Enhanced Fleet Management Across 266 Vehicles

TOMMY TRINDER OPENLY SHARES KPIS ON NEWLY UNVEILED WEBSITE

Eurocell has partnered with Trakm8 , a leading telematics and data insight provider , to optimise its fleet operations . Trakm8 has plans to equip 266 Eurocell vehicles with its cutting-edge C430 telematics devices , all seamlessly integrated into the Trakm8 Insight platform , providing a comprehensive 360-degree view of their fleet .
The partnership will help Eurocell achieve several key objectives : increasing and optimising vehicle utilisation , improving safety standards across the fleet , and enhancing driver behaviour to ensure greater efficiency and security . Additionally , with insurance costs on the rise , better risk management was a crucial factor in the decision-making
process , as was the drive to reduce CO2 emissions as part of Eurocell ’ s commitment to environmental responsibility . Finally , the use of Trakm8 ’ s C430 telematics devices will also help to reduce fuel costs by addressing inefficiencies such as excessive idling . Ian Philpott , Procurement Manager at Eurocell , said : “ The ability to monitor everything in one place was invaluable , and the results from the trial period convinced us that Trakm8 ’ s telematics and Insight platform were the right choice .”

Software pioneer , Tommy Trinder , has taken the unusual step of openly sharing sensitive key metrics that allow visitors to track the company ’ s performance and growth on their newly updated trade website .
The new site , launched to mark the firm ’ s 10th anniversary , represents a significant enhancement designed not only to improve user experience but also to promote transparency by sharing sensitive Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) with the industry .
Visitors are provided with easy access to valuable insights into the company ’ s metrics , including the number of window firms using Tommy for their quoting ( updated daily ), together with the value
and volume of quotes done on the platform by installers every month .
“ We believe our numbers tell a powerful story of how our industry is changing ,” says Tommy Trinder ’ s founder and CEO Chris Brunsdon . “ From one man-bands to nationals and from the highlands to the channel islands , glazing firms are going digital with their selling process . By openly sharing our data with the trade , we are hoping to bring attention to the scale of the shift that is taking place .”
Some of the numbers published on Tommy Trinder ’ s new website are indeed striking . At the time of writing the website is suggesting that some 30,000 quotes are prepared for homeowners via the Tommy
platform every month , at a value of ( a somewhat eye-watering ) £ 219 million .
“ Even we find the numbers a bit nuts ,” says Chris “ It ’ s remarkable that in two years , we ’ ve seen the values quoted by installers on Tommy go from under £ 100 million a month to over £ 200 million a month . Interested parties can now literally ‘ watch this space ’ to see how quickly that increases to £ 300 million per month !”
Another big number tracked on the site is the volume of makeovers
prepared by installers ; currently sitting at just under 5,000 per month and trending upwards .
“ The makeover tool , where installers provide a mock-up to the homeowner of their new windows in situ , is definitely becoming a staple part of the quoting process ,” says Chris . “ When you consider the ease with which consumers are able to model other significant purchases like cars or kitchens , it feels inevitable that offering the client a visual of windows and doors will become the norm . Customers love being able to ‘ try before they buy .’”
