Radio Kerry

Radio Kerry is a local radio station broadcasting on five frequencies – 96.2, 96.6, 97.0, 97.2 and 97.6FM – throughout the County of Kerry. The station can also be picked up in part of the surrounding counties of Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Clare, as well as online through radiokerry.ie and via their app.

WHAT WE DO

The challenge/ problem

Though it might seem unusual for a radio station to utilise a fleet management system, Radio Kerry actually had specific requirements for their fleet of 3 vehicles, used by the sales team. Being a small team, the need for managing time and resources wisely is paramount - and here is how SynX helped, in better time and team management, in streamlining sales activity and automating logbooks - helping to keep track of taxable miles.

 

Radio Kerry has a small team which core activity is broadcasting programmes, but the sale of advertising spaces is obviously essential for them . In order to optimise the time and resources dedicated to that, the team at Radio Kerry needed a solution able to detect if some areas of prospecting had not been covered yet, and to suggest how to organise time slots devoted to this task.

With this in mind, time management and efficiency are paramount and the driving needs to be organised wisely, but not only. The company needed a system able to automate the recordkeeping of the driving hours carried out for work and private driving. If carried out manually, this normally becomes quite a demanding task in terms of time needed from the administration department.

Winning the challenge with SynX by Transpoco

The team at Radio Kerry was not familiar with fleet management solutions until they met the team at Transpoco and learned more about SynX. Before implementing the solution, they were not used to work with automated systems and the logbook of private and working driving was not an easy task. “Getting email updates and notifications really helped us organising the work from both the administration point of view and also with sales. It makes our life so much easier!” argues Marie Sweeney, finance manager at Radio Kerry. “The system is not only very easy to use as it saves a lot of time in admin work, but we now have a really valuable sales intelligence tool: it unearths to us new business opportunities that we can explore. We feel we are making a better use of our working time and the small fee we pay is nothing compared to the benefits we get in return. We are saving a lot of time by not having to deal with this manually: this is indeed an added value for us”. Following the successful implementation of SynX Move, Radio Kerry is looking forward to getting started with the SynX Perform fuel module and the paperless Walkaround Checks process to increase savings and efficiencies.

The results

Having gained powerful insights into vehicle location, fuel consumption, driver behaviour and vehicle maintenance, EPS have been able to make quick and efficient decisions about their fleet so that they can drive their business forward.

Through GPS technology, EPS are able to create and customise reports that are useful to their needs, including tracking specific locations, areas, trips and activity areas. Not only this, but they can see where their vehicles are in real time, as well as create routes to optimise trip planning.

Our fuel management software means that EPS knows exactly where every drop of fuel is being used, enabling them to optimise routes, avoid unnecessary detours and reduce mileage. With the system’s fuel card integration, they are also able to verify fuel purchases in real time, eliminating fuel card misuse and fuel theft. As a result, EPS have saved money on fuel, giving them more  resources to grow their business.

Aside from these benefits, EPS have also found it easier to conduct RSA audits. Prior to working with Transpoco, their drivers were  filling in check sheets once a week. If any issues were identified, they often found them difficult to follow through to resolution due to the nature of their company, with offices in several locations across the UK and Ireland. Now their drivers are able to log their  issue through our walkaround app, where supervisors can log in and follow the issue through to resolution. 

But what has made the biggest difference to EPS is the support they have received throughout their partnership with Transpoco.

For any business struggling with similar fleet management  challenges that she did previously, Jennifer at EPS encourages them to “make the switch”. “There is a system out there that works and will give you what you need. If you want the support and the follow up, that’s why you need to move over to Transpoco”.

 

As a media company focusing on the work of their sales team, Radio Kerry enjoys great benefits since the implementation of SynX:

  • Tracking the sales team productivity through a user-friendly tool
  • The potential of a sales intelligence tool disclosing new opportunities
  • Improving global resources management and dedicating working hours to added-value tasks
  • Getting the fleet situation at a glance through the software and the customised email updates
  • Spotless tracking of taxable miles: less issues with tax declaration
  • Significant savings in time dedicated to admin tasks
  • Lower fuel, maintenance, global working time expenses

“Prior to using Transpoco, we were with another company  for a number of years. We moved because of a  combination of issues with the trackers and the support just wasn’t there. The trackers weren’t very reliable. We were constantly chasing up trackers that weren’t working”
