Bunzl signs up for GreenRoad through Marsh

GreenRoad has announced that it has recently deployed its service to Bunzl, through its relationship with Marsh.

Using GreenRoad’s service, Bunzl healthcare has seen its driver risk drop 63%; its crash rate reduced by 89%; and fuel consumption dropped by 6% since February 2010. With these figures Bunzl calculates a return on investment of just three months.

Based on the results in its healthcare division, GreenRoad is now being rolled out to LCVs and HGVs in Bunzl’s retail, catering supplies and Greenham divisions.
 

“We are impressed by the reduction in accidents since GreenRoad’s service went live. During the first three months we did not have a single accident,” said Mark Moore, group transport manager at Bunzl Healthcare.

“We calculate that GreenRoad’s service started delivering an ROI after just three months and that’s not counting long-term benefits such as a reduction in wear and tear and the renewed drivers’ pride in their vehicles including washing them every day. This minor investment is paying dividends.”

GreenRoad 360 is also changing the relationship between depot managers and the drivers.

“Thanks to the information available through GreenRoad depot managers are engaging more closely with drivers,” said Moore. “An improved understanding of what is happening out on the road means safety is top of the agenda.”

Another Marsh client, Securitas Mobile has deployed GreenRoad 360+ across its new fleet of Peugeot 207 cars in 2010.

GreenRoad 360+ is an integrated solution that addresses mobile resource management, safety and driving behaviour in a single platform.

Securitas Mobile says it saw a 61% drop in risk immediately and this has improved to a steady 72%. At the same time it has halved the number of accidents compared to 2009.

Marsh aims to help its clients reduce their accident claims rate and reduce insurance premiums. It is also gaining new intelligence about risk and safety levels leading to more effective risk management strategies.

“With GreenRoad’s service we now have visibility down to the driver and vehicle level on an ongoing basis enabling us to continuously assess the ongoing risk. This helps us further understand clients’ insurance needs and respond with tailored solutions that reflect the reduced risk,” said Wendy Chalkley, Motor Placement, Marsh.
