Knowing where your equipment is and when it’s being used are crucial to profitability and performance.  Fleet Director’s Heavy Equipment Product (HEP) has the capability to tell you exactly where each piece of equipment is – is it moving, stationary, being operated during forbidden hours and is the engine on or off? With HEP, you’ll know it all.

You can then use this information to set up Alert/Exception parameters and automate many field and shop maintenance programs, you’ll also know immediately if an equipment theft is taking place.

“The accuracy of Fleet Director’s GPS tracking unit was instrumental in letting us recover an $85,000 backhoe that was hidden in a warehouse several hundred miles away.

Fleet Director gives service contractors all the tools they need to improve vehicle and worker productivity.  By knowing each truck’s location, status and availability, dispatchers can plan more loads while working around unplanned situations such as jobsite delays.  Workers’ start, break and stop times are all recorded and validated to control overtime and non-productive time – you can wave goodbye to ridiculously long, ‘scenic’ drive times.

“Adherence to company policies has also improved.  When a job is completed, all crews are supposed to immediately return to the yard.  With Fleet Director, “scenic route” side trips have been eliminated, which has helped control out-of-route mileage and overtime labor costs.”

Whether it’s a ton of concrete or 50,000 bricks, Fleet Director helps you keep your customers up-to-date about their deliveries. You can even provide real-time information about when your crew will arrive at a jobsite to help minimize wasteful downtime.  And with Fleet Director’s complete documentation of on-site arrival, non-working and departure times, billing queries are easy to sort out immediately.

“We also find that customer service has benefited from using Fleet Director.  Danny can pinpoint the exact location of a customer’s load if they call and ask where it is at.  He can also dispatch the closest vehicle to a customer when they call in an order, and he can even tell them how long it will take to get there.”

With 2-way wireless messaging, your trucks have unbroken communication with jobsite managers so that operations can keep moving along with maximum efficiency. Fleet Director’s Message Display Terminal provides you with an invaluable log of daily events including start and end of day times, and arrival and departure times from sites.

“We have 25 dry bulk tankers equipped with Fleet Director. Our sole mission is to keep our 22 concrete plants running at optimum production levels. So knowing each trucks location, current status and being able to communicate in real-time, supported by documentation, is critical. This is especially true when unplanned incidents occur during the day. Before Fleet Director, we used cell phones. It was not efficient, both in terms of cost and our tanker fleet’s performance. Now, we make deployment decisions or schedule changes based on facts. We have also seen lower fuel consumption levels because of more efficient routing, controlling engine idling times and controlling truck speeds. The system more than pays for itself every day.”
