Quartix Fleet Vehicle Tracking Beeches Recovery Case Study

BEECHES RECOVERY – A BRIEF PROFILE

Parkmyauto Ltd (Edinburgh And Scotland) Are Pleased To Present This Quartix Fleet Vehicle Tracking Case Study

Based at Great Barr, Birmingham, Beeches Recovery provides 24-hour recovery and breakdown assistance for cars and light commercial vehicles across the West Midlands.

Established for some thirty years, the company operates a fleet of more than twenty specialist vehicles, and works with a wide range of motoring organisations – including Europe Assistance, AXA Assistance, Britannia Rescue & Call Assist – as well as local and national vehicle dealerships, accident repair centres and private motorists.

It has both ISO 9001 and PAS 43 quality assurance accreditation.

The company also runs a car transport business and a car transportation service, which specialises in the transport of classic and prestige vehicles, and provides garage services at Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Walsall.

The car transport operation delivers and collects cars, vans and light commercials to and from every part of the United Kingdom.

Beeches Recovery has recorded significant efficiency and financial gains since equipping its specialist vehicle fleet with our Quartix real-time tracking.

Director Amar Nandra said: “I would conservatively estimate the return on investment to be in the region of ten times the capital outlay.”

Before turning to Quartix, the company was without any method of locating its vehicles in real-time, which made it very difficult for staff to know which recovery vehicle to send where, and resulted in the inefficient use of vehicles and technicians.

Improved response times

“We wanted to find the next suitable vehicle for a breakdown in real-time, thereby reducing dead mileage and ensuring a prompt and efficient service for our customers,” added Mr Nandra.

“Now, not only have we realised benefits in terms of a reduction in fuel costs but also an improvement in our response times to breakdown and recovery incidents.

“Indeed, the Quartix system has proved to be invaluable to our operation. Being able to provide accurate estimated arrival times is very important and our customers are impressed that we can locate vehicles in real-time. Also, when invoicing, the Quartix reporting system provides trip information to facilitate accurate charging.

“I would recommend the Quartix system without hesitation to prospective customers.”

Competitive pricing – ‘excellent’ feedback

Although Beeches Recovery looked at several companies for GPS locators, our Quartix product was chosen for its competitive pricing and “excellent” feedback from companies which already had some experience of the system.

Mr Nandra also points to a variety of other reasons his company chose Quartix telematics over the rest. Listing them, he said:

• “The tracking system is based online rather than a software platform, allowing vehicles to be located from any device with internet access.”
• “Transparent pricing ensures the fleet operator knows the given costs for a particular vehicle for a particular month, thereby making budgeting easier. (When comparing tracking systems, being able to compare prices readily is desirable).”
• “The system is very reliable and stable. The hardware is also extremely reliable: if we have had any technical issues they have always been addressed as quickly as possible.”
• “The reduction of dead mileage, efficient route planning and knowing where all vehicles are at any one time ensures an optimal use of vehicles and technicians. Therefore, savings can be made from direct fuel costs as well as a reduction in maintenance bills as less mileage is consumed.”
• “The Quartix system is very easy for all members of our team to use and if we have any queries the support staff are always available to help.”
• “The level of service provided is excellent, from the sales team to accounts and administration to the support staff.”

‘Offers us exactly what we want’

Beeches Recovery, which has used the Quartix’s popular pay-as-you-go service, currently employs its high specification Corporate solution, chosen for its additional reporting functionality and on-screen ‘dashboard’, which displays key information about a fleet’s performance.

Amar Nandra, who is extremely pleased and satisfied with the Quartix system, said: “It offers us exactly what we want. But having said that, the excellent support team are always willing to listen to suggestions for future enhancements and should anything come up I am sure they would be willing to help.”

Andy Walters, Quartix managing director, said: “Beeches Recovery runs an extremely professional operation and it’s very good to know the company and its customers are benefiting in so many ways from Quartix vehicle tracking. We look forward to supporting the company with innovative telematics solutions and helpful, dependable service for many years to come.”

Quartix Pay As You Go Fleet Tracking Chaps Of Cambridge Case Study

Parkmyauto Ltd (Edinburgh And Scotland) Are Pleased To Present This Quartix Fleet Vehicle Tracking Case Study

Chaps – a brief profile

Chaps, based at Bar Hill just outside Cambridge, undertakes plumbing, heating and mechanical services contracts ranging in value from a few thousand pounds up to £2million. Formed in 2000 by Ian Corney, of Corney Heating and Plumbing Services, the company offers its services within three categories:

Domestic. Work includes design and installation services for new build, the refurbishment of residential properties, private houses and housing associations. All aspects of plumbing, heating, electrical and building works are undertaken.

Partnering. Chaps forms long-term partnerships with local authorities, housing associations and developers. Its work covers heating, plumbing, electrical, and kitchen and bathroom installations.

Commercial. Chaps provides mechanical and electrical services for new build and refurbished commercial developments. The company’s full design and installation service is employed on all types of contracts, including sports halls, care homes and schools.

For Chaps, the Cambridgeshire heating and mechanical services specialist, knowing the precise location of its vehicles and mobile staff is essential.

This – and the fact its original system has proved unreliable – is the main reason the Bar Hill company has appointed Quartix to provide 24-hour, real-time tracking.

System already making impressive savings

Chaps runs 44 cars and vans, and using the on-screen system is already making impressive savings through the fleet’s more efficient use. At the same time, it is benefiting from the system’s accurate record-keeping ability.

Raine Holmes, finance manager, explains: “For example, car drivers pay back their personal mileage, which the system records.

“Managers confirm details through the system”

“Vans are provided to Chaps employees for business use only, and private use is not allowed. On-site drivers are required to fill in timesheets, and the contract managers are able to confirm these details through the system.

“Of course, if we had a tax inspection we would have to prove they weren’t using the vans for personal use, and the system enables us to do just that.”

For immediate financial reasons Chaps has opted to connect to the Quartix tracking service using its flexible pay-as-you-go solution – with the intention of switching to its more cost-effective leasing/purchase product at a later date.

Twenty-four vehicles on PAYG scheme

Currently, Chaps has 24 vehicles using the PAYG scheme, each fitted with Quartix’s own-design tracking unit. However, as more leases with its old supplier run out – and as new vehicles are added – the company will ensure its entire fleet is linked to the Quartix system.

The reason, says the company, is not simply the system’s reliability – it has not broken down since Quartix was appointed – but also the standard of it’s after sales service.

“They get back to you straight away”

Ms Holmes adds: “You ring or email and they get back to you straight away. Everything happens exactly as you would expect of a professional company. They are a very good team, indeed.”

Andy Walters, Quartix managing director, says: “Chaps is a highly respected company in the Cambridge area, and their white and blue vans are a common sight in and around the city. We are delighted to be associated with this successful company and hope to continue providing them with good service for years to come.”

Quartix Fleet Tracking Case Study Canute Group Saves 300K Per Annum

Parkmyauto Ltd (Edinburgh And Scotland) Are Pleased To Present This Quartix Fleet Vehicle Tracking Case Study

Canute Group, Purfleet, Surrey

The Canute Group – a brief profile

When Canute Haulage Ltd was established in 1977 it had just two vehicles for collecting and delivering bricks and blocks for builders in the Purfleet area.

Today, the privately owned Canute Group operates a fleet of some 750 purpose-made vehicles to cater for markets as diverse as engineering, retail, construction, agriculture, healthcare, industrial and warehousing.

With headquarters at Purfleet and locations throughout the UK and Ireland, Canute prides itself on having the infrastructure, resources and experience to develop bespoke supply chain solutions.

Among its many clients are organisations large and small, including numerous familiar brands and household names.

Annual cost savings of around £300,000 are being made by the Canute Group, one of the fastest growing global supply chain providers, which has equipped more than 300 of its 750 vehicles with Quartix Pay As You Go real-time tracking.

The £100million company, with sites across the UK and Ireland, turned to Quartix after trialling two systems. The first suffered from a spate of breakdowns the second was removed when the operating company went into administration.

Mark Longhurst, IT manager, explained: “The first system had been installed on our recovery fleet, which operates Government contracts these contracts dictate that we must have a fully operational tracking system so that we can update them as to the whereabouts of a vehicle at all times.”

Canute approached Quartix for a raft of reasons, among them the company’s transparent pricing, straightforward pay-as-you-go rental scheme (no long-term contract), potential for cost savings, and the GPS system’s functionality and ease of use.

‘The team bends over backwards to assist’

Mr Longhurst added: “The reasons we chose Quartix are all the above, which have been met fully, and the after-sales support, which has exceeded expectations.

“In fact, the team, ranging from the support desk to managing director Andy Walters, bends over backwards to assist when needed, which is refreshing.”

As for cost savings, Canute’s financial director, Steve Ely, calculated the company saves as much as £1,000 per vehicle per year – an annual total of around £300,000.

‘Depots use the system to re-route vehicles’

Mark Longhurst agreed: “There is definitely a cost saving per vehicle as idle times have decreased and our depots use the system to re-route their vehicles to new jobs whilst they are out on the road.

“In addition, and something I witnessed recently whilst out with one of our clients: there was a query on vehicle movements we had the information to hand and on that particular occasion the system potentially saved us £200-£300.

“Also, there has been a decrease in the number of calls made to and from drivers the less time our drivers and other staff are on the phone to each other the more they can focus on other areas of business.”

Canute’s first telematics trials involved just a small number of vehicles, and it was with Quartix’s appointment that a full deployment was commissioned.

‘The biggest benefit is Quartix themselves’

The results, said Mr Longhurst, range from reduced costs to added value for customers, which “in itself brings financial benefits, including cost savings and new contracts.”

However, he considers the biggest benefit of using Quartix “is Quartix themselves.”

He concluded: “The after-sales support is excellent and we have a fantastic working relationship with the entire team, from the bottom all the way to the top.

“Andy Walters, once said to me that his ‘after sales support was good, how else could a company expect to keep its customers and build a relationship?’ Andy and his team have proved that this is their ethos and it is one which I wish all companies would adopt.”

Now, based on its positive experience with Quartix, Canute is working with Andy Walters to develop the systems further and look for more cost and control benefits.

Andy Kirk, sales and marketing director, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be Canute’s chosen supplier of vehicle tracking systems. It is a real pleasure to be working with a company which has such clearly defined requirements, and which uses the system to maximum effect.

“We hope to be working with Canute for many years to come, both on the existing system and as we introduce new technology in the future.”

Below Are Some Of The Many Benefits For Your Company:-

Reduce overtime and  increase capacity

Savings on overtime payments can easily reach thousands of pounds a year – providing a return on investment from the outset. But the real boost to your bottom line comes from increased capacity: most Quartix customers can get more done each day by using the information that the Quartix system provides. This can help avoid costly weekend working or even enable you to expand the business without increasing fixed costs and manpower.

Managing your duty of care and working time responsibilities:-

Employment legislation is becoming more complex and onerous all the time. Duty of care legislation and the Working Time Directive, as well as the taxable benefits of commercial vehicles, pose a management burden if proper records are to be maintained and monitored to ensure compliance. The Quartix system is an ideal tool which not only saves time but also provides you with a clearly recorded archive with accurate information.

Environmental benefits:-

Better utilisation can save up to 600 litres of fuel per year per vehicle, depending on mileage. On a fleet of 100 vehicles this can add up to 60,000 litres per year – an environmental saving of 162 tonnes of CO2 per annum. Across the Quartix installed base this is a saving of at least 32,000 tonnes of CO2 each year. Quartix maintains a policy of recycling all product packaging. All products are recycled at the end of their lives. Quartix is fully compliant with RoHS legislation.
