Reduce Fuel Costs with RAM Tracking

A John Mills Ltd Case Study

Founded in 1986 by John Mills, JML has evolved into a household name with global operations. As one of the nation's favourite brands, JML offers diverse products available on high streets and major retailers throughout the UK and Ireland.

Implementation Overview

In March 2009, RAM trackers were installed across JML's fleet of 128 vehicles, ranging from BMW 6 series to Citroen Dispatches. Fleet Manager Judith Fahey shares her experience with the system and the significant benefits realised.

Decision Drivers

Several factors led JML to implement vehicle tracking: vehicle theft incidents (including one unrecovered vehicle), concerns about driver speeding, the need to monitor fuel consumption, and the desire to track private usage.

Immediate Results

"We saw an immediate 15% reduction in fuel expenditure"

JML installed RAM Tracking across their entire fleet to maximize benefits from day one. The significant drop in fuel costs delivered substantial savings across their large fleet.

Valuable Reporting Capabilities

"We love the RAM Tracking reporting functions"

The team particularly values the system's reporting features, which provide comprehensive visibility of team activities. Managers can monitor idle time, track stop durations, verify breaks, confirm home visits, and analyse driving patterns.

These insights help JML:

• Address excessive speeding
• Reduce unnecessary idling
• Minimise operational costs
• Support environmental initiatives.

Transformational Impact

"I don't know how we coped before installing RAM"

Reflecting on life before vehicle tracking, Judith considers it essential for any fleet operation. She commends RAM's service quality, understanding of JML's operations, and gives them a five-star rating.

"My advice to companies with a fleet of vehicles is that you have to be tracked.
