Telematics delivers premium performance for Breyer with £60,000 saving09 February 2015

Building contractor Breyer Group has cut its insurance premium by £60,000 in the first year since installing fleet and driver performance technology from TomTom Telematics.

The Romford, Essex-based operator has made the savings across its 200-strong fleet by using driver behaviour monitoring tools to underpin a three-year risk management programme with insurer HDI-Gerling.

Using TomTom's Webfleet fleet management platform, Breyer is monitoring and profiling the performance of its van and car drivers, with data analysed on incidents such as speeding, harsh braking, steering and acceleration.

In addition, Breyer collects fuel efficiency information from the onboard diagnostics device. This combines with the risk management data to score drivers out of 10 in an Optidrive indicator, so training can be targeted.

"By meeting targets to reduce the frequency and severity of motor claims in the last 12 months, we have benefited from a 20% premium reduction," says Breyer's finance manager Nigel Wood. "We'll benefit from further savings again next year if we continue to hit our performance targets."

He adds: "By having the tools to monitor and encourage our employees to drive more carefully, we are also successfully reducing our fuel spend, CO2 emissions, improving driver safety and our duty of care to our workforce."
