Leading online telematics service provider expands its Scottish operations with over half a million pounds in orders

• Four major contracts boost Cybit’s presence in Scotland
• Focuses sales of Fleetstar-Online on key fleet, haulage, construction and service markets

Cybit, the UK’s leading online telematics service provider, has announced a major expansion of its Scottish operation following recent major contract wins from leading Scottish organisations including fuel distributor Bernard Brogan Limited, private house builder The Tulloch Group, multi-utility service provider Turriff, and Kerr & Smith, the leading independent motor trader group. With recent contract wins in excess of £500,000, Cybit has moved quickly to become Scotland’s fastest-growing telematics vendor, clearly establishing its Fleetstar-Online solution as an ideal choice for a number of key Scottish markets including the fleet, haulage, construction and service sectors.

Cybit’s telematics solutions can help Scottish fleet operators to control their costs and maximise efficiency gains within the specific constraints of the recent Road Transport Directive, part of the broader Working Time Directive that came into force on April 4th 2005. Key benefits achievable using the Cybit telematics solution include maximising efficient journey planning to reduce fuel wastage, measuring vehicle utilisation, verifying and challenging the time spent loading and unloading at distribution centres, and helping drivers to avoid traffic delays and ensure working time is optimised.

“Scotland is an important market for Cybit, and we’re delighted that we have achieved such quick success with organisations such as Bernard Brogan, Kerr and Smith, Tulloch and Turriff adding to the growing number of customers who are seeing the benefits that can result from effective telematics implementation,” commented Cybit’s CEO Richard Horsman. “With initial entry-level costs from as little as £20 per vehicle per month, our Fleetstar-Online solution is proving an attractive choice for Scottish organisations looking for flexible and scalable fleet and asset management solutions.”

Cybit provides organisations with a scalable, Internet-based vehicle tracking and fleet management solution, and its Fleetstar-Online solution continues to prove itself as the logical choice for businesses that want to move away from more traditional, first generation telematics solutions. In recent months the company has been selected as the telematics partner for the ‘Sainsbury’s to You’ home delivery fleet and as the provider of the core technology for Norwich Union’s unique ‘Fleet Telematics’ offering. Cybit has also recently launched a major programme to encourage users of first generation telematics systems to switch to Fleetstar-Online and benefit from the clear ROI and performance enhancements that Cybit can provide to businesses.

Scottish organisations that have already switched to Fleetstar-Online from rival first generation solutions are quickly benefiting from improved productivity, access to real-time operations data thanks to GPRS connectivity, reduced operating costs, the ability to validate timesheets and overtime claims, elimination of unauthorised mileage, compliance with Health and Safety Legislation, driver support, Duty of Care and 24/7 online visibility of current fleet positions.
