Ferryspeed introduced Webfleet to enhance its ability to track and manage its fleet of more than 600 vehicles and trailers.

Since its introduction three years ago, insights from Webfleet have supported the company’s procurement strategy, allowing Ferryspeed to make data-driven decisions on trailer replacements.

The platform’s trailer management solution is said to have also led to a 20% improvement in trailer utilisation.

“Webfleet's ability to track and optimise trailer usage was a pivotal factor in our decision to implement the solution,” said Nick Green, group executive director at Ferryspeed. “With real-time visibility of all our assets, our operations have never been simpler or more efficient.

“We can now procure trailers that precisely meet our needs, resulting in substantial cost savings. Webfleet has even enabled us to design multi-purpose trailers by accurately identifying the specific nature of our trips, reducing the overall number of trailers required.

“This strategic approach has streamlined our fleet management processes, ensuring the right trailer is always deployed for the right job, boosting overall productivity.”

In addition, Ferryspeed is said to have made fuel savings and reduced incidents of idling by monitoring driver behaviour with Webfleet OptiDrive 360.

“These significant advancements underscore our company-wide commitment to operational excellence, superior customer service and sustainability,” Green concluded.
