Idling is Costing YouThere are times in business where being indecisive can actually cost you money. In a
world that is continually o� ering more and newer technologies that allow businesses
to do their job better and more e� ciently, it is foolish to keep your head stuck in the
sand and not consider what these new capabilities have to o� er in terms of saving your
company money and helping your company grow.
Improve Productivity & E� ciencyHaving a GPS tracking system allows � eet managers to provide their drivers with not only directions, but the shortest and most ef-
� cient route from one job to the next. By providing the exact location of each vehicle and technician at any given time throughout the
day, it also allows the dispatcher to send the closest vehicle to any job or emergency that comes in throughout the day. This allows
for more jobs to be completed throughout the course of a day. Robert Ranson from Best Electrical claims, “We’ve gained an additional
£60,000 in revenue due to increased productivity without having to increase our workforce.”
Lower Operating CostsIt’s no secret that the biggest leakage of costs in a � eet company is wasting fuel. Whether it’s from excessive idling, speeding, taking
ine� cient routes from one job to another, or simply unauthorised vehicle use, these are all activities which are monitored on a minute-
by-minute basis with GPS � eet-tracking. Fleetmatics provides you with over 30 easy-to-read reports to accurately measure and monitor
vehicle activity and allows you to actually see which of your drivers are wasting fuel. According to Ian Stirling of Ian Stirling Haulage,
“The fuel savings alone have more than covered the costs of the system.”
Improve Customer ServiceGood customer service is not only the key to sustaining your business; it is the key to growing your business. By implementing
a GPS tracking system such as Fleetmatics, you and your customers will know precisely when a vehicle will arrive on the job and be
sure that it will have the proper equipment and technician onboard. This provides great comfort for your customers, ensures that the
job will be done properly, and validates any possible service or billing discrepancies. In the words of Raj Dhillon of Dhillon of London, “I
wish I had Fleetmatics installed a couple of years ago. It has helped us out tremendously.”
