From limited visibility to full fleet control: how JAO Groundworks strengthened safety and accountability

A success story from JAO Groundworks shows how combining vehicle tracking with fuel data and simple reporting can improve driver behaviour, reduce unnecessary usage and strengthen fleet oversight.

Operating a fleet of around 45 vehicles, mainly Transit vans, the business was growing quickly but lacked full visibility. More than 75% of vehicles were not being tracked, making it difficult to monitor usage, investigate incidents or demonstrate control to insurers.

The solution was a data-led approach using Radius tracking and fuel card integration, supported by structured weekly reporting.

The results highlight the impact of consistent visibility and clear processes:

– Reduction in out-of-hours vehicle use
– Lower idling levels, cutting fuel waste and wear
– Improved driver behaviour through targeted intervention
– Faster maintenance coordination with fewer internal calls
– Clear evidence to resolve complaints and protect drivers

By linking fuel card usage to vehicle location, JAO can now identify anomalies and monitor fuel consumption more accurately. Weekly reports focused on driver behaviour, idling and out-of-hours use give managers a simple way to track performance and address issues early.

Tracking data has also improved how incidents are handled. In one case, location data confirmed a vehicle was not present at the scene of a reported issue, helping resolve the situation quickly and fairly.

As the fleet continues to expand, these systems provide a scalable way to maintain control, support compliance and manage risk without adding complexity. Find out more about Radius Fleet Solutions, which is a FleetWise Trusted Brand, here.
