Cybit will again be exhibiting at this years SME event with its Fleetstar MRM solution. Fleetstar-MRM is accessed via PDA and integrates with Fleetstar-Online to provide visibility of an engineer’s status, location, and job progress. It enables service companies to examine productivity more critically by matching expected time for jobs with actual progress, and to identify if engineers are running ahead of, or behind, schedule.

John Wisdom, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Cybit:

"Cybit’s Fleetstar-MRM is aimed at the growing number of service and delivery organisations who need to know where their resources are in relation to their jobs and how the business is performing against planned schedules. Not only do such systems meet a business’s compliance requirements, but in most cases deliver substantial productivity gains – which can pay for the system costs many times over.

A recent Cybit study discovered that there was only a 24 per cent correlation between the information a manager has on his fleet and the actual status of the engineer. With real-time job progression and status updates from mobile devices overlaid against actual vehicle movements, fleet operators have ultimate visibility of their workforce and are able to offer a higher standard of customer service – If an engineer is running late, customers can be informed immediately.

For companies with van fleets, Fleetstar-MRM can be used to ensure that your vehicles are solely being used for work purposes. This will not only give you peace for mind in knowing where a driver is, it could also save you over £400 per vehicle, per year, in light of the recent increases in Benefit In Kind taxation for private use of company vans."
