How Cap Nord Livraisons optimizes the management of over 90 vehicles using Optimum geolocation

Going beyond simple vehicle geolocation

Established in 2003 in Côte-d'Or, Cap Nord Livraisons is a transport cooperative specializing in twice-daily B2B deliveries. The company primarily serves professionals in the automotive parts, electrical equipment, plumbing, and paint sectors.

Today, the company's reach extends across several departments in Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, establishing itself as a recognized player in last-mile delivery.

Key figures
Over 100 employees
Over 90 fleet vehicles
Approximately 55,000 deliveries per month
Between 140,000 and 150,000 packages distributed monthly
Vans and trucks dedicated to professional delivery routes

In addition to twice-daily deliveries, Cap Nord Livraisons also offers other services: dedicated transport, express transport, logistics storage, freight forwarding, and temperature-controlled transport.

Before partnering with Optimum, Cap Nord Livraisons was already using a fleet tracking solution. However, this solution only met a basic need for vehicle location and did not fully meet their expectations. The company was, in fact, looking for a platform capable of supporting it in a comprehensive approach to multi-level fleet optimization.

The objectives were multiple:
Improve driver monitoring,
Reduce fuel consumption,
Enhance driver safety,
Better control over vehicle usage,
Receive real-time alerts,
Further secure the fleet with remote immobilisation.

« We only had basic geolocation. What made us switch to Optimum was the ability to also benefit from eco-driving, fuel monitoring, alerts, and the security of both vehicles and drivers. »

A versatile and high-performing fleet management platform

To address its fleet management challenges, Cap Nord Livraisons now relies on several features of the Optimum platform:

Real-time vehicle geolocation
The teams have an instant overview of the entire fleet. This visibility allows them to quickly locate a vehicle, respond to operational demands, and maintain constant control over field activities.

Driving analysis
One of the most frequently used features is driving behavior monitoring. Each driver receives an eco-driving score, which naturally encourages better driving practices.

« When our drivers get a score of 90, they want to aim for 91 or 92. They are eager to see their results and appreciate the gamified aspect of this evaluation. »

Smart alerts and fleet security
Cap Nord Livraisons actively uses customized alerts for excessive speed, abnormal movements, and vehicle use outside of scheduled hours. These notifications allow teams to intervene immediately in case of risky behavior.

« Today, if a driver is driving dangerously, we receive a notification and can call them immediately. »

Remote immobilisation relay
The company also chose Optimum for its advanced vehicle security features. The immobiliser system allows for quick action in case of unauthorized vehicle use or theft.

Fleet maintenance management
Thanks to maintenance alerts, teams can take action on several fronts: inspections, oil changes, tire wear, and brake operations. This feature is particularly useful in a context where multiple drivers might use the same vehicle throughout the day. It not only keeps vehicles in perfect working order and ensures driver safety but also reduces vehicle operating costs.

Savings, security, and organizational performance

Even if the company doesn't yet precisely track savings vehicle by vehicle, the benefits are clearly identified. The teams observe a gradual decrease in: fuel consumption, tire wear, and brake pad wear. Improved driving behavior directly contributes to extending the lifespan of the vehicle fleet and reducing maintenance costs.

More aware drivers
Eco-driving monitoring creates a positive dynamic among drivers. Scores become genuine progress indicators and encourage the adoption of good daily practices.

A safer fleet
Real-time alerts enable immediate reaction in case of risky behavior or non-compliant vehicle use. For Cap Nord Livraisons, employee safety is a top priority.

« Our company is built on people. It's out of the question for our drivers to put themselves or others at risk. »

More efficient fleet management
With over 90 vehicles and more than 15,000 monthly deliveries, centralizing data within a single platform significantly simplifies daily operational management.

Valued support
Beyond the technology, Cap Nord Livraisons also highlights the quality of support provided by the Optimum teams. The availability and responsiveness of commercial support are among the factors that contribute to the company's long-term satisfaction.

« Today, that's also why we stay with Optimum Automotive: we have a solution that perfectly meets our expectations, along with excellent support. »
