About Pacifica
Pacifica is one of the UK’s leading appliance repair specialists, operating a nationwide fleet of over 200 vans.
Committed to delivering reliable, efficient service to customers across the country, the company also has strong ambitions to reduce its environmental footprint and improve driver safety.
The Challenge
With a large and busy fleet covering thousands of miles each week, Pacifica wanted to cut unnecessary fuel use and vehicle idling, reduce emissions, and improve driver safety – all while keeping operational performance high.
Traditional telematics had provided data but not behavioural change, so Pacifica sought a proactive solution that could engage drivers directly and make improvements stick.
The Solution
In 2022, Pacifica turned to Lightfoot’s in-cab driver coaching and rewards platform to help transform fleet performance.
“The in-cab coaching has made significant savings, and our drivers have really bought into the monthly competition to see who’s the best driver.”
- Ben Langley, Head of Commercial Fleet , Pacifica
Lightfoot’s real-time feedback encourages smoother, more efficient driving, while its rewards platform keeps drivers motivated through friendly competition and tangible incentives.
Following early success, Pacifica also adopted Lightfoot Vision, our AI-powered in-cab camera system that enhances safety and accountability across the fleet.
The Results
Since adopting Lightfoot, Pacifica has seen measurable improvements across key performance areas:
- 28% reduction in vehicle idling
- 12% reduction in fuel consumption
- Over 100 tonnes of CO₂ saved since 2022
- 87% of drivers regularly achieving Elite Driver status
These gains have led to reduced wear and tear, fewer road incidents, and lower running costs – all while supporting Pacifica’s sustainability goals.
Driving safety forward with Lightfoot Vision
The introduction of Lightfoot Vision has taken Pacifica’s fleet management to the next level. The AI-powered cameras help identify risky behaviours such as mobile phone use and distraction, while also providing valuable incident evidence when needed. Ben Langley, Head of Commercial Fleet at Pacifica said:
“We’re committed to making our fleet as safe and efficient as possible and our partnership with Lightfoot is helping us.
The in-cab coaching has made significant savings, and our drivers have really bought into the monthly competition to see who’s the best driver. Adding the in-cab cameras was the natural next step — they’ve had a great impact and even helped us provide evidence to the police when incidents have occurred.”
Pacifica plans to complete the roll-out of both Lightfoot and Lightfoot Vision across its full fleet by the third quarter of this year. Paul Hollick, Managing Director at Lightfoot said:
“Pacifica recognises the importance of incentivising smoother, safer driving and reducing its carbon footprint.
That approach has unlocked significant savings and driven further investment with the addition of our in-cab camera technology. With 87% of drivers now consistently achieving Elite Driver status, Pacifica is setting a fantastic example of how to make fleets cleaner, safer and more efficient.”
