Customer
Whānau Āwhina Plunket
Overview
Smartrak was able to provide several different solutions to Plunket’s fleet of more than 500 vehicles. Smartrak’s fleet tracking solutions have enabled Plunket to better understand vehicle location, utilisation, and driver behaviour.
The Issue
With over 500 vehicles that enable its staff to provide services across NZ's North and South Islands, and due to the dispersed nature of its workforce, Plunket wanted the visibility to understand how its fleet was performing, monitor and ensure the safe driving of its staff, and to analyse and understand the utilisation of their fleet.
The Solution
Smartrak was chosen to provide comprehensive fleet management software and GPS tracking hardware across Plunket’s fleet. Smartrak supplied our AVL tracking hardware, which provided accurate data on where vehicles were located. The solution also enabled driver behaviour and vehicle speed reporting through the software interface.
Conclusion
Since implementing Smartrak’s solutions, Plunket’s Commercial Advisor Jenny Seddon has seen a direct improvement in several areas, including asset tracking, utilisation, and driver behaviour. She has also used the data from Smartrak’s tracking solution to make decisions about the allocation of non-fleet resources at Plunket sites across New Zealand.
“One-off events, unless it’s really significant, we’re not so concerned about. But if we see there’s a regular trend of speeding by a particular staff member then we start looking at that.”
