Service Level Agreements
Service level agreements define the timescales in which cases are agreed to be resolved.

How Can Cambrian Help?
To provide a cost-effective service, your business needs to deliver its onsite services at a pace with minimal costs.
Our fuel cards and telematics will help provide continuity to your business while you’re providing continuity to your customer’s businesses.
Fuel Cards
Fuel cards are an essential business utility and are ideal for companies that deliver any kind of mobile service.
- Employees
For employees, they remove the need for them to meticulously collect receipts or fill in expense forms. They also put less financial pressure on employees who have to wait a month to be reimbursed. Many fuel cards offer the opportunity to collect loyalty reward points. This incidentally benefits employees. - Businesses
Fuel cards offer businesses fuel at a fixed weekly rate. They also offer favourable credit terms. The combination of these two facets offers businesses greater scope to plan fleet activity more efficiently and gives them greater cash flow. In addition, fuel cards increase productivity as they allow staff to concentrate fully on their jobs.
Telematics
Telematics devices ensure the safety of a driver and expensive assets. Vehicle tracking systems relay in real-time how and where a vehicle is being driven. They encourage higher driving standards and reduce vehicle accident rates. Many of our devices offer the end-user a facility whereby they can check the location of their service person and see an estimated time of arrival.
Many of our devices are connected to the engine management systems. This will relay information directly to the fleet manager about oil levels, tyre pressure and any other critical functions. Early diagnosis ultimately helps to save money and lower vehicle downtime.
