Ewan Crocker, Operations Director of specialist drilling company Corecut, was looking for a GPS fleet tracking system to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Corecut implemented Fleetmatics and saw major improvements - vehicles could be routed optimally, productivity increased tenfold, and extra contracts were won. Fleetmatics enabled monitoring of vehicle locations, messages to drivers, and job scheduling, allowing Corecut to maximize productivity.

1. Operations Director, Ewan Crocker was
looking for a GPS fleet tracking system that
would increase operational efficiency and
help him to better manage his fleet of 37
specialist vehicles. He also wanted to reduce
the company’s operational costs through
accurately tracking hours worked and
decreasing fuel usage.
“We have built an enviable reputation within
our industry by building a highly trained
team of CSCS qualified operators, which
has successfully completed thousands of
contracts promptly and precisely,” says Mr.
Crocker. “We chose Fleetmatics because
we needed a system with comprehensive
functionality; through optimising our mobile
workforce, we have improved our efficiency
and productivity levels vastly.”
Mr. Crocker believes each vehicle has
increased its productivity in several
ways: “The ‘Nearest Vehicle’ function on
Fleetmatics has enabled us to streamline
which vehicle is sent to a job and because
we also have Garmin integration they
get to the job site via the quickest route.
Fleetmatics ‘Live Fleet’ with Google Maps
allows us to see at a glance where the entire
fleet is and pinpoint the location of the job.
The Garmin integration also enables us
to send out messages to our entire fleet
simultaneously. They know exactly where
they need to go and when they need to
arrive by; we can confirm the instructions

2. have been received and the jobs
accepted. For safety, we can also
predetermine the messages that the
drivers send back to us. This vastly
increases our productivity because, in an
instant, we know everybody is on course
and ready to start work.
The Fleetmatics system has also enabled
me to calculate how long each job takes
the team and, if they finish a job early, I
can send them to the next. It also enables
me to forward plan job scheduling – a
great time management asset.
Fleetmatics has also allowed me to monitor when a vehicle arrives on site and leaves
- so late arrivals, long lunches and early departures are kept to a minimum. I can
ensure that we’re punctual when arriving on site and that we leave on time when
the job is done. Think about it, if a van carrying two men arrives just 30 minutes late
to a job, that’s already one hour of productivity lost. It’s easy to accurately monitor
overtime hours and customer disputes are resolved painlessly.
The savings are actually estimated to be greater than four hours per van per month;
Ewan also remarks on the simplicity and extra contracts that Core Cut wins, “It was
an easy decision to choose Fleetmatics. We are able to understand and optimise the
movements of our operators – that, on its own, has paid for the system 10 times over”.
“Keeping a closer eye on the drivers, optimising their routes and keeping them
moving, significantly decreases the time my operators spend on the road. All this
time adds up and I can definitely schedule more jobs because of it. I just have more
control!” concludes Mr. Crocker. “Our reputation for customer service is growing
thanks to Fleetmatics and it’s definitely winning us business.”
