Simplifying supplier management and training visibility for EMAS

EMAS partnered with Insite to consolidate training suppliers, streamline admin, and improve tracking. With access to a central portal and one point of contact, they gained full visibility and better control over training progress.

Challenge

  • Numerous training suppliers becoming an administrative headache
  • Variance of training across suppliers
  • Cost difference across suppliers
  • Lack of driver progress visibility impacting internal training schedules
  • Trainees having limited options for where they could do their training
  • Trainees missing internal start dates due to slow completion times

Solution

We offered EMAS a fully managed service that allowed them access to more suppliers through our centralised process and pricing. We also gave them access to our CRM through our Driver Tracking Portal. This would significantly reduce the administration necessary to train drivers across numerous locations and allow members of staff to focus on other business aspects.

Insite were able to implement:

  • Clear communication channels between EMAS programme co-ordinators and the Insite training team
  • One price and simple invoicing with one contact
  • Access to the Driver Tracking Portal for instant live driver progress
  • More training locations available to trainee drivers meaning faster completion times

Results & achievements

To date we have a very healthy 70% overall pass rate and a 71% 1st time pass rate. EMAS have also been able to cut down on time spent contacting training schools for a driver progress update. They are now simply able to log in to the Driver Tracking Portal and find any driver in training and bring up their training log. They also have all drivers’ details stored centrally with easy access.
