Reliance Worldwide eliminates mileage logging burden with telematics

The company, a leading provider of water control systems and plumbing solutions, implemented the technology across its fleet of 26 cars to log all private and business mileage.

Reports are automatically sent to the Administration Manager on a weekly basis, breaking down the total mileage into business and personal, based on agreed cut off times for business related mileage.

Employees use a fuel card to purchase all fuel, both private and personal, and a deduction is made from monthly pay in line with HMRC Fuel Advisory rates for any private mileage recorded. As such the process is HMRC compliant.

As a result of having the technology installed in all 26 vehicles, Reliance Worldwide has managed to reduce insurance premiums across the fleet. 

“Expense and mileage logging is a heavy admin burden on any business, but the data and technology provided by Masternaut has helped us to eliminate that burden for our sales team,” commented Sally Pearson, administration manager, Reliance Worldwide Corporation (UK) Ltd.

“The support provided by the team in Aberford is excellent. We have reduced the company car drivers’ admin workload, eliminating the pain of manually logging their mileage. The reporting process gives total transparency on mileage across the business, giving a far more accurate picture on private mileage. By streamlining the process, we’ve given time back to our employees and saved them from an additional administration headache.”
