Based in Huddersfield, Waves is a care company running day centres for adults with additional needs. Waves runs a fleet of vehicles that transport its members to and from its day centres.

The Problem

Waves faced challenges in monitoring driving performance, keeping track of vehicle locations, and ensuring accountability for incidents on the road, to protect drivers from false or malicious claims. Ben Wright, Managing Director, explained: "Keeping track of where vehicles are and how they're being driven is critical, especially when covering such a large area."

Additionally, Waves needed a solution to manage fuel costs effectively, reduce overall expenses, improve administrative processes and provide insight into the company's fuel usage.

The Solution

After evaluating the market, Waves selected Radius to implement its vision-duo camera solution. This system provides forward-facing and in-cab cameras with live video streaming as well as full vehicle tracking capabilities - all delivered through a single camera device.

Ben Wright remarked: "The cameras have been a game-changer for us, particularly in improving driver behaviour and offering evidence in the event of incidents."

Waves also adopted fuel cards from Radius to streamline fuel management. The ability to track and analyse fuel usage provided actionable insights, with monthly fuel reports summarising expenses and patterns.

Results

The vision-duo cameras and the fuel cards have transformed Waves’ operations, resulting in improved driver behaviour and safety, as well as realising significant fuel cost reductions. Waves can now prove liability in the event of any incident using the camera footage, protecting its' drivers.

Ben highlighted the ease of onboarding: "Getting started with Radius was seamless, and the cameras were quickly fitted with minimal disruption."

Conclusion

Waves’ partnership with Radius has delivered significant operational efficiencies and enhanced its reputation for safety and reliability. Ben Wright summarised: "Having this level of insight and control has been invaluable. It's not just about monitoring, it's about protecting our team and ensuring we deliver the best service possible."
