Key features

Real-time vehicle tracking

Whether your drivers are parked or on the move, get their precise, mapped location with Webfleet. This can help with proof of delivery and allows you to monitor working-time guidelines compliance.

Informative tracking and tracing

Identify where to make savings by tracing previous trips. Our vehicle tracking system accurately records hours worked or hours spent behind the wheel and remembers where each vehicle in your fleet has been for up to 90 days in the past. This feature of the fleet tracking and vehicle tracking system provides an instant overview of vehicle movements, highlighting anomalies and exposing patterns in your business.

The Organisation

Krispy Kreme UK currently operates 46 stores and has a presence in over 400 cabinets with retail partners including Tesco outlets across the country. The company entered the UK market in October 2003 in London and has since opened Hotlight stores in key cities including Manchester, Leeds, Portsmouth, Birmingham and Bristol, all of which include a unique ‘doughnut theatre’ giving lucky customers the ultimate Krispy Kreme experience. Krispy Kreme UK delivers fresh doughnuts daily from the regional Hotlight Stores to coffee bars and kiosks in the local area, including a number of kiosks within Waterloo, Victoria, Paddington and Euston railway stations, targeting commuters travelling to work.

The Challenge

The 11 locations (hubs) produce 200 dozen doughnuts per hour, each location has to deliver to 3 routes, from 3 vehicles, a total of 33 vehicles. Deliveries are made in the early morning in time for the day’s business, and the implication of a late delivery has an obvious impact on sales performance. If the product isn’t on the shelves in the morning, not only would this result in immediate lost sales; it also has an impact on the customer experience.

Krispy Kreme operated a manual system that gave limited visibility as to vehicle positions and scheduled departure and arrive times. A solution was needed to ensure deliveries were on time, but also to provide vital information to production to ensure products were ready for distribution.

The Solution

Following a successful pilot in 3 vehicles in Portsmouth, the company decided to install LINK devices from Webfleet in all 33 vehicles. The LINK tracking unit connects the vehicle to the office so the logistics manager can see vehicle location in real time which provides a permanent data flow for communication and workflow updates between vehicle and office. With real time traffic updates delivery vehicles can avoid traffic and show an accurate time of arrival to the manager in the office.

Krispy Kreme UK Logistics and Webfleet worked closely with ConnectFleet, a systems integrator and member of Webfleet' network of accredited partners, to produce bespoke reporting that enabled the business to tailor the solution to the challenge in hand.

Each vehicle completes three routes per day to specific delivery points; a geofence was created around the individual store addresses, which signals an alert when the van enters or leaves the area marked around the store premises. Each region is aware of status of delivery and if there is a delay the store is informed and operations can resolve any issues.

ConnectFleet developed a snap shot report comparing vehicle progress from the different depots, at 05:40hrs and again at 06:30hrs daily via email to store managers, when deliveries are due to be completed. Reports are visible to all managers and this has resulted in some healthy competition between depots!

Webfleet has brought many benefits to the logistics department at Krispy Kreme says Ben Povey, Logistics Manager. We are now able to deliver a world class service consistently where product is on-time every day, an improvement in delivery targets of 20%.

The round-the-clock monitoring increases the security of the vehicle and the person driving it. Krispy Kreme has developed an ‘out of hours’ alert, sending an alert if the vehicle moves between 14:00hrs and 03:00hrs.

Krispy Kreme is delighted with the performance and commercial improvements and is now considering tackling fuel reduction by monitoring idle time using the Webfleet ecoPLUS. This cost reduction will further increase profitability and allow them to reduce their carbon footprint. Profitability and a green and efficient approach to operations is core to the Krispy Kreme brand.

Webfleet helps Wren Kitchens boost fleet mpg

London, April 18, 2023 — Wren Kitchens has improved its mpg efficiency by nearly eight per cent since installing a fleet management solution combining Webfleet, Bridgestone’s trusted fleet management solution, with Paragon routing and scheduling software.

The Lincolnshire-based retailer now runs Webfleet in 154 trucks delivering kitchen units to customers across the UK, and a further 98 vans servicing the 108 Wren showrooms.

The introduction of a single fleet management platform was a priority for us and Webfleet offered the seamless integration with Paragon that we needed, explained Lee Thompson-Halls, National Fleet Manager at Wren. We can now despatch jobs, confirm ETAs and compare planned versus actual scheduling from the one Webfleet interface.

Accurate fuel consumption data, truck-specific navigation and driver performance insights have led to average fleet fuel economy across vans and trucks increasing from 13 to 14mpg.

Webfleet’s OptiDrive 360, which profiles drivers based on incidents such as harsh braking, sharp cornering or speeding, has also helped the Wren team improve road safety standards, with successful drivers celebrated at the annual Wren driver of the year event.

Our vehicles travel an average of 150 miles a day, so a one per cent mpg improvement quickly adds up to significant bottom line savings, as well as helping us meet our demanding sustainability goals, added Lee.

As many of the vans are used by multiple employees, Webfleet’s Driver ID is proving invaluable in identifying which employees are driving which vehicle - and how much time they spend on the road, on-site or with customers - via individual RFID cards.

To support Wren’s planned transition to electric vans, the company is now using Webfleet’s EV management toolkit to forecast TCO savings by simplifying comparisons between internal combustion vehicle running costs and real-world EV performance. It is also helping them to plan for their charging infrastructure needs by confirming where their vehicles spend most time, their typical mileage and dwell times.

We’ve built our brand on helping customers cut fuel and CO₂, in line with the Bridgestone E8 Commitment, so it’s great to see such a prestigious household name putting its trust in Webfleet to deliver on efficiency, safety and sustainability, added Beverley Wise, Webfleet Regional Director for Bridgestone Mobility Solutions.

Telematics specialists and Webfleet partner MG Fleet advised on both solution and installation. Neil Gittins, Operations Director at MG Fleet, added: As specialists in system integration, we knew we could create a robust and reliable solution to Wren’s needs. Webfleet allowed us to integrate in a highly customer-centric way with Paragon, giving Wren convenience, ease of use and efficiency.

Integrated route planning and telematics helps Axis Europe boost productivity

London, December 13, 2023 - Axis Europe has invested to boost productivity and cut fuel costs across its fleet of 450 vans with a powerful dynamic route planning solution, powered by Webfleet telematics data.

The national construction company specialises in repair, maintenance and refurbishment of properties across housing, commercial and public sectors. Much of its work is for residents, acting as a contractor for clients who are social housing landlords in London and around the UK.

To provide an even better service for clients and increase the efficiency of scheduling appointments and utilising workforce resources, the company has invested in a live data-driven solution which combines telematics from Webfleet with automated route planning and real-time geocoded scheduling from FLS - FAST LEAN SMART.

The self-learning algorithm at the core of the FLS VISITOUR solution continually re-optimises scheduling throughout the day to reflect unforeseen changes, such as traffic, jobs overrunning or staff sickness. The best driver/operative for any given job is calculated in seconds, based not just on proximity, but also on operative skills and certification, SLAs and other efficiency parameters.

This is a key solution to enable the performance of our field force, said Neil Betton, Chief Information Officer at Axis Europe. The integration of FLS and Webfleet brings added value by combining real-time data with live optimisation.

Optimised routing also helps to reduce fuel use and cut CO2 emissions.

There are a possible 3.6 million different route sequences for a single field operative with 10 visits in their shift, explained Simon Spriggs, partnerships manager at FLS.

Add in the complexity of emergency orders, cancellations and sick days and it quickly becomes evident that manual optimisation is time consuming and ineffective. With live Webfleet data showing exact locations, job dispatchers no longer need to manually track and manage their operatives out in the field and the system can optimise more accurately.

The cloud-based SaaS model for FLS VISITOUR eliminates local hosting issues and also integrates with Dynamics CRM for customer service and job management. Axis operates a paperless data trail with digitised workflows using their smartphones.

Webfleet’s integral OptiDrive 360 functionality is used to create monthly risk reports highlighting incidences of speeding and harsh braking and cornering, as well as idling. The data is used to identify training needs and also to reward high performing drivers in the incentivised Axis Europe Driver of the Year awards.

We’ve seen a dramatic drop in speeding, said Axis Europe Fleet Manager Taylor Burman. But our drivers, who sometimes have to work in quite remote areas, also know that they are safer with full visibility of their location at any time.

Risk data is also shared with the company’s insurance company to help keep a lid on premium costs.

This is another strong example of how a collaborative approach with our .connect partners can deliver a ground-breaking, integrated solution that meets customers’ highly bespoke needs, added Beverley Wise, Webfleet Regional Director for Bridgestone Mobility Solutions.

Telematics specialists and Webfleet approved partner AES advised on both solution and installation.
