Nviro is a long-established commercial cleaning company, providing cleaning and hygiene services to public sector organisations including those in education, local government, and social housing. Offering everything from routine to specialist sanitation services, Nviro’s workforce can be tasked with bringing a range of cleaning equipment to every job, from electrostatic spraying technology to robotic vacuum cleaners.
It's this that makes Nviro’s fleet of vans so critical to the success of the business. With a lot of ground to cover in between the varied job sites, Nviro’s commercial vehicles are there to get employees where they need to go with all the specialist gear on board, ensuring an efficient and professional service every time. Therefore, with driving making up an important part of the job, it was crucial that Nviro’s team were driving as safely and efficiently as possible.
Building a better brand
Nviro came to Lightfoot looking for a fleet management solution that would help it put its drivers first. The company wanted to look after its team and make sure that road safety was a priority across the whole fleet. As every employee drives a liveried vehicle, this would also help Nviro bolster its brand reputation across the local areas in which it works, as other road users would not be at risk of associating the company with aggressive or dangerous driving.
Learning to drive with Lightfoot in the vans did take some adjustment initially for the Nviro team, as they had only driven with telematics trackers previously. But now, the fleet is used to Lightfoot’s real-time in-cab coaching technology, and is reaping the rewards of driving responsibly.
In fact, Nviro’s people-oriented approach to van fleet management has meant that it’s benefitted from improvements in all the major areas of its fleet operations. By giving drivers an incentive in the form of Lightfoot’s driver rewards platform, Nviro have seen an 84% drop in incidents of dangerous driving, a 7.7% increase in MPG, and an average yearly saving of 13 tonnes of carbon emissions.
Jas Ram, Regional Director of Circle Insurance Services, introduced Nviro to Lightfoot to help the company achieve its road safety goals. Here's what he had to say on the results so far:
"We recommend Lightfoot to our clients as it's a risk management solution that's proven to reduce accidents, improve CO2 emissions, and lower fuel costs.
Fleet risk management is important for businesses to help mitigate potential hazards and improve driver engagement, and working with Lightfoot and Nviro we are certainly already seeing evidence of this."
Lessening the sting of rising expenses
The rollout of the Lightfoot fleet management system in Nviro’s vehicles began in early 2022, just as record-breaking prices were starting to be seen at fuel pumps up and down the country.
At a time when budgets were already being stretched every which way by rising inflation costs, the ongoing energy crisis, and soaring insurance premiums, the addition of spiralling fuel expenses presented an enormous challenge to fleets. But thanks to Lightfoot’s fuel-saving solution, this simply wasn’t the case for Nviro.
By encouraging the cleaning company’s drivers to avoid inefficient habits such as harsh acceleration and sharp braking, Lightfoot has been able to save Nviro enough fuel every month that the fleet didn’t notice the rise in pump prices, with its monthly fuel bills barely increasing despite skyrocketing petrol and diesel costs.
Here’s what David Le Gresley, Asset & Supplier Manager at Nviro, had to say about the experience of working with Lightfoot so far:
“From day one, the support offered by Lightfoot has been exemplary. The fitters who carried out the installation were hugely professional – they were punctual and tidy, there was no mess left in the vans and everything was up and running as quickly as possible. And from then on it’s continued to be excellent – we have our main point of contact who we can always get in touch with if we need help with anything. As for the Lightfoot system, it does exactly what it says on the tin. We saw an instant improvement in MPG and CO2 emissions, which protected us from the rising fuel prices. I’ve already recommended it to other fleets.”
