Yorkshire-based operator Dave Kirby Couriers has implemented vehicle tracking and telematics software from Kinesis, citing functionality and value for money.
The operator offers premier express and same-day services, transporting goods ranging from passports to delicate antique paintings across the UK and Europe. The business needed a system to track its fleet, but it says Kinesis – part of UK Fuels – is delivering “so much more”. The technology provides location updates every 30 seconds on a single, user-friendly map screen for its mixed fleet of cars, vans, rigids and artics.Other key features include driver performance data – speeding, harsh braking and accelerating and idling – integrated fuel cards and vehicle tracking, with accurate time of arrival information now possible which, in turn, is boosting customer service levels.“There are other systems out there, but Kinesis offers value for money and more functionality than other solutions – which is why we picked it and why we’ll stay with it,” says Andrew Dennis, account director.
