The operations staff was very casual in terms of their performance, which resulted in inefficient fleet management. They needed to scale their deliveries but with a lack of visibility and the casual attitude of staff, they were failing in doing so. Another major problem that they were facing was that drivers used to idle at home by parking their trucks. This made driver availability an issue. Fleetx understood the need here and provided end to end visibility through features like Automated Jobs, Job wise reports and checkpoints, Site analysis. With these solutions in place, Star cements saw an increase in deliveries by 39% and their availability of trucks increased by 25%

How Fleetx helped

In the last quarter of the financial year, after signing up to Fleetx’s services, there was a 39% increase in the number of deliveries that were completed by NECPL trucks. This has led to an increase in the revenue generated. This happened due to greater visibility and more control over the truck’s whereabouts, there has been an improvement in vehicle placement and availability. We also implemented our Route Deviation feature in case the route needs to deviate immediately due to any reason and also get alerts in case the driver tried to deviate the route by himself without informing. Currently, about 25% of trucks are available at any two locations on any given day. Additionally, drivers are happier than they have more trips to do. This has been made possible due to the fact that inefficiencies in assigning vehicles have decreased, and the availability of vehicles has increased.
