JCW Taking Steps Towards Elite Fleet Performance

In this day and age, businesses of all types are fully aware of their responsibilities towards their staff, communities and the environment. Every little change we make with this in mind, can literally save lives.

4 years ago we trialled Lightfoot, a driver monitoring system, on the understanding that this clever hardware could improve our drivers performance, save money and reduce emissions. To be honest, we were skeptical!

Initially we agreed to just 12 units in May 2019 and watched with great interest how our drivers would respond and how our business could reap the benefits. Less than a year later we added 105 units and another year later a further 32. That in itself highlights that we could really see some positive difference, in more ways than one!

What is Lightfoot?

Lightfoot provides real-time, intelligent systems that understands the specific vehicle and load. It is like giving every driver a personal driving coach that understands their vehicle and the road, thanks to advanced technology that connects directly to the engine instead of relying on GPS.

This coaching approach transforms driving style in just a few weeks, raising and sustaining performance by communicating reports and results with drivers and engaging them in a wider community, with useful in-app features, regular competitions, incentives and cash prizes to Elite drivers across all businesses using Lightfoot on offer. This delivers major, instant and sustained improvement that can reduce fleet fuel costs, save lives and the planet.

What are the benefits?

We have clearly seen that our staff have become safer and more efficient drivers and are rewarded regularly for their efforts while on the road. Over the last year alone we have saved 10’s of 1,000’s of pounds on the cost of fuel. This has meant that our Co2 has reduced significantly too, by over tonnes every month in fact - the equivalent of making nearly 10 million cups of tea!

Utilising Lightfoot systems alone may not save the planet but every month we can see the positive benefit it brings. Every little really does count.
