Europa launches LeoCab
Europa Worldwide Group has launched the next stage of its new IT system, Leonardo – bringing the technology into the driver’s cab. According to Europa, Leonardo gives the business in-house control over its systems and improving responsiveness, efficiency, productivity and scalability across its 11 UK sites.
Europa launched the first phase of the project, called “LeoRoad”, last year, and now “LeoCab” extends the technology to its drivers.
LeoCab replaces the old standalone in-cab solution with enhanced collection and delivery information such as individual site operating procedures and navigation technology including real-time traffic monitoring.
IT Director at Europa Richard Litchfield said that LeoCab “will offer enhanced visibility of shipments and tracking thereof for driver, branch and sales respectively”.
Litchfield continued: “Previously we relied on the driver communicating information – especially delays – by phone, but now LeoCab will take on this role in real time.
“The system incorporates vehicle satellite navigation which combined with traffic monitoring and positional updates means Leonardo is able to more accurately estimate the driver’s arrival time at collection and delivery points and feeds this info back in real-time to the transport office.”
LeoCab also allows for real-time signature capture and immediate capture and management of discrepancies as well as a photo capability.
