Challenge

Established in 2006, Fine Painting and Allied Services provides a wide variety of services including industrial painting, insulation, intumescent fireproofing, environmental hazard analysis, maintenance painting, and chemical-resistant flooring. Due to business growth, Raymond Clevenger, Executive Manager of Fine Painting and Allied Services, needed a way to monitor his fleet and gain insight into driver productivity.

Solution

Clevenger’s research led him to several GPS fleet vehicle tracker solutions After carefully weighing his options, he chose the NexTraq® GPS Fleet Tracking solution. Clevenger said, “I chose NexTraq because it’s very user-friendly and the reporting functionality is exactly what we were looking for.”

Results

Within only a few days of implementing the NexTraq GPS Fleet Vehicle Tracker solution, Clevenger was able to identify problem areas within his fleet operations. After getting customer complaints, Clevenger discovered a small percentage of his drivers were leaving job sites, speeding, idling, and taking two-hour lunch breaks. Using the reporting functionality within the NexTraq GPS Fleet Tracking solution, he was able to pinpoint exactly how much time and money his drivers were wasting.
