All lawn mowing companies should use FleetChaser. The “real-time” features are amazing!! We had employees driving 30-40 minutes one way for lunch and taking 45 minutes to eat lunch, then only reporting a 30-minute lunch break. When you add these to your equipment you can see if your employees are making money off of your equipment by mowing non-client yards!! We had it happen to us. We also found the email alerts for maintenance to be so helpful! The trackers paid for themselves in the first month from our savings!
We at Landmark Materials are very thankful to have found a tracking system that is as wonderful as Fleet Chaser!!! Fleet Chaser allows us to make sure our dump trucks are getting to the sites on time. We can check in on the drivers and notify our clients regarding arrival times. Taking pictures of things that need to be repaired, logging them in under maintenance records, and getting email alerts were the big seller for us. We also have heavy equipment that we are using the trackers on. Being able to keep up with the hours enables us to charge clients accurately. Being in the know about our teams whereabouts was a struggle. FleetChaser continues to save us a TON of money and allows us to give our clients better timing and a better product. I can’t say enough great things about Fleet Chaser!!!
The location monitoring has also been a highly used feature, having visibility to where your fleet is has been a game-changer for our business.
