The FTSS fleet are now installed with a state of the art
tracking system designed to ensure strict compliance with the road traffic laws
whilst also meeting our “Green” commitments. It also provides us with the
ability to deploy the nearest vehicle to any emergency or unscheduled incident
involving a domestic, commercial or industrial premise, thus ensuring fastest
possible response to meet the needs of our clients.
The system produces reports detailing, not only the
vehicle’s current location, but also where they have been, whether they have
driven to their destinations utilising the quickest or shortest available
routes, what time they have arrived and left their respective destinations, and
how the vehicle has been driven.
One of the most important and key reasons for deciding to install
the tracking devices was to ensure our strict compliance with, and show our
commitment to ISO 14,001 which we have been working to achieve and maintain.
Areas of reporting cover time idling, excessive braking, excessive
acceleration, speeding, and routes taken to and from their destinations. This
will not only help to reduce fuel and maintenance costs, but also limit the
effect on the environment, and enable us to improve our operations in line with
our commitments through interrogation of the reports provided.
The tracking systems will help to not only reaffirm strict
company policies as existing but also shape driver and company behaviour into
the future.
