A five-year, 1m contract has been awarded to Masternaut by Barloworld Handling to provide web-based vehicle tracking for 550 vehicles.

Masternaut is being fitted to Barloworld's entire UK service fleet in order to boost customer service and improve efficiency. With live tracking over the web, despatchers are able to immediately assign the nearest engineer according to skills required and improve planning so that routes and schedules are optimised.

Richard McKenzie, marketing manager of Barloworld, says "Masternaut provides an added edge to achieving unsurpassed levels of service. Only recently this was well illustrated when floods seriously disrupted UK commerce. With live Masternaut tracking and maps on screen, our despatchers were able to guide our engineers around the floods and find the quick route to the next service call."route to the next service call."
