Fly By Nite has predicted that it will make £100,000 worth of savings over the next three years by adopting a fleet management solution from Webfleet.

Webfleet will flag harsh breaking and speeding, provide risk scores for its drivers and allow for CO2 reporting.

Fly By Nite initially implemented Webfleet’s Electronic Braking Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS) last year, and has now extended the partnership to include tachograph management, CO2 reporting and OptiDrive 360 driver behaviour monitoring.

Driver card and vehicle data is automatically downloaded remotely.

The company has full visibility of driving time, maintenance and rest periods through a customised dashboard.

Webfleet completed the rollout across the 201-vehicle fleet 10 days ahead of schedule.

Luke Price, transport manager at Fly by Nite, said: “Our drivers can be on tour across Europe for months at a time and we’re constantly firefighting issues on the road, from extreme weather to last-minute venue changes.

“But we cannot afford to miss a ferry or arrive late to a show, given the millions at stake.

“Now we can see at-a-glance what breaks a driver has taken, how many working hours remain and whether we need to schedule a rest, book a hotel or deploy extra drivers.

“It’s transformed how quickly we can make decisions and gives us and our drivers total confidence that we’re fully compliant and protected from fines.

“The Webfleet team has been quick to add value and highly accommodating to our needs. We’re getting more data, better functionality, overall fleet/driver compliance and a superior interface.

“It’s definitely one of the best systems on the market.”

Alex Crane-Robinson, regional director for the UK & Ireland at Webfleet, said: “Entertainment logistics is one of the most demanding sectors in road transport.

“Fly By Nite needed total visibility, flexibility and absolute compliance assurance – and they needed it fast. We worked closely with their team to tailor the platform to their operating model, and we’re proud to be supporting a fleet where precision and performance are everything.”
