Isotrak and Skanska to host global webinar on cutting costs and saving CO2

March 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Isotrak, Europe’s award winning vehicle tracking systems provider, will be partnering with Skanska Utilities’ UK, one of the world’s leading construction groups, to host a FIATECH  moderated webinar about cutting costs and reducing CO2 within the utilities and construction sectors on 23 March 2010 from 11:00-12:00 EDT / 16.00 – 17.00 GMT.

The webinar will provide a valuable case study of how Skanska Utilities’ UK is using Isotrak vehicle tracking and telematics technology to achieve their corporate objectives. The webinar is accessible to all, but requires log in details, and those who wish to participate need to reserve their place in advance at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/266778336.

Isotrak fuses the latest satellite tracking technology with deep transport insight to deliver real-time visibility and measurement of whole-fleet (and individual-vehicle) location and execution. The service is delivered as a browser-accessible hosted ‘managed service’, which enables Skanska to get up and running quickly, and access the service from any internet-connected computer with a compatible web browser.

Craig Sears-Black, Sales and Marketing Director, comments: “Isotrak is working well with Skanska to provide a solution which suits their business requirements. This webinar will provide clear insight for companies wishing to optimise their assets and consequently reduce CO2 and save money.”

Skanska Utilities specialises in installation and maintenance for the telecommunications, gas, power and water sectors. A key part of this is co-ordinating the work of van-based excavation teams and grab-arm vehicles. Since they have started using Isotrak’s system to track vehicles it has successfully managed to improve utilisation, as well as health and safety, and underwrite Service Level Agreements to customers and ensure all work is completed on time.

The webinar will be moderated by Nicole Testa Boston, Deputy Director at FIATECH while Skanska and Isotrak will be represented by Boyd Neal, Business Systems Manager within Skanska and Craig Sears-Black, Sales and Marketing Director at Isotrak.

FIATECH runs a series of ‘Technology Tuesday’ webinar sessions designed to keep industry members abreast of the newest features and emerging technologies and trends. Webinars are recorded and can be accessed from the media library at a later date if required. For more information, contact info@fiatech.org.
