South West Coaches has called on TomTom’s fleet management solutions in a bid to cut fuel costs and improve driver efficiency.
TomTom Business Solutions’ tracking and Remote LINK Working Time system was picked out by the Somerset-based coach and bus operator as the solution to better manage its vehicles and boost green credentials.
Peter Fairey, South West Coaches’ Operations Director, said: “We invested in the TomTom system having been quickly convinced it could cut our fuel consumption and help monitor and improve driver behaviour.
“We’ve been particularly impressed by the level of support we’ve received from TomTom’s local partner, Fleetview Solutions, and look forward to working closely with them in the months ahead.”
Giles Margerison, TomTom Business Solutions’ Director, added: “We are delighted such a long standing travel firm has recognised the operational and bottom line efficiency gains that our technology can deliver.”
The Remote LINK Working Time device identifies the driver of vehicles and enables employees to register working times while out on the road, producing a real-time record and ultimately reducing admin and associated costs for companies.
