Lightfoot was introduced to Acorn Mobility in 2019, and after trialling and deploying our revolutionary fleet management technology across its fleet of over 170 LCVs, the company hasn’t looked back.

Acorn had been using a fleet telematics system prior to Lightfoot, but found that the results never lived up to what was promised. Like many fleet management solutions, it only offered retrospective driver coaching, meaning any incidents of harsh or dangerous driving would have occurred long before the driver received feedback. This made any changes to driver behaviour slow and unreliable, as there were no prompts or incentives to break the habits of a lifetime.

By delivering a driver training solution with a difference, Lightfoot has been able to transform the Acorn fleet over the last few years. Instead of producing more work for fleet managers by providing retroactive driving data and thereby creating the need for awkward conversations and punitive measures, Lightfoot offers a radical new approach. Instead, drivers receive real-time feedback from the in-cab device, allowing them to adjust their driving in the moment, correct risky behaviours, and have a safer, more efficient style of driving become second nature. This prevents incidents from ever occurring and gives drivers the opportunity to become self-managing, with the Lightfoot Driver App rewarding the improvements in driving performance through weekly competitions, prize giveaways, leader boards, and exclusive discounts.
