How the savings are calculated

The savings are calculated by making a field user journey comparison between the Thinventory network (of 1,358 exchanges) and a typical pick-up drop-off network. The key data points we applied for the calculations are:

Field operation data point	Carbon counter	Savings calculator
Number of sites field users pick up from	220 sites nationwide	Details provided by you
Average weekly pick ups and drop offs per field user	Based on historic Thinventory data
Number of field users
Operational days (per year)	7 days per week (excl. public holidays)
Typical LCV fuel consumption	30 miles per gallon
Fuel cost (diesel)	£1.55 per litre
CO2 Emissions	11.96kg per gallon
Average speed	Variable, based on designated limit
Territory	Great Britain (National)
Proximity to a pick-up site	Calculated based on GB population data
Routing start point	Field user’s home with first journey to pick up site

The Thinventory network of lockers ensures that the parts field users need are always close by. This reduces field user journey times, fuel consumption and emissions. In addition, our solutions provide visibility and control over your inventory in the field. All this increases scheduling flexibility, minimises shrinkage and expedites returns, further enhancing your CO₂ emission savings and reducing waste.

Actual savings may be different as each field service operation and requirements are different. If you would like a detailed assessment of the potential savings you could make, including reducing your carbon emissions, then please contact us.

Note: Field Users is a general term that includes field engineers, field technicians, and other field based roles.
