Real-time vehicle tracking
February 1st 2009 Continuing its policy of
using leading edge
technology to improve
customer service, the
Meachers Group has
installed Internet based
satellite tracking
throughout its fleet.
The Quartix vehicle
tracking system ensures
the company has real
time information on its
vehicles which is
accessible online. A full
log of vehicle activity is
delivered by email every
morning, enabling the
company to monitor its
service to customers.
The information is
helping Meachers reduce
fuel costs, improve
operating efficiency and
safeguard vehicle and
driver. The technology
also provides information
regarding fuel efficiency,
vehicle speeds, loading
and unloading times and
on time collection/
delivery performance.
Stuart Terris, deputy
MD, comments "The
Quartix system gives us
an instant, online
snapshot of where any
one of our vehicles is at
any given time. It
provides an accurate
breakdown of miles
covered, average speed,
and whether or not
they're using the direct
route. It is working well,
enabling us to identify
any problems that may
arise on the driver's route
and resolving them with
the driver or the customer." More articles from Meachers Global Logistics: |
