Instances of idling reduced by 90%
Elevator Engineering Services (EES UK), a leading engineering and manufacturing firm specialising in supporting the lift and elevator industry across the UK, has adopted a telematics solution from Masternaut in order to reduce costs.
The Northampton based support provider has a UK-wide team of mobile workers in the Midlands, London and South of England, and works with renowned lift industry leaders such as Kone and Otis. EES UK specialises in areas such as lift CCTV and security systems, lighting and electrical equipment, fire regulation compliance, shaft steelwork, entrance-ways and flooring, and lift removal.
Since using the Masternaut Connect telematics platform, EES have seen vehicle idling fall drastically, with instances of idling reduced by 90% in the past year alone thanks to feedback given to drivers. Other driver behaviour such as speeding and harsh events are being closely monitored too, with staff given feedback about poor driving behaviour. For the finance team, this has helped to save a significant amount in fuel expenditure.
Ray Brown, UK Commercial Director at Elevator Engineering Services commented: “Our industry is all about precision and safety – there can be no failures when it comes to elevators. We take the same approach to our mobile workforce. The date Masternaut has been vital in maintaining a safe, productive workforce on the move.”
Martin Hiscox, CEO of Masternaut, added: “It’s great to see telematics having an effect across the business at EES UK, from the finance department to the HR team. The technology has applications far beyond simple vehicle tracking as it’s more commonly known for. Timesheets, payroll, fuel reduction, driver behaviour improvement – the list goes on, and EES UK is just one example of how telematics can be utilised to become a key piece of business technology.”
