Jonker Transport of Veendam had been working with the Efficio on-board computer from Rietveld, but noticed it was time for an improvement.
By switching to the Efficio3 on-board computer, they created a customized system that works modernly and efficiently and allows them to work even more flexibly.
Transport planner and part-time driver for the company, Robbert Pots tells us how Jonker Transport used the Efficio3 on-board computer and systems from Rietveld to speed up and improve work processes.
“Rietveld’s systems give us flexibility and the chance to focus on the real work.”
‘Several years ago we started using EasyTrack and one of the first Efficio on-board computer models. says Robbert. ‘We liked that one very much; the various functions such as messaging, vehicle tracking and sending orders made our work a lot easier. To take it a step further, we have now switched to the Efficio3, with this we can also send photos (among other things), the screen is larger and of course it is also a lot faster. Since a year ago, we have also added EasyTacho, to automatically and completely register our tachograph data, so that we always have the correct data available.
Time entries directly on the on-board computer
Jonker Transport is also implementing EasyHours, which enables remuneration based on registered hours and activities from the on-board computer.
For our drivers, this will take some adjusting, because they now have to do 100% of their work with the onboard computer,” Robbert explains.
That is why we guide them in this, because it is important that they register everything properly, especially if we are going to use EasyWatch to pay them based on the data from the on-board computer.
Of course, this will also save them time, because they will be rid of the paper weekly statements.
More digital and less administration
That, according to Robbert, is the big advantage of Rietveld’s solutions, because everything goes digital and you always know where the vehicles are, no time is lost with unnecessary app calls for questions like; ‘What time will you be at your destination? or “Which driver is closest and has time for a rush job?Whereas now everything is immediately visible in EasyTrack and therefore the focus can be much more on the work itself.
Photos also arrive digitally via the on-board computer immediately.
Drivers also send signed bills of lading directly and customers have a copy of these documents even before they are physically present in the office.
‘This allows us to make even better use of our time.’ concludes Robbert.
Maintaining small scale and flexibility
As a small-scale family business, where everyone helps each other, Jonker Transport has remained very normal. Because you are small and not tied to all kinds of rules and procedures, you are much more flexible and can arrange something last-minute more quickly. Our customers appreciate that,’ says Robbert. ‘Partly because of that, we have built up such a regular clientele in recent years. Rietveld’s systems help us realize this for our customers every day and are therefore indispensable.’
“By digitizing with the Efficio3 on-board computer, we work much more flexibly and efficiently!”
Rietveld thinks with us
Rietveld is a fine company that always thinks about issues.
‘Purely the contact with Rietveld is good and also the helpdesk works super.’ says Robbert.
‘Recently, for example, following a consultation with our drivers, we had a number of points for improvement for the question path in the on-board computer. We clarified this and passed it on to Rietveld, and a day later the adjustments had already been made to the on-board computer. It’s just great that Rietveld can just do that. We will soon start using the Transpas TMS system, which Rietveld is already working with and can connect the systems to. That’s great because then all the systems will communicate directly with each other, and we can send trip locations and tasks for the drivers directly from the TMS package, which will then also appear directly in EasyTrack and the on-board computer. This allows us to work even more efficiently and avoids unnecessary duplication of effort.
