Swindon car recovery and repair firm Scorpion Engineering was looking for a way to ensure its vehicles were not being misused and to control fuel consumption when it bought CMS Technologies SupaTrak telematics system.
We get emergency call-outs all the time, and there's always the temptation to speed or to drive the vehicles too hard in a bid to get to a customer as fast as possible," says MD Nigel Hannon. When we are transporting vehicles, speed and safety can also be issues to monitor, not to mention the occasional temptation for the driver the take the scenic route or build in the odd deviation, which costs the company unnecessary time and money.
"I had to be able to see what was going on. And I needed a record of events in order to find ways in which we could reduce fuel consumption and save time without adversely affecting our ability to provide the standard of service our customers expect. With SupaTrak I can do this, and it has made all parts of our business more accountable. It's proving a great innovation.' he concludes. "In time, I expect it will provide the catalyst for other changes that can improve productivity and make the business more efficient."
