Managing Director of Courier Express Mr John Lee says, “Our requirement for a highly dependable tracking system was just the beginning, analysis of our customer feedback was quite clear. Customers want to have as many guarantees as possible when it comes to ensuring maximum product integrity. John adds “On any one day we as a company can carry hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of products that rely on defined temperature parameters, what we need is to know when there is potential for a problem as soon as possible.”.

“Transcan 2 temperature recorders are used all over the world and are renowned for their alarm functionality and have always given Courier Express peace of mind, however when connected to the Seven Eye Cool Track system we have a real time operational tool that can see ahead for us. We can see instantly when air temperature may be heading out of range before it has a detrimental effect on our customers product.”, says John.

Another differentiating factor for Courier Express has been the ability to have Pan European coverage. Courier Express are starting to see a healthy growth in their International operations.

Michael Kane, Sales Director for Seven Telematics comments “Most business would probably not automatically choose to undertake such a move in the current climate, however we feel that continual review of our operating procedures throughout the economic downturn has highlighted significant efficiencies that can deliver very sensible savings for Seven Telematics”. Michael adds “revenues have dropped for just about all of our customers, almost without exception, yet for all of us costs continue to increase, insurances, fuel and raw materials etc the list is ever growing. Only by highlighting efficiencies have we been able to make the bold step to ensure that we keep our costs to a minimum and yet still deliver an exemplary service level”

Ian Webber, Production Manager of the new facility is very happy to share his views, “It is a very pleasing process to be able to design a dedicated production centre, our manufacturing processes are now all under one roof. Quality is paramount as our reputation is very important particularly in today’s market, all areas of the factory now benefit from a more structured “flow” design and development through to final product testing and dispatch runs better than ever”
