Transense secures contract
with Logistics UK to digitise vehicle inspection
Transense Technologies plc, through
its Translogik division, has secured a landmark contract with
Logistics UK, one of the country's largest business groups
representing the interests of transport companies operating
vehicles that move by road, air, rail or water and those that buy
their services.
With a membership of more than
21,000 businesses, Logistics UK completes more than 50,000 vehicle
inspections per year. Seeking to enhance the efficiency of its
inspection services, Logistics UK has partnered with Transense to
develop a bespoke solution.
This new solution provides Logistics
UK with the ability to offer an industry-leading tyre condition
monitoring service to members' fleets of all types and
sizes.
An initial three-year contract will
see Logistics UK deploy Translogik TLGX tyre inspection tools and
TIRETASK software, which have been specially adapted to seamlessly
integrate with Vision, Logistics UK's comprehensive compliance and
certification software platform.
The nationwide roll-out across a
network of more than 65 vehicle inspection experts follows a
rigorous development and testing period involving multiple
Logistics UK engineers trialling the tyre inspection tools and
providing feedback to refine the solution to meet their specific
operational needs.
The system combines enhanced data
collection using mobile tablet computers, a customised TIRETASK
inspection app with cloud-based data storage alongside Translogik's
tyre inspection tools. It will significantly improve data capture
whilst increasing efficiency and saving time, allowing engineers to
focus on the critical inspection task by eliminating the
administration associated with writing and uploading
reports.
Chris Lipscomb, Operations Director at Logistics UK,
commented:
"After an extensive trial and close collaboration with
Transense, we're excited to deploy this innovative digital
inspection solution. Translogik's TLGX tools and TIRETASK software
will revolutionise our inspection process, offering enhanced
efficiency and unparalleled data quality and insight for our
members.
"Tyres are critical to the efficient fleet operations. Through
correct tyre management, our operators will see significant
benefits from improved fuel consumption and tyre life to a
reduction in roadside breakdowns and downtime. Increased tyre
longevity reduces waste which is far better for the environment
too.
"We believe this rollout will set a new benchmark for value
added content to vehicle inspections. Real terms savings in fuel,
tyre and maintenance costs will be able to be evidenced through the
innovative software presented in our Vision platform vehicle
inspections, combining robust data insights with streamlined
operational workflows."
Ryan Maughan, Managing Director at Transense Technologies,
added:
"Our contract with Logistics UK represents a significant
achievement for Transense and demonstrates the value our solutions
bring to the fleet and logistics sectors.
"The partnership highlights the growing importance of digital
transformation in the logistics and fleet management industries for
vehicle compliance and inspection services. We're very proud to
support Logistics UK in their mission to deliver industry-leading
services to their members."
"The Logistics UK contract, which was recently referenced in
the trading update of 22 January 2025 and the interim results
announcements of 18 February 2025 as being well advanced, is a
direct result of Transense's ongoing partnership with TIRETASK
GmbH, whose cutting-edge fleet management software underpins the
Translogik TLGX solution. By integrating TIRETASK's proven
technology, Transense has delivered a customised inspection
platform tailored to Logistics UK's needs, demonstrating the
strength and adaptability of their collaboration in driving digital
transformation for the commercial vehicle fleet industry. The
rollout of the system to the Logistics UK team will take several
months as part of a wider information systems upgrade project in
their business, as such although strategically significant, the
contract is not expected to have a material impact on earnings this
financial year."
