Fleet Management & Vehicle Tracking Solutions

2. Fleet Management & Vehicle Tracking Solutions
Our core business is Fleet Management & Vehicle Tracking Solutions.
Our aim is to provide great assistance in these current global economic challenges
in decreasing costs in the supply chain. The expense of running, maintaining and
operating a fleet of vehicles can cost a large part of a companies budget and time.
Managing your fleet efficiently is an absolute priority - particularly during an
economic recession or period of financial hardship.
Most businesses have identified the following challenges in their own fields of
business:
* Increasing the productivity of vehicles.
* Improving customer service and communication to Drivers.
* Reducing maintenance costs and Driver abuse.
* Reducing fuel costs and vehicle security risk.

3. Ctrack Facts
Ctrack gives real time feedback every two minutes on the status and location of
each vehicle, as well as historical information on number of trips, driving time and
stopped time, time spent at each customer etc.
Ctrack gives real time feedback to management and the driver of any speeding,
harsh braking and excessive idling violations, as well as reports designed for
driver de-briefing and training.
Fleet management isn't just about incorporating a vehicle tracking system or real
time GPS tracking into vehicles. It's about vehicle financing, fuel management,
vehicle telematics (tracking and diagnostics), driver management and a whole
host of other aspects.

4. Continued…
There are a number of tools at your disposal to help you save money and identify
fraudulent transactions. The most obvious is the inclusion of a GPS vehicle tracking
system that relays real-time information to a central control, telling you exactly where
all your fleet vehicles are at any given time. Vehicle tracking systems don't just tell you
where your vehicles are - they can also give you diagnostic information regarding
speed, fuel consumption and other operational aspects. By analyzing this data,
Fleet/Transport Managers can work out the most cost-effective routes, reduce fuel
consumption due to excessive use of speed and streamline the operation making it
more efficient.
Collecting the data from the onboard computer and from data feed back to the base
station also gives fleet managers the ability to 'profile' their drivers. If a driver is
constantly speeding, a fleet manager will be able to chart this behavior and find out the
reason for it. If the driver is rushing to meet deadlines then the manager has the
chance to re-plan the driver's route, allowing him or her more time to meet deadlines
and reduce fuel consumption as a result. Where fleet management systems have been
incorporated into large organizations, a saving of up to 40% on annual fuel bills have
been achieved - particularly important when you consider the
constantly rising price of fuel.

5. Continued…
Ctrack Fleet Management can also help to reduce your fleet's annual insurance
costs. Insurance providers reward any attempts by fleet managers to minimize the
chances of vehicles being stolen or used inappropriately, so by fitting a vehicle
tracking system to your fleet vehicles you can also make considerable savings on
your insurance premiums. Real time tracking also means faster recovery of stolen
vehicles, minimizing the impact to your daily operations and costing less in repairs or
even replacing stolen and damaged vehicles.
Fleet management systems are designed to streamline operations, cut costs and
increase efficiency. All of these will result in long-term savings to the organization as
a whole, and while the initial outlay of installing GPS tracking or fleet management
system may seem high, the long-term benefits to the company far outweigh the initial
expense. It also means that the organization is more likely to be fully compliant with
any legislation, the duty of care to employees and prove to be a worthwhile
investment, no matter how big or small your fleet is.

6. Managing these inefficiencies will instead provide benefits
like this:
Labour Savings - vehicle location enables the closest fleet vehicles to make stops en
route before returning to dispatch instead of returning to dispatch for further direction
Fuel Savings - better driving habits and combining service calls mean big savings at
the pump!
Accurate Billing - businesses know exactly when technicians arrive and depart from
their service calls, providing valuable reports to handle billing complaints.
Rising Fuel Costs - Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration, and braking)
waste fuel. A vehicle going faster than 60mph can lose as much as 33% fuel efficiency.
A GPS system can provide instant alerts when pre-programmed speed parameters are
exceeded.
Idling - Vehicles with large engines typically waste more gas at idle than
smaller engines. Idling gets 0 mpg. A GPS system can provide
idling reports to audit driver practices

7. Continued…
Maintenance /Repairs.
Vehicles that are noticeably out of tune or have failed emissions testing can improve
mileage up to 4%. Serious problems being fixed, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can
improve fuel economy up to 40%.
Combining Service Calls
Several short trips use more fuel than one longer trip. A GPS system provides you with
the tools to plan trips and to dispatch the closest vehicle to a service call. You can also
avoid retracing routes and reduce the distance travelled, thus saving fuel and reducing
wear and tear to the vehicle.
Liability Protection
Vehicle tracking can protect your drivers, business, and reputation. Knowing where your
vehicles are can boost productivity and reputation. Additionally, many insurance
companies offer up to a discount for vehicles with a GPS installed.
Other scenarios in which this technology is employed include:
• Stolen vehicle recovery:
• Both consumer and commercial vehicles can be fitted with
GPS units and a backup unit to allow tracking & recovery to
take place with ease.
