Microlise Fleet Performance has helped to deliver a large degree of control for the business which has in turn resulted in a financial benefit.\r\n\r\nThe Fleet Performance product has also helped to engage drivers. They\u2019ll now often contact the transport office to find out how well they are doing and whether they are on course to achieve their performance targets. Following the implementation the fleet has reduced accident rates, in turn reducing insurance costs. Dedication has resulted in the team achieving success in the Microlise Driver of the Year awards for two years running.\r\n\r\nAngela Martin, John Mitchell Administration Supervisor: \u201cIt\u2019s a very straight forward system to use.
