@Road rebrands as Trimble MRM and grows European sales team

@Road, the leading provider of end to end solutions for mobile resource management (MRM), has rebranded as Trimble Mobile Resource Management (“Trimble MRM”). The new name is a natural development for @Road following its acquisition by Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) in February 2007 and creates a one stop shop for businesses wanting to optimize fleet performance and service delivery. In addition, the move has been accompanied by the continued expansion of the European office with three new appointments to the Ipswich based sales team. 

Trimble MRM combines a wealth of experience and products in GPS tracking, with the backing of a global company. Through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, its easy to use solutions can help meet individual fleet management requirements, reducing operating costs while increasing mobile worker productivity and customer service. Following the acquisition, solutions now encompass a range of flexible options from standard vehicle tracking to those including capabilities like WiFi hotspots and specialised reporting. 

One product already introduced by Trimble into Europe from America is TrimWeb, offering businesses of all sizes simple and effective vehicle tracking from just 71 pence per day, all inclusive. The company is also demonstrating its continued commitment to the end to end management of field resources with the v8 launch of its best in class scheduling product, Taskforce, the first new solution to be offered under the Trimble MRM banner. 

Andrew Yeoman, Managing Director of EMEA, said “I am delighted to announce this re-brand alongside the continued expansion of our European office. The endorsement of the Trimble name, together with our new appointments, gives us a fantastic platform from which to continue to grow, offering the European market the very best in Fleet Management solutions.

“In particular, the combination of @Road and Trimble expertise has already meant that we can now offer something for everyone. Whatever their size, Trimble MRM can help businesses address a variety of issues from reducing fuel consumption to fleet safety and even help them meet health and safety requirements.”

Going Green - Fleet Management

Another major issue for fleet operators is going green. Legislation and individual responsibility mean we all need to become accountable for what we put in to the atmosphere. For those running fleets, vehicle usage means fuel which in turn means CO2 and it is vital that drivers understand the environmental impact of using excessive fuel, as the less fuel consumed, the fewer CO2 emissions.

Green fleets are good for the planet and good for business: running an inefficient fleet can mean additional costs of up to 35% which hits you where it hurts - on the bottom line. Well run fleets can reduce these costs significantly.

Corporate Manslaughter

From 6th April 2008 companies found guilty of causing death due to health and safety negligence can be fined unlimited amounts of money. This new law puts the onus firmly on the employer to ensure they are protecting their employees and the public from any danger they may face from the company's activity. If there was a work related death, the responsibility is shifted on to senior management to prove there was no negligence on the part of them or the company otherwise charges could be brought.

The law only has to prove that a high proportion of the cause of the accident was due to internal procedures and senior managers and directors will be held accountable.

In terms of companies running small or large fleets, it is exceptionally important that drivers and vehicles are the safest they can be and that you comply with Health & Safety legislation.

There are steps you can take to mitigate the risk of a corporate manslaughter claim by taking the safety of your drivers and the public seriously and using preventative measures and constant monitoring to avoid problems.
