Burflex Scaffolding saves time and money with telematics 21 February 2014

Burflex Scaffolding says it has cut operational costs by £4,000 per month on labour costs since installing Fleetmatics GPS vehicle tracking on its 40-strong fleet.

Burflex's managing director Steve Cox says the savings are the result of more accurate time sheet monitoring, and adds that the firm has also improved productivity and customer service, using Fleetmatics system's Live Map function.

"Thanks to Fleetmatics, I am always able to verify if drivers have been punctual in reaching their job sites and whether they have completed their jobs on time," comments Cox.

Burflex also uses the system's reports as time sheet, which helps ensure that drivers are paid according to ignition on-times.

"The drivers are aware of this," explains Cox, "as a result of which we have reduced our labour costs by £1000 per week. The Fleetmatics GPS tracking solution definitely pays off."

And he explains that Fleetmatics has also helped the company increase productivity and profitability by tackling fleet idling times – meaning more jobs completed per day.
