Challenge:
Simply Lunch is a fast-growing company that supplies major UK store chains with sandwiches and lunch goods, with headquarters in London and a second site in Birmingham.
As the fleet expanded to over 60 vehicles operating nationwide, the need for enhanced driver training and safety measures became apparent. To support this, the business recognised the importance of using footage to provide clear insights, enabling effective driver training, boosting driver morale, and maintaining competitive insurance premiums.
Teletrac Navman’s solutions have transformed the way we manage safety, enabling us to provide bespoke driver training that mitigates future risks. We’ve seen significant improvements in safety and wellbeing metrics, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from our fleet. Drivers feel valued and well cared for, and the rewards have been an added bonus.
-Olly Smith, Head of Logistics at Simply Lunch.
Solution:
After a period of consultancy with Teletrac Navman’s specialists, Simply Lunch received a sophisticated, AI-powered, dual-camera dash cam system that reviews every minute of drive time.
This enabled Simply Lunch’s fleet manager to see inside and outside the cab and check the road conditions, their driver’s driving style and in-cab behaviour at the time of any accident or incident of perceived unsafe driving– which would be flagged in real-time through Teletrac Navman’s TN360 fleet management software.
The combination of the IQ Smart Camera and TN360 also provides Simply Lunch with two routes to improving driver behaviour on the road: The Camera’s built-in Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) and Driver Status Monitoring (DSM) features offer real-time feedback to drivers so they can make instant improvements. While individual driver performance data is logged in the Teletrac Navman coaching app which can then issue suggested improvements in real-time or be used for the development of personal training programmes.
Results:
The impact of Teletrac Navman's solutions on Simply Lunch’s operations has been profound. Since implementing the TN360 software and Smart Camera range:
- The business has seen improved safety performance across the board, resulting in lower insurance premiums.
- Focused driving and adherence to safety protocols have increased significantly, fostering a safer work environment.
- Reduced instances of harsh braking and speeding have led to fewer maintenance disruptions.
