N-Virocycle

What do you do when one of your vehicles fails a roadside inspection – because the camera tech you bought and installed isn’t actually working as it is supposed to? For Martin Mua, Head of Compliance at N-Virocycle, the answer was simple: call CameraMatics.

Based in Gloucester, N-Virocycle are specialists in the sustainable recycling of food and beverage industry waste into agricultural fertiliser — actively supporting the circular economy.

For over 28 years, they’ve helped customers dispose of waste efficiently while meeting environmental and sustainability targets at the same time — all while playing their own part in the circular economy and a greener future.

Of course, collecting waste — and spreading the treated product onto farmland — requires a fleet of specialist vehicles. N-Virocycle operates over 30, including vacuum tankers and bulkers/tippers. It’s a diverse fleet, designed to handle the wide variety of waste the business collects, treats, and distributes.

Like any other organisation that manages a fleet of vehicles N-Virocycle is constantly alert to risk — whether that’s the cost of accidents, fraudulent claims, or regulatory compliance.

“The bottom line is that we need to have cameras on our vehicles” says Martin. “We need to protect our drivers from fraudulent claims, of course. But it doesn’t stop there. When spillages occur, we need to understand what happened. We need a record of pick-ups. And lastly, as an organisation that operates within Greater London our vehicles need to comply with Direct Vision Standard legislation”.

N-Virocyle are also faced with the requirement to manage their business in the most efficient way possible. With dozens of vehicles on the move, that means using telematics data to limit the amount of fuel used and ensure that maintenance is managed in an effective and timely manner.

This visibility and control isn’t just helpful — it’s essential. The Environmental Agency (EA) permit conditions, health and safety regulations, and road transport laws all demand tight control over operations.

N-Virocycle need to know exactly what’s happening out on the road — whether it’s protecting drivers from fraudulent insurance claims, capturing reliable footage to investigate incidents like spillages, or verifying collection records to ensure full compliance.

On top of that, managing fuel consumption, reducing downtime, and staying ahead on maintenance all depend on accurate, real-time telematics data that they can trust.

This is where previous systems let them down. Equipment faults went unnoticed. Support was slow or non-existent. And it was hard to know who to call when something went wrong. That lack of visibility wasn’t just frustrating — it put compliance, safety, and performance at risk.

N-Virocycle’s decision to switch to CameraMatics was driven by two key factors: the quality of the product, and — more critically — the responsiveness and reliability of the support team.

“The decision to partner with CameraMatics was driven by Oliver Batty and Bob Burden’s outstanding customer service experience. We have had bad experiences with camera vendors in the past” says Martin. “It can be difficult or even impossible to have issues resolved. In some cases, we didn’t even know issues existed. With CameraMatics we deal with one organisation. Installation, servicing, support: we know who to contact, and they get back to us. I know that sounds like a small thing, but it is unusual in this industry”.

Although that level of support was most important, the product is also helping the N-Virocycle team in a whole host of ways that were not possible before.

“With CameraMatics, we have access to far more data, and it gives us the insight we need to operate more efficiently as a result. It’s absolutely everything from monitoring AdBlue to handling environmental compliance: not only does the system make it easy to run our business, it is also a pleasure to use. We’ve been delighted with the switch and look forward to working with CameraMatics for years to come”

CameraMatics supports N-Virocycle’s three core pillars — regulatory compliance, operational resilience, and environmental responsibility — with a fully integrated fleet safety and management platform, backed by exceptional customer service. And the impact speaks for itself.

Our partnership with N-Virocycle continues to grow, with future plans including the integration of a remote electronic braking performance monitoring system. This initiative supports their wider business improvement strategy — enhancing fleet resilience,

minimising environmental impact, and helping them deliver industry-leading waste recycling services.

We’re proud to be part of N-Virocycle’s journey — and look forward to supporting the next phase of innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.
