Cybit appoints London Car Radio Centre (LCRC) as accredited reseller

• LCRC to sell Cybit’s web-based fleet management solution to East Midlands companies, enabling them to rapidly adopt mobile workforce management tools

Cybit, the UK’s leading provider of online fleet management and telematics solutions, has announced a reseller partnership with London Car Radio Centre (LCRC), one of the East Midlands leading providers of in-vehicle and mobile workforce technology. LCRC will sell Cybit’s scalable Fleetstar-Online fleet management software, satellite navigation and traffic information solutions to new and existing clients across the East Midlands. For the first time, this will provide them with a web-based fleet management solution to address the new Working Time Directive, provide duty of care to their mobile workforce and increase efficiency through improved planning and visibility.

The appointment of LCRC as a Cybit accredited reseller further extends the company’s market penetration for its next generation fleet management and telematics solutions and follows the recent appointment of Vanguard plc and Signature Industries as accredited resellers.

"The market for in-vehicle telematics technology has shifted significantly over the past five years, moving on from just being a stolen vehicle recovery solution to become a mobile workforce management tool," said Jon Riley, Managing Director of LCRC. "A number of factor such as the Working Time Directive, which requires companies to ensure that their mobile workers do not exceed working hours and take necessary breaks, mean that companies need to have increased visibility and management of their employees. These requirements can be fulfilled with Cybit’s web-based telematics offering which also provides measurable productivity improvements and reduced operational expenses."

"As one of the East Midlands’ leading providers of in-vehicle and mobile workforce technology, we’re delighted to appoint LCRC as an accredited reseller," said Jason Laight, Cybit’s Reseller Manager. "The company has over 30 years industry experience and understands the requirements of companies looking to enhance the efficiency of their fleet, whilst also providing duty of care to their employees. Even at this very early stage of the partnership, LCRC has an impressive pipeline of telematics business which is a clear signal of the market potential for our scalable telematics solutions and professional services."

Fleetstar-Online provides companies employing a mobile workforce with cost-effective ASP-based fleet management capabilities and a rapid return on investment. Fleet vehicles are fitted with a small electronic in-vehicle-unit (IVU) which is tracked by GPS in real-time and data transmitted to Cybit’s online control centre to be accessed by users over the Internet with a standard web browser. Fleetstar-Online’s ‘anytime, anywhere’ fleet management tools include real-time location-based tracking of vehicles, up-to-the-minute traffic information, route planning and scheduling, historical reporting and analysis, journey replay, exception reporting and SMS capabilities.
