UK-based Farmdrop is an ethical grocer, supplying local and sustainably produced food via an online grocery platform and mobile app. As a company with a strong brand ethic, Farmdrop have adopted telematics as a way to extend their responsible and ethical business approach to their delivery operations. Running a fleet of 30+ Nissan and Renault Electric Vehicles to carry out last mile deliveries in London, Bristol and Bath, Farmdrop looked to LEVL to provide the Geotab telematics platform throughout the fleet.

In just a few months, Farmdrop has seen double digit improvements in driver behaviour and fuel/energy use in its fleet of electric delivery Vanimals. With a custom-tailored solution and driver behaviour Add-On, Farmdrop was able to monitor electric energy use and fuel high engagement among drivers for impressive early results.

Mike Pearson – Head of Growth @ Farmdrop commented

“LEVL and Geotab has helped us make our fleet safer and more efficient. Using the driver behaviour Add-In, we have seen a 33% reduction in incidents of poor driving per mile. We have also seen a 27% reduction in the kW/mile we need to execute our London, Bristol and Bath routes.”

Compatibility with EVs is another key Geotab advantage, since Farmdrop’s entire fleet is electric. A different telematics supplier Pearson was considering could not read the information coming out of the vans’ electric power plants. Geotab had spent time developing a way to capture this data and generate meaningful reports

Andrew Pearce Director at LEVL commented:

“We are pleased to be working with Farmdrop and providing real telematics data for their fleet of electric vehicles, we work closely with Mike and his team to develop new features, reports and dashboards that are specific to EV’s. The results that they have seen so far are fantastic and we are proud to be part of the success of the Farmdrop EV fleet”
