Who doesn’t love a good success story? Here are 5 Fleetmatics customers who have reaped the benefits of GPS fleet tracking for their small businesses.
1. Belknap Landscape Amps Up Customer Service
Belknap Landscape Company has been able to optimize customer service with Fleetmatics.

This allows Belknap to have faster response times and a happy, satisfied client, which is the most important benefit of all.

2. Kimball’s Construction makes Driver Safety a Priority
Before installing Fleetmatics, Steve Kimball did not expect his drivers were excessively speeding in his vehicles. Once the system was installed, Kimball discovered there were instances that his trucks were going 80 mph in a 65 mph zone. “Being able to track speeding wasn’t something that I thought would be that important but it’s been such a positive aspect of fleet tracking. It’s great to know that the drivers have gotten so much safer. The trucks are a huge liability and anything we can do to control that in a fair way is helpful.”

He let his team know how outrageous the idling times were—and they vowed to help him reduce idling. By the next week, Carey and his team had reduced their idling time by 10 hours. Talk about teamwork!
