Let’s just say you are operating a food distribution company that can provide over 15,000 different items to your customers and this company is serving the entire South East United States. Now you currently have a satellite tracking system in your vehicles but it’s a pretty fragmented system, with different locations using different applications to access and gather this information. Now, we all know what happens when you have fragmented systems running throughout your company, you end up with fragmented results. Don’t believe me, just ask Southwest Airlines how the integration of AirTran is going, but I digress…
Cheney Brothers
Well, this is the scenario of Cheney Brothers, a food service distributor founded in 1925. Cheney Brothers finally decided that they wanted to bring their tracking systems together and provide some unity in the system they were using to track and manage their fleet of vehicle. They sat down and basically designed their own system. This new system was used to bring their managers, sales staff and drivers together on a platform that allows everyone to retrieve and review the necessary information and reports right from their PC’s or mobile apps, regardless of their mobile platform. They have apps that can be downloaded right from their company system for both the Apple iOS and the Android platform.
Now they are no longer running a fractured system and are enjoying a very beneficial return on their investment. Through the use of Geo-Fencing and Reporting they have achieved a level of efficiency that was not able to have been reached in the past.
Your Own Tracking and Management System
Okay so is your company ready to take on the designing of their own fleet management and tracking system? No? Completely understandable, and honestly why?
