Operational benefits

Transport managers will gain visibility of the time drivers spend at the depot from the start to the end of the shift. Isotrak’s analysis has shown that drivers can typically spend 2 hours a shift at the depot, costing anything from £10 to £25 or more per shift. Increased visibility of this unproductive time combined with re-planning driver shift starts leads to a reduction in wasted time.

Pre-planning driver shifts with visibility of total driver hours required will enable reduction of ‘just in case’ labour costs such as excessive agency labour booking. Agency drivers are both scarce and costly, and substantial reductions can be made.

By maximising the efficiency of your drivers and vehicles, fewer resources are needed to run the same routes. This allows you to reduce the size of your fleets and consequently save money.

Isotrak lets you calculate routes to maximise backhaul opportunities and minimise wasted journeys. By more accurately scheduling delivery times, idle time at depot is reduced, meaning that your vehicles spend more time out on the road, and less time empty.

Isotrak lets your depots – and customers – know exactly where your vehicles are, meaning they can more accurately prepare for the arrival of goods. Because they can be ready in advance, your vehicles spend less time queuing or waiting for unloading, improving turnaround times.

If the vehicle Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus option is selected, visibility of poor driving style or poor vehicle performance can help reduce vehicle running costs; most importantly reduce fuel consumption.
