Cybit secures first major European telematics contract as it expands international operations

• Fleetstar-Online allows leading print industry supplier to improve fleet visibility and manage international deliveries across the UK, Germany, France and Holland

Cybit, the UK’s leading online telematics service provider, has announced its first European telematics contract following an order from Sericol, a world leader in the production of premium inks and consumables to the print industry. Sericol has installed Cybit’s Fleetstar-Online fleet and asset management solution into an initial 30 vehicles to help improve the visibility and management of its deliveries across the UK, Germany, France and Holland. Sericol selected Fleetstar-Online because of its comprehensive web-based fleet management tools, and the company will use the Cybit solution to improve vehicle utilisation, optimise routes and help ensure the safety of its drivers.

Cybit’s scalable Fleetstar-Online telematics solution supports multiple languages, and features a broad range of advanced functionality including real-time vehicle tracking, exception reporting, replay mode, customised reports, mileage information, SMS messaging and live traffic information. Broadening Cybit’s operations into Europe builds on the company’s strong success in the UK, where the company’s open platform telematics solutions have already helped to improve mobile workforce productivity, reduce operational costs and ensure Duty-of-Care provision for over 500 major organisations.

“Although we had an existing telematics solution, we wanted to migrate to an Internet-based telematics approach to help deliver management information about our fleet across the business," commented Mike Cole, Manager - Customer Service Centre at Sericol. "Most of our European deliveries use historical routes, which we believe can be optimised to increase the number of drops and make fuel savings. Cybit’s Fleetstar-Online solution will provide us with the necessary management tools to make this possible, while also providing additional benefits such as vehicle replay, mileage information and customisable reports.”

“With Fleetstar-Online we can provide organisations which operate across Europe, such as Sericol, with exactly the level of telematics functionality they require, while also providing them with an incremental upgrade capability so they can introduce additional capability when needed,” added Richard Horsman, Cybit’s CEO. “With our scalable business model and an expanding business base, Cybit is set to become the partner of choice for forward thinking European organisations such as Sericol that are looking to use telematics to help unlock hidden value within their business.”

Fleetstar-Online is Cybit’s scalable Internet based fleet and asset management solution that features real time vehicle tracking, exception reporting, replay mode, customised reports, mileage information, SMS messaging and live traffic information. It provides companies with a cost-effective ASP-based fleet management solution, which offers users anytime, anywhere access to the system via a standard web browser. The latest release of Fleetstar-Online introduces a unique modular approach to fleet management, providing fleet customers with access to industry leading technology that was previously available only to major enterprises.

Cybit has quickly established itself as the market leader for Internet-based telematics-enabled fleet management solutions. With its next generation telematics platform, Cybit combines key architecture strengths - such as an OpenAPI and decoupled technology and application layers - to enable organisations to easily integrate Cybit telematics technology with their own applications and bring them to market quickly.
