Proactive cost management from Ctrack

Now, more than ever, it is important for businesses to know where their costs lie. “Luckily, in the road-transport and vehicle-fleet sectors, there are several areas in which costs can be identified, managed and reduced,” says Hein Jordt, MD of Ctrack SA.

One area in road transport that has a massive impact on operating costs pertains to the drivers. “This is why Ctrack has dedicated solutions that can track and monitor driving behaviour and identify instances such as harsh acceleration, braking and cornering, engine revving and excessive idling,” Jordt says.

When management is armed with powerful information about how their vehicles are being driven, they can take the necessary remedial steps to address these problems, reduce their costs and potentially save lives.

Ctrack also provides information about employees’ working hours and whether or not vehicles are being driven for business or private purposes. Vehicle routes can also be scheduled and optimised for efficiency.

“Ctrack provides slick, uncomplicated user interfaces that include the latest information and whereabouts of fleets and employees. These provide an instant snapshot of the location of vehicles and assets, either through lists or a map views.

“For managers, multiple management reports and an executive dashboard are always close at hand, meaning a return on investment in a very short time.

“Ctrack’s various product solutions, such as fleet tracking, cameras, jamming detection, trailer and asset tracking with live software reporting options, are designed to reduce manual intervention,” Jordt notes.

“Dedicated account managers ensure that the systems provide the required reporting that empowers clients to manage their fleets with accurate information. A state-of-the-art, 24-hour call centre prides itself in industry-leading recovery rates. It is also capable of supporting clients that wish to outsource a certain part of their fleet’s operational and risk-management tasks,” he concludes.
