Ferryspeed saves more than £250,000 in trailer costs with Webfleet

London, July 18, 2024 – Ferryspeed has announced savings of more than £250,000 in trailer procurement by optimising operations with Webfleet, Bridgestone’s globally trusted fleet management solution.

The freight shipping specialist, which provides storage and next-day deliveries to and from the Channel Islands, introduced Webfleet to enhance its ability to track and manage its fleet of more than 600 vehicles and trailers.

Since its introduction three years ago, insights from Webfleet have been instrumental in the company’s procurement strategy, allowing Ferryspeed to make data-driven decisions on trailer replacements.

The platform’s dedicated trailer management solution has also led to a 20% improvement in trailer utilisation.

Webfleet's ability to track and optimise trailer usage was a pivotal factor in our decision to implement the solution, said Nick Green, Group Executive Director at Ferryspeed. With real-time visibility of all our assets, our operations have never been simpler or more efficient.

We can now procure trailers that precisely meet our needs, resulting in substantial cost savings. Webfleet has even enabled us to design multi-purpose trailers by accurately identifying the specific nature of our trips, reducing the overall number of trailers required.

This strategic approach has streamlined our fleet management processes, ensuring the right trailer is always deployed for the right job, boosting overall productivity.

In addition, Ferryspeed has made considerable fuel savings and reduced incidents of idling by monitoring driver behaviour with Webfleet OptiDrive 360. This has contributed to more efficient and eco-friendly operations.

These significant advancements underscore our company-wide commitment to operational excellence, superior customer service and sustainability, Green concluded.
