Live tracking system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ford Mainwaring are a specialist mechanical and electrical contractor with trackers installed in all their fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Director Jason Shepherd said: \u201cIn essence, the Quartix live tracking system has given us the ability to react to emergency call-outs more effectively as we can now send the nearest available engineers to a site. This not only meets our clients\u2019 needs but helps to reduce our fuel bill and, more importantly, our carbon footprint,\u201d he says. \u201cWe feel that we are doing something positive with respect to our responsibility for the safety of our workforce, other road users and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reducing transport costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jason has found that the system has helped reduce his transport costs in several ways. \u201dWe can now collate information for our insurance company,\u201d he explained, \u201cwhich has assisted us in reducing our fleet insurance bill. And the effect on the vans is to reduce their maintenance and fuel costs, through better fuel economy and less wear and tear\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on how he uses the information from the system, Jason said \u201cWe can if needed use the email reports as a back-up to our time sheets. They resolve issues such as confirming on-site times with customers, or clarifying instances when the engineers arrived but had to wait for access.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

“The cost benefits have been pleasing, in terms of insurance savings, vehicle costs and staff productivity. I really can\u2019t fault the Quartix system.”<\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n

Insurance savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The efficient use of his vans means he can get more out of each day. \u201cThese days we see the vans in the yard at the end of the day being readied for the next job, rather than it being left until the following morning\u201d. Jason acknowledged that while initially not everyone was happy about the introduction of the trackers, he said that now people just accept it as part of the way the company works and appreciate its importance financially and environmentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe looked at four different systems and opted for Quartix. It offered the best value, does what it claims and doesn\u2019t give us features we don\u2019t need. I like the fact that it\u2019s fitted discreetly out of sight behind the dashboard, as we don\u2019t need anything to tempt a break-in. The cost benefits have been pleasing, in terms of insurance savings, vehicle costs and staff productivity. I really can\u2019t fault the Quartix system.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
