Why Choose Ctrack

Mammoet

Mammoet (Netherlands), the global leader in heavy lifting and transport work, required automation in planning, kilometre registration for tax purposes, running hours of cranes and a maintenance model for all its vehicles, cranes, trucks, trailers and power packs. Mammoet is a company on the move and has recently strengthened its market leadership with the acquisition of the British competitor ALE.

Following on from a successful start in the Netherlands, Mammoet is now a Ctrack customer in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Malaysia and in the Middle East and Africa.

In addition to location, Mammoet also makes extensive use of the Ctrack maintenance module. This is how engine management is read from the power packs on the SPMT trailers. It reports on engine load, temperature and fuel consumption. Distances are transmitted via the speed signal.

Thames Water

Thames Water, the largest water and wastewater services supplier in the UK, identified the need for a vehicle tracking and fleet management system that would support the company’s ongoing efficiency programme through the optimisation of its fleet operation.

Thames Water needed an effective means of monitoring its mobile workforce and vehicles as part of the wider efficiency drive and therefore installed Ctrack to more than 1,200 vans used by the company’s service engineers.

The advanced vehicle tracking system has enabled Thames Water to increase productivity, reduce overheads and achieve tangible operating efficiencies.

Ctrack has also provided Thames Water with added insight into its fleet operations to achieve measurable business and operational benefits. This real-time and historical data has enabled the company to effectively manage mobile assets as part of the ongoing efficiency programme resulting in lower overheads, enhanced performance and related environmental impact.

Thames Water was able to cut fuel usage by almost 10 per cent, equating to 161,000 litres of diesel fuel. In addition, considerable environmental benefits have also been realised as a result of these fleet savings, with reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of approximately 429 tonnes. Thames Water is committed to achieving best-practice in environmental management and this cut in CO2 forms part of its initiative to minimise emissions of greenhouse gasses.

IntraPost

Initially using Ctrack for location determination only, IntraPost, with a strong emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility, set out to encourage more sustainable driving.

Sunderland City Council

Sunderland City Council installed Ctrack’s advanced vehicle tracking solution across 370 vans, road sweepers and refuse trucks within its building, maintenance and support services fleet.

Ctrack’s vehicle tracking system has provided Sunderland City Council with added insight into its fleet operation by providing real-time and historical data that has contributed to better management of mobile resources. By effectively tracking the mixed fleet of vehicles, the council has achieved a range of measurable business and operational benefits.

Fuel management was identified as a key aspect of the solution, with Sunderland City Council seeking to minimise usage and reduce the environmental impact of its fleet.

Ctrack has enabled the council to monitor and capture real-time movements to ensure vehicles are driven efficiently, avoid unnecessary journeys and remain on-route, resulting in fuel savings of up to 13%. Ctrack has also helped streamline accident management by providing access to accurate historical data detailing vehicle movements.

This information – including location, speed and direction – will assist in the investigation of vehicle incidents, protecting the council and its mobile workforce against fraudulent claims. Each vehicle has also been fitted with remote panic alarms, providing added security to lone employees especially those working late night shifts.

Lantrak

Lantrak is one of the largest material management and plant hire businesses in Australia. Having started in 1959, the company now specialises not only in sustainable soil management practices, but also provides a diverse range of earthmoving and plant hire solutions to civil and commercial industries, councils, and government bodies.

With Chain of Responsibility, driver safety, driving style and time on site being key areas of focus, they looked to Ctrack to implement a solution that would help manage compliance and keep their drivers safe.

Ctrack installed 80 premium trackers with Driver Fatigue buzzers in Lantrak’s vehicles and their sub-contractor’s fleet.

Customised alerts were set up 15 minutes prior to a driver’s scheduled breaks. Any break violation incurred continuous alerts to ensure drivers take required breaks.

Early results show a significant improvement in driving with incidents dropping 80% year on year.

Ctrack’s technology not only helps Lantrak in improving driver behaviour but also demonstrates a level of sophistication in compliance management to their clients.

Through the implementation of a control centre on their Sydney premises, Lantrak are able to show they are leading the way in monitoring, managing and measuring drivers as well as their actions on the roads.

With a team member dedicated to performance and compliance reporting, clients and sub-contractors can see that driving style is improving, no illegal dumping occurs and costs reductions can be achieved through optimised routing.

Storm Cox, Chief of Compliance at Lantrak credits Ctrack’s bespoke approach to the success of the partnership.
