Connected Navigation technology provides more control to logistics company

Better control over their fleet, improved traceability of consignments, faster and safer communication with drivers, and higher levels of customer service are amongst the benefits to a leading South Wales logistics company following the introduction of a connected navigation system from TomTom WORK.

Following an analysis of available systems Freight Movement Limited chose the Tom- Tom WORK Connected Navigation system based on their TomTom WEBFLEET software. Each of their 35 vehicles is fitted with a TomTom LINK 300 tracking device and a TomTom GO navigation and communication unit. Through TomTom WEBFLEET these keep the traffic office informed in real-time of the location of each vehicle and enable messages to be passed through the TomTom GO unit, which is both Bluetooth enabled and uses touch-screen technology for instant and safe two-way messaging.

"This system is proving to be a very useful management tool," says managing director Paul Hurley. "It's enabling us to keep our customers better informed, which is raising customer satisfaction levels and this must help us to retain our customers. We are also using the fact that we have this capability as a key selling point when preparing our business case to win new contracts.
