Cybit wins new £1 million contract with Fowler Welch

  • Helps optimise fleet activity with real-time planned vs actual monitoring

Cybit, the UK's leading online Telematics Service Provider, has won a new £1m contract with Fowler Welch, one of the UK’s leading distributors of fresh, chilled and ambient consumer products.

Cybit will deploy Fleetstar-Online across the Fowler Welch trailer fleet to optimise fleet operations and help maintain its award winning customer service levels. Fleetstar will integrate with Fowler Welch's Transport Management System, enabling live trip and consignment data to be monitored against planned delivery windows to ensure optimum performance. Fowler Welch can now manage its supply chain operations in real-time, with operational staff having the tools to quickly react as events unfold. Fleestar also aids compliance by generating alerts if trailer temperatures rise or fall outside of pre-set thresholds.

"Cybit's next generation of software and systems integration will provide us with tactical and strategic business tools to manage our fleet effectively and efficiently," commented Lee Juniper, Operations Director for Fowler Welch. "Fleetstar ensures that we can continue to provide the exceptional customer service that we are renowned for: our objective is to deliver the highest quality of service at low-cost and meet the sophisticated requirements of our customer base."

"We are delighted to announce this extensive contract renewal with such a prominent brand and valued customer," commented John Wisdom, Sales and Marketing Director, Cybit. "This contract endorses Cybit's position as a leading telematics service provider to the logistics supply chain sector, and illustrates Cybit's capability to produce a tailored solution to meet the demanding and very specific requirements of Fowler Welch.

"Telematics is increasingly seen as a business critical tool to help organisations reduce operational expense, raise efficiency, boost customer service levels and aid legislative compliance. This contract demonstrates Cybit's continued position as the trusted partner of choice within the telematics sector and we look forward to continuing to provide strength and experience to our current and future customers."

Fleetstar-Online is Cybit's industry leading, scalable suite of Internet-based Mobile Resource Management (MRM) and vehicle tracking tools. The high quality data relating vehicle and job performance is captured in conjunction with location information, reported and analysed through Fleetstar. This allows meaningful business decisions to be made using up to the minute information on operational performance. Powerful reporting capabilities facilitate effective management of operational costs and productivity; support strategic initiatives around Carbon footprint; and increase compliance with legislation including Duty of Care and Health and Safety. The strategic importance of Fleetstar-generated information extends beyond vehicle tracking into the heart of the enterprise: Fleet derived information can be directly integrated into a range of business systems to improve the efficiency of the entire organisation. Fleetstar provides the business-critical information that organisations need to execute a clear and rapid path to return on investment.
