UK snack manufacturer Tayto has partnered with 1692 TomTom, supported by official TomTom partner Fleet Simplicity, to deploy Link tracking units and ecoPlus fuel management and diagnostics devices across its 117-strong vehicle fleet.  This combined tracking, performance monitoring and fuel management system provides improved visibility and insights into its mobile teams of sales, management and distribution professionals.
 
The system enables information on how vehicles are being driven, from speeding and idling to harsh braking and steering, to be collated via TomTom’s Webfleet management software in a live information dashboard or in a customisable report.  It also provides live information on the location of the entire fleet.
 
In addition, ecoPlus takes fuel consumption data directly from vehicle engine management systems to help optimise miles per gallon.
 
The TomTom system has also been integrated with Tayto’s Agnew fleet manager software to further simplify online fleet maintenance, administration and tax compliance for its leased vehicles.
 
“By giving us the tools to monitor and improve driving performance, the TomTom solution offers us enormous potential to improve the safety of our mobile workforce while at the same time reducing our fuel consumption,” said Peter Rush, Tayto Group’s purchasing manager.  “Having instant access to a wealth of real time data and management reporting information will prove extremely valuable and further strengthens the commitment we have to our safety and environmental programmes.”
