Premier Saving GBP 80,000 Per Year Per Vehicle With Masternaut Three X

LEEDS, England, May 30 /PRNewswire/ --     Premier, one of the UK's largest independent waste management companies,
has opted for web-based vehicle tracking from Masternaut Three X to integrate
with its back office software. Eighty vehicles will be kitted out with the
Masternaut solution, which will help eradicate mountains of paper
documentation, enable Premier move to immediate invoicing and save
operational costs through improved routing.

"The improved routing alone will save in the region of GBP 80,000 per
year for each vehicle. For example, we have been able to reduce a 6-vehicle
collection round to 5 vehicles through better route planning and management.
This will allow us to improve our collection performance and also helps with
managing our carbon footprint," says Paul Littlefair, Divisional Director,
Premier Waste.

Using Masternaut, Premier will be able to track all vehicle movements in
real-time with live and historic data for mileage covered and times of
arrival and departure from customers' sites.

"Masternaut will not only help us to get rid of a lot of paperwork it
will provide evidence of when our vehicles were on site. Many of our
customers request copies of signed collection notes and often this
documentation is lost or misplaced by the customer. With the live and
historic information from the system we can immediately answer any queries
from customers and resolve any service or invoice disputes," says Paul
Littlefair.

In addition, Premier is trialling the Masternaut Driver ID Key which
links employees to specific vehicles. This will enable Premier to accurately
track individual drivers offering better visibility of staff for both
operational and Health & Safety purposes.

Masternaut Three X is also developing a PDA-based real-time solution in
conjunction with Premier's specialist back-office waste management software
supplier ISYS. This integrated solution will allocate jobs to the waste
collection operators and capture customer signatures in real time. The
integrated PDA solution will be rolled out within the next two months.

"The ability to capture a customer signature on site will further
streamline our service and will help us to provide our customers with real
time information. As soon as a signature is captured and transmitted back to
our system we will be able to email a copy ticket to the customer to show
that we have collected their waste with the signature as confirmation of the
service being completed as scheduled," concludes Paul Littlefair.
