YorkShire Water Selects C-track
South Africa, Gauteng (PRWEB) June 25, 2008 -- The pilot scheme has achieved added visibility and control enabling Yorkshire Water to increase the optimisation of technicians working in the field, including a rise in the number of completed jobs per day by up to 13.5 per cent. Furthermore, there has been a significant reduction in the time it took office-based schedulers to identify a suitable technician, as well as a 30 per cent improvement in emergency response times.
Elsewhere, Yorkshire Water experienced an increase in the miles travelled per litre of fuel, with an average increase of approximately 12.5 per cent. This added fuel efficiency has not only reduced overheads, but also realised substantial environmental benefits. Through the duration of the trial, fuel usage was cut by almost 3,500 litres, with savings in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of more than 9 tonnes.
The bespoke system was also designed to provide added safety and protection to mobile workforce and resources. Each vehicle has been fitted with panic alarms to enable technicians to request assistance. In addition, the access to detailed real-time and historical positional data provides proof of location for insurance claims and aid effective accident analysis. This information will also support vehicle location and recovery in cases of theft.
