Air Products’ Masternaut improves routing and worker safety 13/10/2008
 
fleet management software Industrial gases supplier Air Products says it chose Masternaut Three X to supply a “ground-breaking web-based satellite tracking solution for its UK and Ireland cylinder gas business.

Following successful trials of the real-time service, the company has now rolled it out to its delivery fleet and says it is optimising route planning and reducing carbon footprint, while also providing a secure, automatic lone-worker safety system.

“Air Products’ two key objectives are utilisation of the service in order to identify areas for improving our vehicle routing and also ensuring we have a robust, lone worker system that provides maximum safety, eradicating any chance of human error,” says Peter Birdsall, UK transport manager, Packaged Gases, Air Products.

The business uses home grown routing and scheduling software to manage its delivery fleet, he explains, and that now cross-references Masternaut live information to optimise fleet management in real time.

“One of the main benefits this solution offers us is the ability to manage the sequence of orders and let customers know when they can expect their deliveries,” says Birdsall.
