Fleet management system provides peace of mind for Capricorn 07 August 2012

Building, shop fitting and commercial property maintenance company Capricorn has signed a three-year deal with FleetMatics for its fleet management software.

The company, which has 10 vehicles on its fleet, has been using the system since 2006, according to Paul Ennis, a partner in Capricorn.

"The FleetMatics system works all the time, and if we ever do have a query then the company is very reactive and a technician arrives very quickly," states Ennis.

Commenting on the benefits of the system, he says it's all about audit trails.

"We have 10 vehicles, with multiple users and we were having problems with things like parking tickets and speeding fines... When the documentation comes through a few weeks after an incident, it is impossible to recall who was where and when."

The security aspect of having a GPS module in the vehicle is also very important to him, as the company's vans are kept at employees' houses.

"The FleetMatics fleet management system is in our lives and we use it all the time, from checking where one of our employees is when they are running a small errand to monitoring the use of the vehicles by a dealer when they are in for servicing."

Ennis concedes that Capricorn doesn't use all of the features available, but says he is now contemplating monitoring fuel usage more closely.
