"We have Azuga running in all our vehicles, while still paying out the rest of our contract with another company. You set the gold standard with price and service."
John Phillips
Service Manager
Situation
After using a leading tracking solution for some time, Acree wanted to find a more cost-effective option. The service manager deployed an alternative; however, reporting was inconsistent, GPS data was inaccurate, and real-time driver performance information was not available. The search continued, and Acree contacted Azuga.
Goals
Acree hoped a new solution could help them accomplish the following:
- Reduce GPS tracking costs.
- Promote safer driving in a territory known for aggressive driving.
- Reduce the number of accidents.
- Gain insight through accurate, detailed reports.
- Minimize vehicle downtime during tracker installation.
Solution
Acree chose Azuga Fleet, complete with Azuga FleetMobile for drivers. Azuga worked closely with Acree to ensure implementation was smooth, and reports were configured to meet custom requirements. Because Fleet includes unlimited support, Acree can count on Azuga whenever assistance is needed or new custom reports are required.
Installation
Acree installed Azuga OBDII tracking devices in its vehicles—no professional installation services were required. Because the process was so simple, each vehicle was back on the road in minutes.
Safety
Real-Time Driver Feedback
The Azuga OBDII tracking device provides instantaneous in-car alerts to notify drivers when hard braking, quick acceleration, and aggressive cornering behaviors occur. As a result, driving behavior can be adjusted on the spot.
Safety Reports
Whether viewed on the Fleet dashboard in real time—or received via email at scheduled intervals—management can easily stay abreast of driver performance, including specific areas for improvement.
Results
Safety-First Mentality
Capitalizing on the driver scoring features that Fleet provides, Acree Air challenged all drivers to achieve and maintain a driver score of 90 or better. Motivated by a little friendly competition, drivers increased their average driver score from 84 to over 94 in a matter of months.
Average Driver Score
Safety to Savings
Improvements in driver performance reduced the company's accident rate from two to zero. With safety data from Azuga Fleet in hand, Acree approached its insurance company. As a result of its documented safety record, Acree reduced premiums by $80,000 annually.
Next Steps
Acree plans to use Azuga Fleet to reduce fuel costs, improve route management, and manage fleet vehicle maintenance.
