Sample engagement
The thirty-truck haulier that cut empty-running by twelve points.
Thirty trucks. UK + EU groupage. Empty-running running at eighteen percent and nobody could explain why.
A thirty-truck haulier ran UK and EU groupage with empty-running stuck at 18% — the planner knew it was bad, the owner couldn't see it weekly, and backloads went un-quoted because the system didn't show available capacity. Three-week build: Mandata-fed planning board with backload optimisation, CDS-aware customs paperwork, fuel-card-to-route reconciliation. Six months in: empty-running 18% to 6%, fuel cost down forty-four thousand pounds annualised, two driver tacho infringements caught and fixed before DVSA flagged them.
How we measure: Empty-running calculated as empty miles / total miles, weekly rolling, baseline 12 weeks before go-live; fuel cost annualised from per-truck per-mile pence cost vs prior baseline; tacho infringements counted from the auto-download log.
