Case Study: Ferns Surfacing Ltd. achieves £160k fuel savings, 95% reduction in speeding and 19% CO2 cut with Webfleet

Ferns Surfacing Ltd. - Customer Case Study

Ferns Surfacing Ltd., a leading reinstatement contractor in Southern England with ~200 staff and a 160-vehicle fleet, faced tight, time-sensitive jobs (around 800 per week) where delays can trigger penalties up to £10,000/day. They also needed accurate CO2 measurement for tenders and better driver-behaviour visibility to reduce risk and insurance exposure. To meet these needs they worked with Webfleet, deploying TomTom LINK and ecoPLUS integrated with the cloud-based WEBFLEET fleet-management system.

Webfleet implemented vehicle tracking, the OptiDrive driver-scoring tool, depot-level incentives and targeted training, giving managers real-time visibility and drivers clear performance benchmarks. Within three months and over a 12-month period Ferns cut speeding events by 95%, driving events by 65%, and CO2 emissions by 19%, while fuel consumption fell 18% (fuel savings of £160,000 p.a.), insurance costs dropped £50,000 p.a., and mpg improved 29%. Webfleet’s solution delivered measurable safety, cost and environmental benefits.
