Blackburn based CM Oxendale Ltd are a long term vehicle tracking customer of Jets GPS Director Jan Evans. A well-established mechanical and plumbing company, CM Oxendale Ltd run a fleet of vans covering the North West of England, providing a combination of services to housing, Local Authorities, offices, hospitals, retail, leisure and factories.

When we first provided vehicle tracking to them many years ago it was used for time sheet verification and to check and confirm engineer site times. As the technology provided has evolved and upgraded it is now used for much more, all of which is used to save CM Oxendale Ltd money on the running costs of the business and provide excellent customer service.

The reporting suite provides detail of any vehicle out of hours' use which the company use to charge staff for non-business use to comply with HMRC guidelines. Any harsh driving behaviour, such as speeding over 10% of the road being travelled on, harsh braking and harsh acceleration are recorded and dealt with internally.

This same data has been used when vehicles have been involved in accidents and the blame allocated to their staff for driving too fast. The data was sent to the insurers which proved exactly how the vehicle was being driven leading up to and at the time of the accident resulting in the claimant revising their statement and admitting blame, protecting the company insurance record and their drivers.

The same data is used to substantiate any calls regarding how vans are driven, with most proving to be inaccurate.

The live Google traffic is used to advise any customers if vans are held up in traffic on route to a job and reactive jobs are allocated most efficiently using the nearest to postcode functionality.

Managing Director, Colin Oxendale said “Jan has provided our vehicle tracking for years and the technology keeps evolving giving us more functionality we can use to the benefit of our business, keep our fleet and overtime costs down whilst giving excellent service to our customers and meeting our legal obligations. I would not hesitate to recommend Jets GPS and the solutions they provide to any business.”
