Charity Slashes Monthly Fuel Costs by $400 with Help of Fleet Tracking

Moveable Feast is a charitable organization that provides meals and transportation for low-income residents, many of whom have life threatening illnesses. The organization’s fleet is always on the go, as the drivers travel over 200,000 miles per year around the Baltimore area. Because the nonprofit relies on donors to fund operations, Moveable Feast was looking to improve financial accountability by implementing a fleet tracking solution.

Thomas Bonderenko, Moveable Feast’s executive director, explains that the organization ultimately went with the Fleetmatics fleet tracking solution because it was cost-effective for the agency. “The monies that we use to do our services are all made by donations, “ Bonderenko says. “Fleetmatics has helped us be better stewards of those monies and help to create a more accountable and responsible staff.” Since implementing the solution, the organization has discovered and cut back on misuse of fleet vehicles and in turn, saved money in fuel.

Though the extent of the savings is not yet known, Bonderenko estimates that Moveable Feast has already saved approximately $400 a month in fuel since deploying the solution. The savings primarily come from more efficient routing and less vehicle misuse by employees.
