Masternaut has announced it is helping local authorities reduce costs to meet the government's 25% budget cuts.
 Using the company's vehicle tracking and mobile resource management solutions, councils are already saving money on vehicle purchase and leasing as well as running costs and administration. Masternaut also claims the authorities are making better use of existing fleet and human resources and delivering higher levels of service.
"We are very pleased with the results we are getting from the Masternaut system," John Proud, street scene manager, Hambleton and Richmondshire District Councils. "It has given us visibility of our fleets across the two districts [Hambleton and Richmondshire]. We know precisely where our vehicles are at any time and where they have been thanks to its automatic reporting features."
Mark Hurst, street scene officer, Crawley Borough Council agrees with his counterpart from Hambleton and Richmondshire. "The Masternaut system gives us a live view of our fleet activities. It has improved our productivity through better use of our resources and this has saved money on fuel usage - our annual mileage per vehicle has dropped to an average of 5200 miles from about 6000 miles, consequently this saves the Council around 11 per cent per vehicle."
Masternaut is also helping to reduce the cost of third party claims against Councils and improve the safety and security of lone workers. The system has Thatcham Category 5 approval and actively prevents theft of expensive equipment and vehicles and makes recovery easy. Using Masternaut, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council quickly located a stolen ride-on mower.
