In conversation with a customer recently, we started to talk about savings he has made since installation of his gps tracking system. The first one that sprung to mind was a little bit unusual but probably quite common all the same!

Despite being located right beside a petrol station he noticed a trend that all his drivers were consistently driving to a petrol station 8km down the road. It was only when he subsequently questioned the drivers that he found the reasoning behind this. If you fill your tank at this petrol station you get a 'Free' cup of coffee...

So let's take a closer look at this free cup of:

Price of Coffee: €0

Fuel cost used: €2.40

Cost of Drivers Time: €4.00

Total cost of "free" one €6.40 !

It mighn't cost as much as a Kopi Luwak but it will certainly make you think about installing a machine in the office or paying the €1-€2 for the coffee in the local petrol station.
