Haymills to optimise delivery operation with cost-effective Cybit telematics solution

  • Fleetstar-Online enables building contractors to improve utilisation of mobile workforce
  • Telematics implementation will help Haymills improve customer service
Cybit, the UK’s leading online telematics service provider, has announced that Haymills, the national building contractor, has implemented Fleetstar-Online into 42 of its delivery vehicles. The implementation of Cybit’s telematics solution will allow Haymills to monitor the use of its vehicles in real-time to improve the efficiency of its delivery operation through enhanced fleet visibility. The deployment of Fleetstar-Online, and the use of real-time data, will help Haymills to provide its customers with a more efficient and productive delivery service.

Haymills has selected Fleetstar-Online, the Internet-based fleet and asset management solution from Cybit, to improve the efficiency of service delivery to clients and to help improve routing between customer sites. The extensive reporting functionality offered by the solution will allow Haymills to monitor its fleet and highlight where improvements can be made. Fleetstar-Online will also enhance the level of Duty of Care that Haymills provides to its mobile employees by monitoring issues such as speed, mileage, driving times and good driving practices.

“At Haymills we strive for continuous improvement, based on a systematic analysis of the weaknesses and strengths of our processes. That is why we decided to investigate the viability of deploying telematics into our delivery fleet,” commented Gary Nunn, Director of Haymills. “Cybit’s Fleetstar-Online stood out above a number of other telematics solutions for its comprehensive reporting system which provides data in a manageable, user-friendly format. Additionally, the Cybit solution involved a simple, one-off cost with no hidden add-ons. We found that the costs of other telematics offerings were dependent on the amount of information that is downloaded.

“Cybit has already allowed us to make early gains in the three months since its initial implementation. This includes making better use of our workforce, with the knock-on effect of providing our clients with faster service delivery,” continued Gary Nunn. “Should the implementation of telematics continue to offer the benefits displayed so far, I am sure that we will look to broaden our use of Fleetstar-Online in the near future.”

“An ever increasing number of fleet operators are recognising the benefits offered by telematics,” commented John Wisdom, Group Director Sales and Marketing at Cybit. “We are delighted that companies such as Haymills are embracing this enabling technology, and using it to directly contribute to improvements in customer service. Fleetstar-Online is an extremely cost-effective business tool, which can help organisations streamline their fleet performance and enhance Duty of Care.”

Fleetstar-Online is Cybit’s scalable Internet-based telematics solution that features real-time vehicle tracking, exception reporting, replay mode, customised reports, mileage information, SMS messaging and live traffic information. By implementing Fleetstar-Online, organisations are able to take advantage of Norwich Union’s Fleet Telematics insurance offering. Fleet Telematics offers organisations that install Cybit’s telematics platform fixed insurance premiums for the two to three year duration of the agreement and also gives them the ability to earn a Risk Recognition Rebate of up to 16 per cent per annum for meeting risk management KPIs.
