from Trafficmaster's
established network of cameras and sensors around the UK.
