CALLANDER ELECTRICS SAVES ON FUEL WITH ARMADAGPS

Callander Electrics use a range of vehicles to carry out service calls for their clients. There are some common benefits that most businesses with a fleet can gain from the very first day that GPS trackers are installed. Here are some of the key reasons that Callander Electrics would recommend ArmadaGPS to businesses with a fleet.

Out of hours vehicle usage stops, fuel savings increase

One of the main benefits of implementing ArmadaGPS tracking was obvious from the beginning.

"Once the trackers were installed into the vehicles, out of hours vehicle usage plummeted, resulting in a considerable fuel saving immediately." Doltun John, vehicle manager. 

Doltun can review the vehicles activity from the ArmadaGPS Activity Reports and drill down to the location and duration whilst also keeping an eye on driver behaviour, like speeding.

"All the data is there to ensure that out of hour activity is stopped and fuel efficiencies are optimised." Doltun John.

Job dispatch efficiencies keep our vehicle running costs down

When a new job comes into operations a call to the nearest electrician is made to provide the next job details, without any considerable downtime or return to base. The real-time tracking within ArmadaGPS is the simplest way to find the nearest vehicle, great for ensuring fuel costs are kept to a minimum with no wasted journey times.

Verifying invoices and time-sheets

ArmadaGPS records all the service jobs with arrival and departure times down to the nearest minute. Verifying any customer billing queries or using the vehicle data for accurate job duration provides a robust data stream to check and verify job costings. It's simple to set up and the report can be scheduled to download on certain days of the week.

Pinpointing the quickest route's to optimise the fleet

Sometimes not all routes taken are the most straightforward, each journey can be viewed regularly to ensure that drivers are making the best use of their time. This comes from looking at a weeks activity at a glance and observing what changes can be made. There is always ways to improve the fleet operations and with the right tools, discovering any issues and fixing them like route planning is a lot easier.

Callander Electrics keeps reporting simple and most of the data comes from the Daily Activity Report, it captures an array of data to tackle most tasks. "We pinpoint what we want to work on and review the reports for various different cost-saving initiatives." Doltun John.

"It's become pertinent to have this kind of tool to manage a fleet, it ensures there is no guesswork. If you are slightly in doubt about anything, you have a reference point to work with, I highly recommend ArmadaGPS"
