TomTom’s triumph at last week’s GreenFleet Awards highlighted the company’s leadership in fleet management.
That’s the opinion of Giles Margerison, Business Solutions Director for TomTom in the UK & Ireland, who collected the prize for IT Innovation from TV comedian Alistair McGowen at Twickenham Stadium last Thursday [13 October].
Awarded for the company’s WORKsmart-Eco solution, Margerison [pictured] said: “This award demonstrates our leadership in fleet management and recognises our products and solutions as best-in-class.
“Achieving success in such a highly regarded awards programme is a real achievement and we are delighted to be recognised for the immediate impact we can make to businesses with our easy-to-deploy solutions.”
Other candidates included GreenRoad, DrivingMonitor, Trimble MRM, CMS Supatrak, and Masternaut.
Giles explained further how WORKsmart–Eco reduces the environmental and financial costs of mobile workforces by providing concise information to managers and drivers, providing the visibility and control to promote greener, safer and more cost-efficient businesses.
“With it they can benchmark their fleet for improved efficiency while employees can improve their own driving performance in real time through indicators on their navigation device, whilst finding the smartest, most fuel-efficient, routes to their destinations,” added a TomTom spokesperson.
