As the business grew, so did its fleet and operational footprint. Managing multiple teams across different sites meant visibility, security, and accurate reporting became essential to keep everything running smoothly.
Before RAM Tracking, managing the fleet was time-consuming and uncertain. There was no reliable way to know where vehicles were throughout the day, and staff updates were often delayed or inaccurate. This made it harder to cross-reference timesheets, confirm staff locations, and ensure everyone was where they were supposed to be.
Mileage tracking and security were also challenges. Calculating personal mileage deductions took longer and left room for inconsistencies, and, without live tracking, locating vehicles quickly or proving their locations during incidents was difficult.
“The lack of visibility created unnecessary stress, delays, and uncertainty across the business,” the team recalls.
RAM Tracking proved invaluable during vehicle theft incidents. Around two years ago, a work van was stolen from the office site in the early hours of the morning. Staff logged into the RAM portal and found the van in a remote field. The precise location allowed for a quick recovery, preventing further loss.
In December 2025, a BMW fleet vehicle was stolen from an employee’s driveway after the keys were cloned. Using live tracking from RAM, the team provided the vehicle’s location to the police, and it was recovered within hours.
“The accuracy of the tracking and the ability to see exact journeys and live locations made all the difference,” the team says.
RAM Tracking has become part of the everyday workflow at DVC. Managers use it to monitor staff and vehicle locations across multiple sites, ensuring everyone is where they should be. Weekly mileage reports accurately separate business and personal mileage, removing guesswork and saving administrative time.
The portal itself is easy to use, whether checking live locations, reviewing journey history, or exporting reports. It gives the office team confidence that the information is accurate and supports quick decision-making.
“It gives us instant visibility across the whole fleet, saving a huge amount of time compared to relying on phone calls or waiting for updates from drivers,” the team explains.
Since adopting RAM Tracking, DVC Roofing has seen significant improvements in efficiency, security, and accountability. The company now has instant answers instead of chasing drivers, and mileage reporting is accurate and consistent. The system has made operations smoother and safer, particularly after recovering stolen vehicles.
“We would absolutely recommend RAM Tracking to other roofing or construction companies. The system has proven itself to be reliable, accurate, and genuinely valuable in real-world situations,” the team concludes.
