Information to manage damage
March 1st 2010 iForce is a specialist provider of efulfilment,
reverse logistics and direct
marketing services operates a mixed
fleet of leased Toyota counter balanced
and reach trucks at its Redditch site. It
required a card-based vehicle access
control system in order to identify
health and safety issues and operators
responsible for damage to trucks,
racking and so on.Working closely
with the supplying OEM, Davis Derby
equipped every vehicle in the fleet with
the TruckLOG Fleet Management
Information System (FMIS) complete
with the Shock sensor and Shock
lockout modules. Driver access is
controlled via Smart cards.
iForce reports that, thanks to the
TruckLOG FMIS and associated
modules, they are now able to
identify, report and follow up any
actions against poor driving. Driver
access is restricted to trained and
authorised operatives and works well
alongside the in-house driver training
programme.Managers also print the
damage reports and display them on
the company notice board to keep all
staff informed of the progress being
made on damage reduction.
"The FMIS, shock modules and
Smart card system work extremely
well together. As an integrated
system designed around our needs,
TruckLOG has, via the management
reporting and information, together
with ongoing driver assessments
helped to manage our problems in
terms of driver access control and
vehicle and racking damage-related
costs," said Paul Davies, facilities
manager, iForce. More articles from Davis Derby Limited: |
