Case Study: Shred-it achieves 8% business growth and safer, more efficient fleet operations with Trimble Fleet Management

Shred-IT boosts business with Trimble technology

Shred-it, the world's largest mobile secure document shredding company, operates a national U.K. network serving over 17,000 customers with a fleet of about 108 vehicles. Rapid growth exposed gaps in fleet visibility and performance: Shred-it lacked real-time vehicle location, had limited insight into driver behaviour and safety, and couldn’t monitor fuel use or vehicle health to control costs and downtime.

To address this, Shred-it deployed Trimble GeoManager Fleet Management and Driver Safety across its U.K. fleet, gaining real-time tracking, in-vehicle alerts for unsafe driving, diagnostics and fuel-consumption data, and daily productivity audits. The solution improved vehicle utilisation and maintenance planning, reduced accidents and liability, cut fuel waste and downtime, and drove an 8% increase in business efficiency without adding vehicles.
