Sipma Transport

“Because of EasyDrive, the conversation with our drivers is more about driving habits than about consumption.”

Sipma Transport has been a very satisfied Rietveld customer since 2007, at the time with the first edition of the Efficio on-board computer.
Now, many years later, Sipma Transport has combined the Efficio3 on-board computer with driving style analysis package EasyDrive and remuneration package EasyWatch.
Nevertheless, Agnes Sipma still regularly discovers new functions in Rietveld’s systems.

Easy and accurate payroll record keeping

“Already more than a year ago, we started looking at compensation. explains Agnes Sipma. ‘Salaries just have to be right, you don’t want any fuss about that. We always worked with timesheets, which we checked using the Efficio3 on-board computer. The big difference with EasyWatch is that we now have everything accurate to the minute and also that it is easier to perform daily checks to make the data complete. That saves a lot of work afterwards. Thanks to a smart link with our payroll system, the data is read in immediately.”

“I am very happy with the features of EasyWatch, this allows us to check trips daily and keeps the administration clear.” says Agnes Sipma.

Reduce fuel consumption

Fuel consumption remains a major concern for transport companies, including Sipma Transport, but with EasyDrive, the conversation is more about driving behavior than consumption.
Every trip and load is different, but as a driver you also have an influence on consumption.
EasyDrive translates a number of indicators into a report grade and our drivers find that very interesting.
In this way we get them thinking and they also know what they should pay attention to (in which area they score lower).
By talking to our drivers, they are more aware of their own influence on fuel consumption and how to positively influence the rating.

“You influence fuel consumption by talking to your drivers. EasyDrive gives us a good handle on that without having to do a lot of administrative work ourselves. So we can use that time to have conversations with drivers.”

About the collaboration with Rietveld

The contact with Rietveld is always very personal, whether with the account manager or project manager, we always get good explanations.
The help desk is also very knowledgeable about our questions.

For the future

For the future we are looking at automating the reading of the tachograph.
Because this also takes a lot of time, it would be nice to automate this.
