The fleet delivers mobile tyre services, including fitting and tyre repairs, to customers.
Karl Baker, operations director at Halfords Mobile Expert, said: “With such a large fleet, it’s critical that our technicians out on the road are driving responsibly and respectably at all times. Webfleet has enabled us to bring all our tracking and driver management tools together into one easy-to-use system.”
The company will be using Webfleet’s OptiDrive driver behaviour functionality to reduce speeding and other unsafe driving events, such as harsh braking or cornering. OptiDrive scores will be used to incentivise and reward safe-driving technicians - and to help those that fall below a set standard to improve, through driver training.
“We are also aiming to cut fuel spend by reducing idling time and to keep a lid on insurance premiums and excesses by sharing demonstrable proof of safer driving with our insurers,” added Baker.
Webfleet’s integrated CAM 50 road and driver-facing cameras are being used to track mobile phone usage and risky driving behaviour, alerting technicians in real time to safeguard them from potential accidents.
