Framptons drives efficiency with telematics upgrade 07 February 2014

West Country logistics operator Framptons Transport Services has awarded a five-year contract to Ctrack to upgrade its telematics solution, deployed across the 66-strong fleet.

The upgrade to Ctrack Online will include CANbus integration and enable Framptons to monitor driver performance.

It will also include tracking of collections and deliveries, undertaken as part of the Shepton Mallet-based company's Palletline and Hazchem operations.

The web-based system will be integrated with each vehicle's CANbus system to access driver behaviour and engine management data.

Richard Fry, Framptons' deputy managing director, explains that each vehicle will be fitted with Ctrack's Driver ID tool, so that the firm can separate driver and vehicle data to better understand the driving style, location and actions of employees, whichever vehicle they are driving.

"After trialling three options, we feel that Ctrack Online provides a solution that combines ease of use with added functionality and an advanced reporting package," says Fry.

"We will gain greater insight into the performance of our drivers and vehicles to target efficiency savings and other operational improvements."
