Advanced telematics solution to improve road
safety, increase asset utilisation and reduce fuel costs
Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq:INSG) – a leading global provider of
software-as-a-service (SaaS) and solutions for the Internet of
Things (IoT) – announced that Northumbrian Water Limited (NWL), one
of the largest water utilities in the UK, has teamed up with
Ctrack, an Inseego company, to develop and implement an advanced
telematics solution that will help improve road safety, increase
asset utilization and reduce fuel costs. The web-based Ctrack
Online system will be used, in combination with driver
identification and real-time feedback tools, across a fleet of 900
vans used by the mobile workforce of Northumbrian Water and Essex
& Suffolk Water that operate in the north-and south-east of
England. The win resulted in Ctrack adding its 8th water utility in
the UK to its client base and truly making Ctrack one of the
leading telematics providers within this telematics vertical.
The Ctrack solution was selected following a competitive tender
process based on the superior functionality and ease-of-use of the
technology, along with Ctrack’s core values and partnership
approach. With Ctrack Online, NWL replaces a legacy system and will
significantly expand its tracking capabilities, increase the
availability of operational insight and business intelligence
within the organization.
The Ctrack solution will be used to support five areas of the
business – maintenance, water treatment, meter reading, commercial
services and waste water – across both the Northumbrian Water and
Essex & Suffolk Water operations. The fleet and scheduling
teams, based at NWL’s headquarters in Durham, will be using the
system daily, while a large number of business and operations
managers will have controlled access to relevant information. An
executive dashboard will also be used to provide a summary of
business-critical data to the senior management team.
With NWL operating a pool of fleet vehicles used by multiple
engineers, the company will use a driver identification system to
gain greater understanding of the status and whereabouts of its
engineering team. By separating driver and vehicle data, the
company will be able to monitor and report on six key performance
indicators – driver behavior, speeding, compliance, working times,
utilization and fuel costs. The information will also be used to
support the investigation of vehicle collisions and fleet-related
complaints from members of the public.
The dashboard-mounted Driver Behavior Indicator (DBI) will alert
engineers of any infringements when on the road and encourage
improved performance behind the wheel. Green, amber and red lights
will display a cumulative series of warnings, while a sustained
period of improved driving will allow the lights to be cleared. A
Driver App will also provide access to an individual driver score
that can be viewed alongside a company average score. A breakdown
will include harsh acceleration, braking and cornering, as well as
speeding and excess idling, with a peer comparison for each, so
engineers can understand their own areas of improvement.
Kate Wilson, Fleet Manager of Northumbrian Water Limited
commented: “Safety, and in particular protecting our drivers, is a
priority for the business, so we needed a telematics solution that
would not only focus on operational performance but also contribute
to the wellbeing of our employees. Improving driver behavior is key
to operating responsibly, and the Ctrack solution will prove to be
hugely valuable moving forward. The speed, simplicity and
accessibility of the system means it can be used to support a wide
range business and operational functions as well as target
continuous improvement.”
John Wisdom, European Managing Director of Ctrack said: “We work
closely with our customers to create highly-effective and
easy-to-use solutions in line with individual objectives, which
target the biggest opportunities and most significant areas of
improvement. Our ability to capture and convert telematics data
into useful, tailored and meaningful management information, means
we are best-placed to help deliver significant business benefits by
improving productivity, reducing costs and delivering a rapid
return on their investment.”
