Having been in the industry for 25 years, the company prides itself on its dependable approach and the outstanding service it delivers to its customers. And, with distinguished names like DHL, MOGAS, Puma Energy and Total to take care of, Transcargo needed a way to protect assets in transit and report on incidents.

Having heard about MiX by Powerfleet from Scania Tanzania (another one of MiX's customers), Transcargo began enquiring about acquiring a telematics system. They were immediately impressed by what MiX could offer – as well as the after-sales support and training – and opted for MiX Fleet Manager Premium.

MiX Fleet Manager Premium is a complete fleet management solution, which begins with the installation of on-board computers. These computers collect valuable vehicle and driver data, which is transmitted and made available in various formats via MiX's online information and tracking portal.

Transcargo had their entire fleet kitted out and, as a result, almost immediately started to feel the effects of being able to track and monitor their assets and drivers in real-time. They also found the system valuable when an incident occurred, as historical data could be pulled up from around the time of the incident for analysis purposes.

CEMEX Colombia

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

On looking to improve road safety and achieve long-term savings, Colombian-based construction supplier, CEMEX, chose to work with LAP Technologies, an official MiX by Powerfleet channel partner in Colombia. CEMEX opted for a comprehensive MiX fleet management solution that interfaces with the company’s fleet management software platform.

Since installation, CEMEX has been able to reduce hot engine shut off by nearly 500%, which has helped the company foresee any maintenance requirements and carry out the necessary preventative measures. Thanks to GPS data, fleet managers can also better co-ordinate maintenance scheduling and improve vehicle utilization and fleet efficiency.

With the help of driver behavior data, the company has implemented a reward program that has seen violations such as excessive speeding reduce from an average of 800 incidents per month to virtually zero. This has contributed to a 4% reduction in the fleet’s overall fuel consumption and fewer incidents on the road.

Mozzie Cabs

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Mozzie Cabs provides a 24/7 metered taxi service to Durban’s tourists and local residents, and has become one of the oldest and best-known taxi brands in the region. To ensure its passengers experience the safest and most reliable service possible, Mozzie Cabs recognised the need for a system that could actively monitor each vehicle’s location and provide detailed reports on each driver’s behaviour.

With a fleet of 43 sedans, Durban-based metered taxi service Mozzie Cabs averages 1 million trips each year by servicing hotels, the airport and night spots in and around the city. They required a system that could monitor vehicle and driver behaviour, as well as supply detailed trip information in case an accident analysis was needed.

After consulting with Compass Fleet Management (FM), a division of MiX by Powerfleet in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, Mozzie Cabs chose a comprehensive fleet management system that included MiX by Powerfleet’s FM Communicator on-board computer with GPS and GPRS functionality.

The overall results included reductions in in-town speeding and over-revving as well as a reduction in maintenance costs across the fleet. Mozzie Cabs also reported fewer road incidents, better fuel efficiency and improved overall customer satisfaction. In addition, the percentage of drivers who received a performance incentive increased by 4% over the course of a year due to improved driving behaviour.

Richmond's Coaches

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Established in 1946, Richmond’s Coaches is a family-owned coach hire company situated near Cambridge in the UK. Being in the public transport sector, Richmond’s needed to be able to track the location of their fleet of 20 coaches and three buses at any time, which would help to give accountability to their assets and reduce customer complaints for vehicles not running according to their timetables. They also wanted to be able to see the state of their vehicles’ engines and identify potential issues before damage was done.

As a long-standing customer, it made sense for Richmond’s to migrate to MiX Fleet Manager. The new and improved software platform offered 24/7 access to their fleet data as well as enhanced navigation, tracking and reporting.

Following the migration, Richmond’s achieved a number of tangible results. For example, apart from helping them to manage their fleet operation with optimum efficiency, the system allowed them to save money – on both overall fuel spend and vehicle maintenance.

This training taught drivers how the MiX Fleet Manager solution works, why their role is so important to the fleet’s success (encouraging engagement) and how to become a more economical and safer driver. Within less than a year, all of these actions have led to a 10 to 15% reduction in overall fuel consumption and it continues to drop.

Nippon Gases

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, Nippon Gases saw a sharp increase in the demand for medical oxygen transportation and delivery. This meant that they had to take a serious look at putting measures in place that ensure their drivers are transporting product quickly and, more importantly, safely.

MiX by Powerfleet is supplying Nippon Gases with the tools to monitor, score and analyse risky driving behaviour, especially speeding, to ensure that trucks arrive safely at their destination with the product intact and reduce the risk of accidents. This was key as getting oxygen to patients on time can be a life-or-death situation.

In addition, vehicle stability is also being closely observed using an on-board computer that measures g-force. This ensures that drivers are not handling their vehicles recklessly, such as braking or cornering too harshly. These actions and others are signs of aggressive driving and may damage product during transportation.

Nippon Gases continues to confidently supply medical gases as well as deliver and produce cooling solutions for the transportation of temperature-sensitive vaccines across Europe. This all thanks to the ongoing use of MiX by Powerfleet’s fleet management solution alongside RIBAS (an in-cab driver display for alerts), geofencing and trailer ID.

Clive Barford Ltd

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

G4S Cash Solutions

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

G4S chose MiX by Powerfleet to be their telematics provider because they knew that the company’s decades-long industry experience would be exactly what they needed to help them achieve their main objectives of reducing environmental impact, minimising accidents and optimising fuel spend.

MiX by Powerfleet systematically tackled these objectives by implementing an on-board computer (MiX 4000) to capture vehicle/engine diagnostics, an in-vehicle display (MiX DriveMate) to provide live feedback to drivers on the road, a driver engagement app and reporting capabilities to collate data and translate it into easy to view Dashboards.

Despite implementing all this telematics software during a difficult economic period, excellent results were achieved within a short time period. G4S’ collision rate decreased by a whopping 80% in 6 months! This was in part due to their drivers’ safety score increasing by 66%. The fleet’s idling hours decreased by 43%, leading to a reduction of two tons of CO2 emissions per year the fleet is in operation.

Linde Gas

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Linde needed their fleets equipped with a standardised combination of telematics solutions. To match their needs, MiX by Powerfleet equipped Linde’s Romanian, Greek and Turkish fleets with MiX Fleet Manager (an inclusive fleet management solution), MiX Vision (an in-cab video solution), MyMiX (a driver engagement app) and MiX 3D (a remote digital tachograph data download service).

With all these solutions in place, Linde now closely monitor and manage the behaviour of their drivers, especially those behaviours that have been proven to increase crash risk. The in-cab cameras (provided through MiX Vision) have made drivers more cautious while driving and created a culture of safety awareness. These cameras have also helped Linde meet compliance requirements. With the addition of MyMiX, the driver engagement app, drivers can view their safety scores and track their personal performance so that training can be implemented to reduce any risky driving behaviours.

Linde experienced major safety-related results within a short period of time after implementation. Speeding, harsh acceleration and harsh braking, all behaviours that increase the risk of crashes and raises vehicle maintenance costs, has been drastically reduced. The number of kilometres that have been driven safely by Linde’s Romanian, Greek and Turkish fleets has increased fivefold in the last two years of implementing telematics with the help of MiX. Customer satisfaction rates have also improved as the newly gathered telematics data now makes scheduling more reliable and provides delivery notifications to customers.

DTLO

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Using MiX Fleet Manager, MiX Vision (an in-cab cameras) and MiX 4000 (an on-board computer capturing engine metrics), DTLO started measuring the behaviours of drivers (such as speeding or harsh braking) and reports were created to find the root cause of accidents. Subsequently, a driver training programme was created to coach drivers to behave more cautiously on the road to decrease the rate of accidents.

DTLO saw a 96% reduction in accidents within less than six months of implementing MiX by Powerfleet’s solutions. Knock-on effects were a complete elimination of customer complaints about driver behaviour, a reduction in operation costs and increased compliance with regulations.

Wincanton

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Wincanton can now use the vehicle and driver data that MiX Fleet Manager and MiX 3D collects and transmits (such as fuel expenditure, driver behaviour, vehicle activity, location and more) to locate issues within their fleet.

14% DECREASE IN FUEL EXPENDITURE WITHIN 6 MONTHS.

With the help of MiX Vision, Wincanton has access to visual evidence captured with a combination of in-cab and road-facing cameras. MiX DriveMate (an in-vehicle driver display) and the MyMiX app assists with curbing bad driving behaviour on the road. These solutions do this by providing warnings to drivers on the road when an event is triggered, assigns scores based on these events and gives drivers access to their scores so they can manage their performance and receive appropriate training.

This winning combination has given Wincanton tangible results in the areas they were aiming to improve. There is greater driver engagement and behaviour can be monitored more closely, which has led to a sharp decrease in harsh acceleration, harsh braking and harsh cornering. In turn, this has decreased Wincanton’s fleet safety risk and resulted in a reduction in fuel expenditure.

Nottingham City Transport

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

To ensure transparency, drivers were involved in the process by training them on how each solution works and why it’s necessary. Large amounts of vehicle and driver data can now be collected and drivers are given real-time feedback on their behaviour (such as speeding). Scores are assigned based on predetermined criteria and drivers are ranked accordingly. Drivers can view these scores on the driver-facing MyMiX app and can monitor their own performance. Those individuals who receive a green rating, are praised and offered incentives while those with an amber or red rating are given appropriate training and guidance on how to improve.

Nottingham City Transport has seen a number of positive results due to implementing MiX by Powerfleet’s solutions. These results include faster data collection, a more efficient and ongoing coaching campaign, increased driver engagement and deeper insight into daily fleet operations.

Cardiff Bus

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Cardiff Bus is the main operator of bus services in the Welsh capital of Cardiff and its surrounds. Their iconic green and orange fleet transports 100,000 passengers on 3,000 journeys every single day.

3 ENGINES SAVED FROM FAILURE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF IMPLEMENTATION, SAVING APPROXIMATELY £30K.

To put Cardiff Bus on the road to success, MiX by Powerfleet implemented solutions to address two things – driver behaviour and fleet maintenance. With the help of MiX Fleet Manager and the RIBAS driver display add-on, Cardiff Bus can track poor driving behaviours (such as speeding and hard braking) and provide in-cab warnings to drivers when they engage in these behaviours. The data from these two solutions are then used to implement driver scoring. Using the MyMiX app, drivers track their scores and their overall performance.

MiX Fleet Manager generates large volumes of data, every day. Using that data and combining it with meaningful reporting, Cardiff Bus now implements preventative maintenance by meaningful engine temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage and accelerometer data. Their engineering team uses this information to schedule repairs and maintenance before serious damage is done to engines. This, in turn, saves costs, reduces downtime, extends the lifetime of vehicles and much more.

SAV

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

SAV chose MiX Telematics, via Chip2Chip, as their fleet management provider because of the company’s global footprint, strong infrastructure, value for money solutions and local, face-to-face support.

"EFFICIENT AND FLUID DRIVING STYLES SAVES FUEL AND IS ECO-FRIENDLY." 12% SAVINGS IN FUEL AND RECIPIENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD.

MiX Fleet Manager and the RIBAS add-on was installed in 145 of SAV’s trucks and street sweepers to monitor driving behaviours like speeding, excessive idling and revving, and more. When drivers practise these behaviours, they expend fuel unnecessarily which, in turn, has a negative impact on the environment because of carbon dioxide emissions and increase fleet costs. SAV then utilised this behavioural data to implement appropriate driver training to encourage improvement and awareness.

As a result of implementing these solutions and appropriately using the data at hand, SAV managed to reduce their fuel expenditure by 12%, decreased the carbon dioxide emissions in their lateral loading systems by 400 tonnes and won an award for their outstanding contribution towards creating a more sustainable environment.

Transmec Group

2 EURO PER VEHICLE PER DAY NET COST SAVING.

MiX Wired Asset Tracker is a GSM/GPRS device that includes an accelerometer and GPS technology. It connects directly to the power of Transmec Group’s trailers to give real-time information about their whereabouts and activities. Trip reports are included with the solution and these reports display kilometres travelled, current location, dates and times of trips and much more. Extensive training was given to dispatchers on the purpose of the solution and how it works. This helped ensure transparency of the process (which promotes buy-in) and equipped dispatchers with the skills to properly utilise the trip reports that the MiX Wired Asset Tracker solution generates.

Transmec Group saw results within 6 to 12 months of implementation. Customer satisfaction rose by 50%, utilisation increased by 20% and efficiency improved by 40%. They even saw a cost saving of €2 per day.

Dreams

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

3 ENGINES SAVED FROM FAILURE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF IMPLEMENTATION, SAVING APPROXIMATELY £30K.

MiX by Powerfleet installed their main solution MiX Fleet Manager and added on MiX DriveMate, RIBAS and a tracking solution. Drivers were helped through implementation with a related workshop. With all of these solutions, they could now collect vehicle and driver data, identify bad driving habits and analyse behaviours with in-depth reporting. This information was then used by Dreams as part of their driver engagement programme that gives drivers with the best scores rewards to serve as motivation. The tracking solution makes it much easier for Dreams to locate their trailers and trucks at all times, and improves retrieval rate in case of theft.

Within 6 months of implementation, Dreams started seeing results. Driver scores improved from 81.70 to 96.46 (the maximum score is 100). Drivers are now more willing to drive safely after their reward programme was linked to MiX by Powerfleet’s driver scoring solutions. They can be held more accountable for their actions on the road, lowering the risk of crashes and improving fleet safety.

CGG

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

CGG established a need to be able to better monitor its fleets out in the field. The company's land sites, known as missions, operate on an autonomous basis. Each mission is home to up to 100 light and heavy off-road vehicles. In almost all the cases, missions are located in remote areas, ranging from verdant jungles to the most arid deserts.

CGG decided to equip its fleets with a MiX by Powerfleet solution to be able to track its vehicles no matter where they might be and to be able to monitor drivers' speeds and driving behaviours. In doing so, the company's key objective was to achieve a reduction in accidents.

Today, CGG is able to constantly monitor the exact position of each of its vehicles and follow their journeys. Most importantly, the company can record maximum speeds and incidents of harsh braking and acceleration, previously the two main causes of accidents involving CGG vehicles.

TODAY, CGG IS ABLE TO CONSTANTLY MONITOR THE EXACT POSITION OF EACH OF ITS VEHICLES AND FOLLOW THEIR JOURNEYS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE COMPANY CAN RECORD MAXIMUM SPEEDS AND INCIDENTS OF HARSH BRAKING AND ACCELERATION, PREVIOUSLY THE TWO MAIN CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS INVOLVING CGG VEHICLES.

British Truck Racing Association

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Speed monitoring is mandatory in all races organised by BTRA. This monitoring is dual purpose as it ensures that trucks have a level playing field and, more importantly, that truck drivers remain safe and crash-free during races.

MiX Telematics has proven time and again to BTRA that their speed monitoring is precise every race. MiX Fleet Manager, the solution used, also provides an on-board alert system that lets drivers know when they’ve exceeded the speed limit, giving them opportunity to slow down, or when they are about to go over a predetermined speed.

In addition to accurate speed monitoring, MiX Telematics provides the invaluable services of a Judge in Fact of Speed that offers on-site support for BTRA to ensure rules are correctly enforced or to settle disputes on racing days.

ASD Metal Services realised that in order to provide the highest levels of customer service, they needed a tool that could provide quick access to information regarding vehicle location and availability.

INCREASED FLEET MONITORING, SAFER DRIVERS, BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Following a careful review of the market, they approached MiX by Powerfleet regarding a GPS-based track and trace solution and the accompanying MiX Fleet Manager software. As a result, ASD Metal Services has been able to maintain its leadership status and stay ahead of the competition. The solution has also enabled better customer service and has helped to train drivers to be safer.

Borg Manufacturing

Despite being an extremely successful operation, Borg was aware of a high rate of unsafe driving and vehicle rollovers – especially in deliveries that took vehicles over hills and through forests. Airco, a MiX by Powerfleet channel partner based in Sydney, recommended MiX Fleet Manager, a fully integrated fleet management solution that would help to meet the company’s safety, efficiency and compliance needs.

By combining an in-vehicle monitoring system (IVMS) with MiX Vision, MiX’s in-cab video offering, Borg Manufacturing could immediately start monitoring driver behavior, driving hours and vehicle performance in a bid to improve their business outcomes. Implementation began in February 2015 and, by March, the system had already started showing a return on investment.

In terms of RAG scoring, green (safe) scores went from 45% of total km driven to 99% in just six months. Red (unsafe) scores dropped from 22.49% to 0.11% in just seven months, and amber scores dropped from 33.01% to 4.52% over a total reporting period of 16 months.

The company also set up geo-fences in areas where rollovers had happened on a regular basis and dropped speed limits in those areas from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. Drivers had no choice but to slow down, with the result being a 100% reduction in rollovers.

Red Bus

In collaboration with channel partner Vehicle Technologies, a MiX by Powerfleet fleet management solution has now been fitted in 77 of their buses. The operator is responsible for providing transport services to around 3.8 million passengers and is committed to improving safety and efficiency, while lowering carbon emissions.

Red Bus CEO, Paul McNoe, says the vision for the operation is to lead the way in passenger transport in New Zealand. He also expects that on-going use of the MiX by Powerfleet solution will bring about enhanced passenger comfort, reduced accidents and savings in terms of maintenance costs.

When the company approached channel partner Intellifleet, their goals included to promote safe and efficient driving habits, better manage their drivers and vehicles, locate their remote vehicles at all times, and reduce vehicle damage caused harsh road conditions.

A MiX by Powerfleet fleet management solution was installed in 48 of their vehicles to help them effectively manage their risk. The solution included In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS), satellite tracking, roll-over and panic alerts as well as advanced reporting and analytics.

Results included a dramatic shift in driver behavior and a massive driver scoring improvement. A significant reduction in vehicle damage and maintenance costs was also achieved, due to the reported decrease in abusive driving habits. Dunns Earthmoving also benefited from fuel cost reductions, while reporting that they received excellent after-sales support.

To them, the safe operation of heavy motor vehicles on public roads and farm tracks is of utmost importance. They were therefore looking for a system to improve both driver and public safety, enhance milk collection and truck performance, and manage in excess of 1,500 drivers. They also wanted to be proactive in reliability management.

In partnership with New Zealand channel partner, Vehicle Technologies, Fonterra installed a MiX by Powerfleet fleet management solution. Among the results, Fonterra soon noticed a significant reduction in high-speed incidents and rollovers, and found that their drivers were gaining public recognition as being safe and courteous drivers.

Total, Marketing & Services’s holding company, has always held safety in high regard and have committed themselves to various global road safety initiatives. This is why it was important to enhance the current safety systems with the help of telematics.

MiX by Powerfleet was chosen for various reasons including the local support they are able to provide for all the regions serviced by Total and the fact that they can offer the large amount of capacity the company requires. MiX Fleet Manager Premium was the solution chosen with MiX Hours of Service and MiX Vision as add-ons.

With all of these solutions in place, Total Marketing & Services can now monitor and manage driving hours and driver behavior while also collecting important vehicle and driver data for later review. Doing so has proven valuable in reducing accidents, mitigating risks and anticipating potentially hazardous situations on the road.

Triunfo Concebra

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

MiX Fleet Manager Premium, a sophisticated telematics data collection and analysis tool, has been helping to measure the movements of Triunfo Concebra’s drivers and vehicles. In particular, the system has been used to look at metrics like speeding, braking, acceleration and more to see where improvements can be made.

After using the system for only three months, a reduction of 8% (approximately 7,500 liters) in fuel consumption was seen. This, in turn, has led to a decrease in the amount of air pollutants produced by Triunfo Concebra, a definite win for the environment. In addition to this, drivers have been made more aware of the effect their actions on the road have on others and their vehicles, something that has led to a large decrease in the amount of road accidents as well as a reduction in maintenance costs.

Great service is of the utmost importance to Triunfo Concebra. With MiX Fleet Manager Premium’s on-board computers in place to monitor the fleet, the company has been able to increase their response time due to better location accuracy and ultimately deliver services more efficiently.

Crusader Logistics

2021-12-15T05:56:10+00:00

Alongside this, they also offer warehousing and fleet leasing solutions using their extensive knowledge on transport management.

With MiX Vision cameras installed, Crusader Logistics can now view video clips of driver behaviour whenever crucial events (like harsh braking or speeding) are triggered. Following these events, data is collected from this footage and use to coach drivers to mitigate and prevent future incidents.

Crusader Logistics has experienced their drivers operating in a safer and more efficient manner which has led to a decrease in fuel consumption and, in turn, monetary savings. Through regular review of driver behaviour, Crusader Logistics can now more accurately identify potential issues and put preventative measures in place.

British American Tobacco

2019-11-11T08:52:56+00:00

They have been a longstanding customer and partner of MiX by Powerfleet and have been utilising their fleet management solutions since 2016. MiX by Powerfleet were chosen as the preferred vendor for BAT based on our global footprint and the fact that we could service all the markets in which BAT operate.

British American Tobacco (BAT) are driven by two objectives. One is creating safer fleets as safety underpins everything that BAT undertakes. Reducing the number of accidents to zero is one of the ways BAT will achieve this objective. The second objective is improving their company’s sustainability, which is at the heart of their transformation journey called A Better Tomorrow™. BAT aims to achieve carbon neutrality across their value chain by 2050.

By utilising a variety of MiX by Powerfleet’ tailored fleet management tools, BAT now has access to vehicle and driver data that is organised into easy-to-understand reports. Using this information, the company has reduced speeding incidents per 100 kilometers driven and harsh braking events by 40% while harsh acceleration events were reduced by 18%. BAT has even managed to lowered the cost of their insurance premium by 8%.
