Tyre fleet management specialist, Tyre Business Solutions (TBS) has signed up to e-jobsheet, the open-access, digital tablet-based service work platform for truck, bus and van.  TBS will also consider facilitating its car fleet operations through the platform.

The agreement means that, in the future, TBS’ 900 plus dealer network will benefit from an integration between TBS’ management systems and their constituent dealers utilising the e-jobsheet app technology.

In time, TBS will enjoy the option of being able to transmit referential data such as fleet, vehicle, fitment and tyre details directly through the exchange to their connected dealers, issue directives surrounding specific fleet and breakdown work, and receive completed job details directly back into its systems within seconds of a dealer’s fitter completing work on behalf of TBS.

The TBS tyre breakdown and service dealer members will be able to use e-jobsheet for their own direct work as well as undertake work received from TBS which is central to e-jobsheet’s design.

The e-jobsheet app supports breakdown, inspection, scheduled work or supply only work and returned data to the dealer including products and services provided during the job, comments, recommendations, photos, mileage and signatures captured. This allows all

e-jobsheet subscribers to receive a professionally formatted, branded copy of every job sheet completed by the fitter in .pdf format.

Nick Diment, general manager of TBS, says, “We are impressed with the cloud-based job management platform as a route to helping streamline our dealings with our diverse dealer network, and in doing so increasing the speed, agility and visibility of operations for ourselves and all of our participating dealers too.”

Steve Daly, director of CAM International, adds, “We’re delighted that such a large and expanding dealer network group has identified the benefits e-jobsheet can deliver to its dealers and, by extension TBS’ fleet customers as well.”

CAM’s Ryan Naughton has been promoted to the company’s board of directors.  His promotion recognises the general manager’s contribution to the business over the last three years, specifically around the structuring of a formal people development programme, leading to the prestigious Investors in People (IIP) award in February this year.

Ryan Naughton joined CAM in 2013 reinforcing its continued commitment to a service-oriented culture and driving up its results-led organisational approach.  Since then he has built upon the company’s operational and procedural planning, delivering high value and innovative solutions to lead change and enhance the customer service and technology development teams within the organisation.

Mike Allen, managing director of CAM, says, “Ryan’s dedication to IIP and his commitment to founding CAM’s corporate social responsibility programme, enabling the company to support three chosen charities in 2016, have been exemplary. His experience, tenacity and organisational skills have enabled CAM to continue to develop our external and internal services based on the company’s strong ethos towards excellent customer service and support, high levels of staff retention, and our leadership position and high penetration in our target sector.  The result is that CAM is focused on consistently delivering solutions aligned to the challenges our customers face.”

Ryan Naughton says, “This is an exciting time to be part of CAM and I’m delighted to be able to play such a key role in its continued growth. Over the past three years, I have been privileged to work with such a well-rounded team who have committed tirelessly to ensure the delivery of a host of new cutting-edge solutions to our industry, which will assist in taking the company to the next level. Through the initiatives implemented during our IIP process and through operational planning / development, I have been able to watch our employees grow and see them tackle, either on an individual basis or as a group, any challenge put in front of them. I look forward to continuing to deliver innovative solutions and best in class service to both new and existing customers.”

It was all aboard as Team CAM Pain entered the 19th annual Dragon Boat Regatta, which took place at Gloucester Docks on Sunday 8 May. 

The team and its decorative 40-foot dragon boat raced to raise money for the event’s chosen charities: Cancer Research UK; Sue Ryder (local); “Charlie’s” – a new cancer drop-in centre in Gloucester; the Air Ambulance, and a village in Nepal, which was destroyed by an earthquake, where the money will be used to purchase 200 new ovens being placed in newly- built houses.

The 300-metre course required a mixture of balance and physical strength. Unfortunately, the team missed out on a place in the semi-finals by 0.5 seconds. However, general manager Ryan Naughton was pleased with Team CAM Pain’s performance, saying, “The group’s teamwork was on display during each race everyone rowed and pushed each other to do their best. While we were unlucky not to make it through, overall it was a great way to raise money and we look forward to coming back next year and challenging for the title.”
