About The Customer
Shred-it, founded in 1988, is the world's largest mobile secure document and paper shredding company. It helps businesses meet compliance obligations by providing unparalleled security and service for valuable information. With over 140 branches worldwide, Shred-it serves more than 150,000 customers across five continents, including top intelligence and security agencies, police forces, hospitals, banks, and educational institutions. In the UK, Shred-it operates a national network of 15 branches, servicing over 17,000 customers with a fleet of more than 100 vehicles.
The Challenge
Shred-it faced challenges in managing its fleet of over 100 vehicles in the UK, lacking real-time visibility into vehicle locations and driver performance. This lack of visibility hindered their ability to ensure the security of confidential materials and meet customer expectations. Additionally, there were concerns about driver safety, accident risks, and high fuel costs due to inefficient driving behaviors. Without diagnostic information on fuel use or vehicle health, Shred-it struggled to control unnecessary operational costs.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Shred-it implemented Trimble's GeoManager Fleet Management and Driver Safety solutions across its UK fleet. These solutions provided real-time visibility into fleet operations, enabling better management of vehicle utilization, maintenance planning, and customer service. The Driver Safety solution allowed monitoring of driver behavior, providing analysis of maneuvers like hard acceleration and braking. Instant alerts were sent to drivers to modify their behavior, and managers could analyze trends to implement training and reward programs. This comprehensive approach helped Shred-it improve fleet efficiency, driver safety, and operational cost management.

In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds. Manual, costly and ineffective, the local agency desired to transition from analog to digital CCTV, apply computer vision and other technologies to automatically detect potential crime in progress, expedite and streamline emergency calls and integrate with personal wearables to ensure the safety of their citizens.
