 Ballyclare Freight Services is a general haulage company, with a fleet of 29 articulated vehicles.
Established for over 23 years, BFS now operates throughout GB, Ireland and Intercontinental markets. In addition to the head office in Ballyclare, a sales office has been established in Grangemouth, Scotland.  The company recognised that significant losses could be avoided with a greater emphasis on accountability, and improved management of driver productivity and employee overtime. This motivated BFS to consider a fleet management system. A variety of reasons led BFS to select LEOCATE.
Garry Cairns, Transport Manager explains:We realised very quickly that LEOCATE offered much more than vehicle location, and would be an excellent fleet management tool. The ‘Vehicle Idling’ reports have reduced fuel wastage, resulting in significantly reduced costs, and eliminating unnecessary pollution. LEOCATE provides a menu of Enhanced Reports, including Actual Hours Worked and Driver Behaviour. Use of this feature alone has helped us to increase driver productivity and reduce our overtime wage bill.  Results of using LEOCATE:
- Increased driver productivity
- Hours’ management resulting in reduced overtime wage bills
- Reduction in idle time and fuel wastage - less pollution
- Fixed monthly cost - no international roaming charges with LEOCATE
