Continuing its policy of using leading edge technology to improve customer service, the Meachers Global Logistics has installed Internet based satellite tracking throughout its fleet. The award-winning Quartix vehicle tracking system ensures the company has real time information on its vehicles which is accessible online. A full log of vehicle activity is delivered by email every morning thereby enabling the company to monitor is service delivery to customers.
The information provided by the Quartix technology is helping Meachers reduce fuel costs, improve operating efficiency and safeguard both the vehicle and driver. It is also providing information regarding fuel efficiency, vehicle speeds, loading and unloading times and on time collection/delivery performance.
“The Quartix system gives us an instant, online snapshot of where any one of our vehicles is at any given time. It provides an accurate breakdown of the miles covered, the average speed, and whether or not they’re using the direct route”, said Stuart Terris, Deputy Managing Director of Meachers Global Logistics. “It is working really well enabling us to identify any problems that may arise on the driver’s route and resolving them with the driver or the customer.”
