Telematics is the synergy between telecommunications and information technology to contact, track, and monitor remote assets such as fleet vehicles. Telematics software collects and sends data analytics remotely. To achieve this, sensors and connected telematics devices are installed in vehicles to collect and send data. This vehicle telematics data typically includes information about where the vehicle is, how fast it is going, how fast it is accelerating, how fast it is stopping, how well the engine is working, how much fuel it uses, and other important parameters. The data received is sent to a central system or computer, where it is processed and examined.

Martin Oliver Transport

Martin Oliver Transport, a British transport and logistics company, achieved full fleet compliance within 1 month of implementing MiX solutions and increased visibility over its drivers and vehicles. As a family-owned business, Martin Oliver Transport experienced issues keeping up with the compliance requirements for their fleet.

Martin Oliver Transport’s main goal was to achieve full compliance with reliable tachograph data, having previously experienced system issues with unreliable tachograph data. As failure to meet compliance requirements can have expensive repercussions, utilising MiX solutions helped the business meet ‘driver's hours’ regulations and avoid expensive fines.

"MiX Telematics made the transition from our old tracking and remote downloading system to their telematics solution easy and efficient. The transition didn’t affect the day-to-day running of the business at all. The staff looking after the project couldn’t have been any more helpful."
Michael Oliver, Director at Martin Oliver Transport.

Aside from focusing on compliance, Martin Oliver Transport focused on driver performance and clearer fleet visibility, to ensure safe diving practices are being adhered to and that their vehicles are properly utilised.

Moreover, Martin Oliver Transport’s director, Michael, and his father, Stuart are avid truck racers and are competing in the British Truck Racing Championship. The BTRC is a longstanding MiX partner who has utilised our solutions to achieve safer, accident-free races.
