Fleetfinder has enabled our company to monitor our heavy vehicle fleet by GPS 24/7. In today’s environment being able to work with a progressive, innovative provider of these services has helped us to improve our fleet operational efficiency and regulatory compliance obligations.

All our vehicles are clearly marked with our company logo and name, the tracking system ensures that our technicians are aware that they are being monitored for their driving habits as the worst advertising for a company is bad driving by somebody in a marked company vehicle. Downer EDI Engineering Electrical Pty Ltd is a proud Australian company with close ties to the local community and ensuring good driving habits by our staff helps us maintain our status.

The Fleetminder system is constantly adding new useful features & reports & while I know I won’t ever use all of them it shows us that they are thinking ahead. When dealing with incidents on mines & insurance issues the Fleetminder system is an invaluable tool.

Award Logistics are a transport and logistics company based in Jandakot. We operate a fleet of 20 trucks and 19 trailers. We currently are in the process of fitting out our entire fleet with the fleetfinder GPS tracking system. We originally started with a trial on 4 of our trucks and have since found fleetfinder to be a very efficient way of tracking our tucks that go on long distance trips. We are easily able to monitor their whereabouts, their speed and other useful trip information. This helps us manage our costs and schedule our trucks for their next trips. Our clients are also happy with the service we can provide them using Fleet Minder such as providing them with an accurate time of arrival for their deliveries.

SM Telesys has seen a 20% improvement in scheduling, a 14% average increase in billable time each month and a decrease in fuel consumption. We’ve seen a real culture change regarding timesheet accuracy and private usage of vehicles. There’s a new attitude that’s helping us reduce costs and improve productivity.

Automatic Maintenance Scheduling with emails going to all involved means that my vehicles are always in tip top condition. Making use of some of the comprehensive reports help to ensure that my drivers paid for the hours that they actually work, my vehicles are not unduly held up in the port or at a customer’s business and this frees up my time to build the business and make me more profitable.

With the valuable data from fleetminder, we are coming closer to world best practice for freight costs, supporting our drivers and keeping our customer service promises. We believe GPS tracking supplied by fleetfinder has improved the efficiency of scheduling within our operations. The system enables us to monitor trip times and speeds on certain road conditions.

The results were immediate.While initially we felt that that it was a little ‘big brotherish’, there were some undeniable underlying cultural issues regarding start and finish times.” Having quickly moved on from that point, cars and trades people are no longer being routed inappropriately and being able to view the closest vehicle to a job that needs to been done “now” has added an amazing amount of efficiency and a competitive dynamic to the organisation.
