Overview Companies that rely on vehicle fleets often feel that high fuel costs are simply

beyond their control. After all, the price of petrol is set, so the only way to reduce

fuel bills is to reduce how much a vehicle travels. However, the FleetMatics

GPS Tracking System changed all that for

Silverdome Electric. According to Finian

Kilty, General Manager at Silverdome, Fleet-

Matics GPS has not only helped control the

company’s fuel bill, it has actually helped

improve customer service.

Mr. Kilty realised that his company needed

to gain tighter control of fuel costs without

sacrificing the high level of customer service

his clients expected. To achieve those

goals, Silverdome Electric decided to install

FleetMatics GPS tracking on its fleet. The

results overwhelmingly impressed Mr. Kilty

soon after the system was installed and the company has recently renewed

their contract, remaining fully committed to FleetMatics GPS.

According to Mr. Kilty, his company utilises the Live Fleet feature to know

exactly where their drivers are located and how long it will take them to

get to the next job site. This eliminates any routing discrepancies and

ensures that drivers use the quickest route possible to a job. Dis-

patchers now have the ability to locate the vehicles nearest to any

job site, thus further cutting fuel usage. The automated reports also

allow Mr. Kilty to recognise any excessive fuel usage and take the

necessary corrective actions.

In addition, the idling reports show which drivers waste fuel by

running their vehicles as climate control during hot or cold days. Sil-

verdome Electric can effectively use the information from this report to

significantly reduce idling times. “We monitor fuel usage very closely,”

said Mr. Kilty. “Average fuel use should be 220 liters to 230 liters per

above that and do something about it.”

The company makes a large number of

emergency service calls to domestic and

commercial clients. With FleetMatics GPS,

Silverdome can easily schedule service

based on routes and improve emergency

dispatching by locating the vehicle nearest

to any job site.

“We also know when our drivers are at

any site and can verify how long they were

there,” said Mr. Kilty. “We can prove that a

driver was there for an hour when a client

claims they were there only a few minutes.

It has helped us settle quite a number of customer disputes.” By improving cus-

tomer service and validating services rendered, Silverdome Electric has increased

business while also reducing fuels costs with better routing.
