Challenges: Drowning in Data, Starved for Insights

Hendrick European, a leading international logistics provider with a fleet of 350 assets. Their reliance on paper-based processes to manage compliance, asset management, and maintenance created a time-consuming black hole for their team.

Solution: Tranzaura platform leads to efficient and more informed workshop Tranzaura’s digital transformation platform enabled data and insights to transform their operations:

• Real-time Visibility: Tranzaura replaced paper with a suite of digital tools, including a digital tachograph and daily inspection app. This provided Hendrick European with immediate access to critical fleet data, empowering them to make more informed decisions.
• Actionable Insights: Tranzaura’s platform consolidated data from across their operations, offering a holistic view of fleet performance. This allowed them to identify trends, predict potential issues, and optimise maintenance schedules, thus improving workshop and driver productivity and efficiency.
• Streamlined Workflows: Tranzaura’s digital tools, accessible via phones and tablets for drivers and engineers, streamlined workflows. Workshop management functions, parts inventory management, and incident reporting all reside within a single, centralised platform.

Benefits: Efficient and Productive Workflows

Tranzaura’s digital approach transformed Hendrick European’s operations by eliminating paper-based tasks and automating workflows. Here’s a breakdown of the time saved:

• 40 Hours per Month Saved: Previously, the Fleet Maintenance Manager spent a significant portion of their time chasing and scanning paperwork from mechanics. Tranzaura’s platform eliminated this task, freeing up 40 hours per month for more strategic activities.
• 30 Hours per Month Saved Resulting in Increased Inspections: Three mechanics no longer waste time waiting for job allocation each morning. Tranzaura’s digital planning system streamlines job scheduling, resulting in 30 hours saved per month. Additionally, improved task tracking has identified opportunities for 20 additional inspections per month, saving Hendrick European an estimated €2,000 monthly.
• Increased Engineer & Mechanic Productivity: By tracking time spent on tasks, Tranzaura identified opportunities to improve engineer and mechanic productivity. This resulted in an additional 40 hours saved per month compared to the paper-based system.

Hendrick European’s investment in Tranzaura has yielded significant, measurable outcomes:

• Increased Productivity: A combination of streamlined workflows, digital job allocation, and improved task tracking has resulted in a combined 70 hours of monthly time savings for mechanics, engineers, and the workshop manager.
• Enhanced Safety & Compliance: Real-time data ensures Hendrick European’s fleet adheres to the latest regulations, reducing risk and downtime.
• Cost Savings: Saved hours translate into significant annual cost reductions.
• Improved Visibility: All asset details are stored on the platform and accessible at any time, simplifying cross-border operations.
• Roadside PMI Inspections Keep Revenue Flowing: Tranzaura’s mobile capabilities allowed PMIs to be completed roadside, keeping the fleet operational and generating revenue.

Hendrick European’s story is a testament to the power of data-driven fleet management. Tranzaura empowers businesses to leverage intelligence and analytics, transforming data into actionable insights.

Derrick Doyle, Compliance and Maintenance Manager of Hendrick European says ‘I am pleased someone has finally cracked a system like this for the transport industry.’
