A certain large fleet company decided to implement truck fleet monitoring system. High abroad driving staff communication costs and huge fuel losses were the main reason for the decision.

During the supplier selection procedure the company underwent test operations on various systems, amongst them the GX TRUCK solution, too. From the beginning the company's requirements were precisely stated; it needed to further benefit from its existing system, e. g. the information system aimed at the support of management for transport companies conducting business in the area of international transport. That's why the final solution for vehicle monitoring had to provide more than just position localization, kilometers driven or the electronic vehicle log book.
The company decided to definitely implement the GX TRUCK solution due to the fact that this solution best complied with its requirements. In the first place the solution was compatible with their current ERP system. During the implementation of the solution, integration was reached in terms of utilization of data provided by means of FMS interface. The company immediately welcomed the option of a more precise monitoring because the limitation of fuel drop-offs had a significant impact on the costs reduction. Practically, they immediately got access to the exact data regarding consumption.

It gathers not only information concerning vehicle location but mainly the comprehensive operation record of its vehicles. Several internal problems have been revealed this way and certain hidden reserves emerged due to the missing information. The oil problem is not such a great issue today as it used to be. The administrator of the fleet has an overview of the drivers' performance and overall utilization of transport. The implementation of graphic terminals made the allover communication more effective and it has considerably reduced costs, especially when roaming. The drivers also communicate with each other. Moreover, the company has a tool for management and control of the transportations carried out and creation of electronic active log - directly in the vehicle. The dispatchers get exact information regarding driving modes. This solution simplified and made the work more effective for every employee responsible for the vehicle fleet.

Subsequently, the customers also started utilizing additional functions of the solution in order to increase their overview.

Upon request, the driver sends these from the vehicle by means of the graphic terminal. Simply put, the company today has control of the cost items and the operational resources and takes the necessary measures.
