Transport and logistics companies worldwide are striving to make their fleets safer and more efficient, while also looking for ways to make supply chains more transparent. We see that more and more businesses choose to use fleet management solutions to improve fleet safety and internal operations. And Mapon can help you achieve exactly that!

In this article, we examine how our fleet management platform has helped Bertschi AG, the European market leader in intermodal chemical transportation, maintain its motto: “Stop at risk” strong.

An industry that requires extra safety

Bertschi AG specializes in logistics services for liquids and dry bulk products for the chemical industry. Today, the company is the European market leader in intermodal chemical transportation by rail, road and water and has also established a leading position in global ISO tank transportation and value-added logistics services. Bertschi AG has a fleet of 1100 trucks delivering cargo to hundreds of locations all around Europe. 

As Paula Sanchez Sobrini, Process Redesign and Digitalization Project Manager at Bertschi AG states,

“Visibility is always a key challenge when it comes to providing reliable logistics services. Only if you have enough and accurate information about the current status of the transport, can you plan efficiently and therefore also improve the service quality.” 

Bertschi AG wanted transparent data about its fleet and a tool to help improve driver performance. That’s why the company searched for a fleet management service that would satisfy its needs. Long story short, they chose Mapon, and here is how it happened.

Pilot project with the company subsidiary in Finland

Bertschi AG has subsidiaries in 38 countries, and Bertschi Finland was the one that introduced the Switzerland-based headquarters team to Mapon. The subsidiary tested our solutions for almost a year, and afterwards, the company decided to continue testing for another year. This time, the Mapon team was also involved in developing some features specifically for Bertschi AG needs.

“After testing the platform for a year, we realized Mapon’s potential and decided to continue the testing period. The quality of the service, as well as the easy and clear cooperation with the company, was crucial in the decision to equip all Bertschi AG trucks with Mapon,”

Paula Sanchez Sobrini explains.

Optimizing Operations and Personalising Driver Training

Bertschi AG uses many of Mapon’s solutions – from GPS tracking to driver behaviour monitoring. According to Paula Sanchez Sobrini, the latter is one of the most useful features for the company.

“Using Mapon, we can optimise the dispatching of our clients’ orders, enabling accurate and reliable arrival times,”  says a Bertschi AG representative.

“Another critical challenge we’ve addressed is improving road safety. Driver behaviour data allows us to tailor our Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) training to individual drivers’ needs. By offering personalised training that is focused on their main areas of improvement (such as smooth and efficient driving, etc.), we can significantly reduce road accidents.” 

A User-Friendly Platform Backed by Exceptional Support

Paula Sanchez Sobrini highlights the usability of the Mapon platform and the value of our customer support.

 “The fast response to any inconvenience, as well as Mapon’s willingness to help Bertschi AG achieve its goals, is undoubtedly the most valuable aspect of the whole service. Not only is the Mapon platform user-friendly, but the people behind it as well. The company crew is professional, reliable and open to new ideas and projects,” she says.
