GPS Vehicle Tracking, Dash Cams and Fleet Management Solutions

Reducing liabilities

“We get a lot of snow removal work in our area and operate during late evenings, night time and early mornings. Unfortunately the weather can be so bad at times, the area we clear can get covered again. Clients will call and suggest that we haven’t cleared their lot, but with RAM on board I can easily print off a report that shows what time my guys arrived, how long they were on site and the exact time they left. This reduces our liabilities  and verifies our work.”

Productivity up by 25%

“Wasted time and inefficient routes were once a problem. We knew, prior to having the RAM system installed, that a tracking  system would help alleviate this. Now we can locate everyone to street level accuracy with just a few clicks, we are able to know where our guys are, what they are doing and allows us to direct the closest opera- tor to new jobs as they come in. Having this information at our fingertips means we have been able to reduce our fuel and communications bills, whilst pushing our productivity up by around 25%!”

10% Productivity increase

“We started to verify our employee timesheets against the data extracted from the RAM system.  The accuracy of the report that monitors the ignition on and off means we can check the payroll process carefully. We did find that there were a few hours being overclaimed each week. We can actively monitor this, but we can also see that the tracking system has had a productivity effect on the guys.  Now they know we can see their movements, I’d say we’re getting around an extra 10% productivity out of them! ”  

A true mobile solution

“Whether I’m sitting at my desk, at home or at an away location I can track the fleet and see what’s happening.  I can use my iPhone app, which makes everything super-easy to use.  The RAM system is a highly flexible mobile solution that delivers on its promises!”

“RAM is a professional company throughout.  We selected them from other companies in the market for many good reasons, but the two main points that stood out in my mind are the cost effectiveness of the solution and the ability to create user-defined locations – something other systems weren’t able to do! ”

No idling saves 10 – 15% on fuel each week

“We fitted the RAM system to replace our ‘theft-only tracker’ so that we could have greater visibility of how our fleet operates.  From the first day we were able to see improvements that could be made and the first one we knew we needed to tackle ‘head-on’ was the amount of excessive idling that our drivers were doing. In winter we noticed that the engines were being idled all day! I use RAM’s idling report to show me when, where and who left the engine running unnecessarily. By addressing this with the drivers I have been able
to cut our weekly fuel bill by around 10 – 15%.”

Saving $200 per week on over claimed time

“The RAM system accurately shows the time we arrive and leave a site. We can also check how many hours our drivers work and pay them accordingly.  I use the RAM system to verify the hours they report on their timesheets, and if there is a discrepancy, I can deal with it in a matter of minutes.  Since I’ve begun printing the time reports I can safely say I’ve saved around $200 per week in unauthorised overtime.”

Speeding violation overturned

“There were many good reasons why we wanted a tracking system, but to prove a traffic cop had miscalculated a speeding offence wasn’t originally one of them! We liked the functionality of the RAM tracking  system and had it fitted to our fleet of seven vehicles. One of our guys was driving along the 401 near Kingston when he was pulled over for allegedly doing 116 km/h. The fine was $275 for the driver and $275 to us for operating a vehicle without a governor. All of our vehicles have governors that limit speed to 105 km/h, so I decided to check the RAM system for details of the vehicle’s speed at that exact time.  Within a matter of minutes I had printed off the information that our solicitor was able to use successfully in court to have the case thrown out! There’s no way I could have proven this without the RAM system.”

$150 saving per person per week

“Having a tracking system on the vehicles has helped us to become more time efficient. It certainly seems the guys have become more conscious of their time and that’s been reflected in their overtime claims, which are noticeably down from around 60 hours to 50 hours a week. This represents a saving of about $150 per person per week! ”

Changing Attitudes

We informed our engineers that we were fitting a RAM tracking system. They weren’t keen at first and we did have one engineer in particular make an initial complaint.  However, after just a couple of weeks his opinions were completely transformed as he saw how the system had made his life so much easier.  He soon realised that he didn’t have to travel to the office to do timesheets, we could direct him easily to a location and overall his day became far more productive and less stressed.

Outstanding System

From our first meeting with the RAM sales representative to the installation, training and use of the system, there hasn’t been one moment where I’ve been unhappy.  This means a lot to me as we pride ourselves on our reputation, I wouldn’t expect anything less from our suppliers.  It was refreshing to talk to a person that knew in great detail what the product was rather than the usual ‘gloss-over’ that most sales reps provide.  The RAM system is a true cost solution, which offers a full warranty throughout the term of our contract and with no hidden costs I can get an accurate return on the investment.
