Through its Translogik division, Transense Technologies plc has secured a landmark contract with Logistics UK, one of the country’s largest transport business groups.
Transense Secures Major Contract With Logistics UK to Digitise Vehicle Inspection
With more than 21,000 business members, Logistics UK completes more than 50,000 vehicle inspections annually. Seeking to enhance the efficiency of its inspection services, Logistics UK has partnered with Transense Technologies to develop a bespoke solution.
This new solution allows Logistics UK to offer an industry-leading tyre condition monitoring service to members’ fleets of all types and sizes. It also positions Translogik at the forefront of innovation, supporting the backbone of the UK’s transport sector with cutting-edge technology.
Logistics UK will deploy Translogik TLGX tyre inspection tools and TIRETASK software under an initial three-year contract. These tools have been specially adapted to seamlessly integrate with Vision, Logistics UK’s comprehensive compliance and certification software platform.
The nationwide rollout across a network of more than 65 vehicle inspection experts follows a rigorous development and testing period involving Logistics UK engineers trialling the tyre inspection tools and providing feedback to refine the solution to meet their specific operational needs.
Enhanced Data Collection
The system combines enhanced data collection using mobile tablet computers, a customised TIRETEASK inspection app with cloud-based data storage and Translogik’s tyre inspection tools. It will significantly improve data capture whilst increasing efficiency and saving time. This allows engineers to focus on the critical inspection task by eliminating the administration associated with writing and uploading reports.
Chris Lipscomb, Operations Director at Logistics UK, commented,
“After an extensive trial and close collaboration with Transense, we’re excited to deploy this innovative digital inspection solution. Translogik’s TLGX tools and TIRETASK software will revolutionise our inspection process, offering enhanced efficiency and unparalleled data quality and insight for our members.
“Tyres are critical to efficient fleet operations. Through correct tyre management, our operators will see significant benefits from improved fuel consumption and tyre life and reduced roadside breakdowns and downtime. Increased tyre longevity also reduces waste, which is far better for the environment, too.”
“We believe this rollout will set a new benchmark for value-added content to vehicle inspections. Real-term savings in fuel, tyre and maintenance costs will be able to be evidenced through the innovative software presented in our Vision platform vehicle inspections, combining robust data insights with streamlined operational workflows.”
Ryan Maughan, Managing Director at Transense Technologies, added, “Our contract with Logistics UK represents a significant achievement for Transense and demonstrates the value our solutions bring to the fleet and logistics sectors.
“The partnership highlights the growing importance of digital transformation in the logistics and fleet management industries for vehicle compliance and inspection services. We’re very proud to support Logistics UK in their mission to deliver industry-leading services to their members.”
The Logistics UK contract directly results from Transense’s ongoing partnership with TIRETASK GmbH. Their fleet management software underpins the Translogik TLGX solution. By integrating TIRETASK’s proven technology, Transense has delivered a customised inspection platform tailored to Logistics UK’s needs.
