A company with a fleet of 55 service vehicles is currently running their unmonitored team of engineers at three jobs per day = 21 per week on average, per engineer. Engineers are given their job sheets the previous day by fax or collection from the office. By implementing Service Link the company can eliminate the paperwork by issuing jobs electronically, tracking monitors the actual activity of the vehicle, arrives, departs and locations, and the company can now book a minimum of one extra job per engineer per week.
| Cost of implementing Service Link in year 1 | = | £52,800 |
| Increased profit in first year on extra jobs (based on £100 per job) | = | £258,500 |
| Return on Investment achieved in 2 ½ months | ||
| Overall Annual profit gain | = | £205,700 |
It costs £1 per mile to run a typical "LGV", excluding staff costs.
As a result of installing Service Link system, driver behaviour will modify - reducing unnecessary journeys and wasted mileage. Assuming a reduction of just 10 miles per vehicle per day, savings are shown below.
| Cost saving of 10 miles per day X 25 vehicles X 22 days | = | £5,500 | per month (ongoing) |
| Minus cost of implementing Service Link | = | - £2,000 | per month |
| Savings per month | = | £3,500 | per month |
| Return on Investment of 175%. | |||
| Total cost savings for the first year | = | £42,000 | in mileage alone |
