GRS Roadstone Case Study

Reaping in the benefits for aggregate, bulk & waste operations.

GRS needed an online platform to connect their large supplier network and demanding requirements. Moving 15 million tonnes of material each year from 30 depots nationwide, they needed maximum control of their fleet.

The way things used to be

Manual forms were created and filed for maintenance workflows
Schedules were manually generated for future jobs
Lack of control and visibility was an issue.

Problems they faced & how r2c solved them

Communication with third party service providers needed improving – r2c allows GRS to work collaboratively with their service network with real-time updates and alerts through one standardised platform
Equipment and vehicles are spread across 30 sites – r2c allows users to sign in from any location to check fleet status thanks to its cloud-based technology.

The aim

GRS wanted to increase their levels of control across their in-house workshop, particularly when it came to their third-party service network. They also wanted to improve efficiency in the transport office when it came to admin work.

Additional benefits they’ve found

Dashboard gives instant vision of fleet progress at all times
Digitally stored documents which mean no more filing or creating manual plans
Increased control across the fleet and workshop operation
Improved supply chain relationships through one collaborative platform.

Mark Jones said:

“Once we worked out the cost of my time as well as paper and print costs, it really was a no-brainer. Since using r2c, I have reduced my workload by approximately 30%.

“r2c has solved everything, the dashboard gives me instant vision of where we are at all times. Filing is no longer required as it’s all now digitally stored and we can produce and monitor plans at the click of a button. It also makes conversations and arrangements with third party service providers a lot smoother and clearer.

“I would absolutely recommend r2c to other fleets and workshops, and with a glowing reference. It is in my opinion that any professional fleet operation should use r2c, not only as an invaluable tool and timesaver but also as a way of selling their services. I’m not sure how we managed without it.”
