NexTraq Customer Success Stories

Challenge:
Established in 1972, Accardi Foods, the leader
in specialty foods and beverage located in the
Medford, Massachusetts area, was looking for a
solution to track its drivers and fleet. Joe Russo,
Director, knew that there were discrepancies
between the hours drivers worked and what
was actually reported.
Solution:
Based on a referral, Russo selected the
® Fleet Tracking solution due to its
affordable pricing and ease of use. Russo,
said, “The business associate that referred
the solution allowed me to ‘test
drive’ the application at their office – I found
the application extremely intuitive with the
functionality we needed to improve our drive
productivity.
Results:
Within the first few days of the
implementation, Russo was able to identify
drivers that were ‘padding’ their hours and
address the situation directly with the offending
employees. The result? Russo, said, “Overtime
hours were reduced by 50%, saving Accardi
Foods more than $80,000 a year in overhead
costs.”
The Fleet Tracking solution acts as a
‘virtual time card’ that enables Russo to verify
hours worked vs. hours posted by his drivers.
Overtime inaccuracies have been eliminated as
the drivers know that their driving and behavior
is being monitored.
Russo also praises the reliability of the
solution. He says, “To my knowledge,
we have never had a problem with the
application s reliability and uptime.”
The family-owned food and beverage company
has plans to continue to automate its fleet with
routing and dispatch functionality. Committed
to providing their customers with quick
delivery and product reliability, Accardi Foods
continues to provide exceptional service to fine
restaurants, caterers, food stores, country clubs
and supermarkets in the New England area.
With a subsidiary company, Express Plus,
there is no limit to the company’s growth and
success.

Challenge:
Established in 1983, Acres Group, a premier
professional landscaping company with three
offices and nurseries located in Illinois,
needed a complete GPS fleet tracking solution
to accurately monitor their vehicles. Jeff
Dumas, Vice President of Acres Group North,
said, “We originally had a low cost solution
that didn’t provide enough functionality for
our company. Because we lease space for
our trucks throughout our market area, it was
important to track vehicle movement at a
moments notice.”
Solution:
Due to the lack of functionality, Dumas
decided to implement the NexTraqŠ Fleet
Tracking solution due to its ease of use and
additional capabilities, including its reporting
and alerts features. Dumas, said, “The sales
and implementation process for more than 300
vehicles went extremely well.”
Results:
Since implementing the NexTraq Fleet Tracking
solution, Dumas was able to recover $30,000
worth of equipment and vehicles
on more than one occasion. Dumas said,
“Through the alert functionality within the
NexTraq solution, I receive a text message if
any vehicle in our fleet moves before 5 a.m.
In fact, I was able to use NexTraq to notify the
police that a theft had occurred. One of our
managers was watching the vehicles movement
on the NexTraq solution and was able to guide
the police to the vehicle in time to arrest the
thieves.”
Additionally, Dumas cites the Idle Report as a
powerful tool to decrease fuel costs across his
fleet.
Upon implementation of NexTraq, the Speed
Alert feature let Acres know that a small
percentage of drivers were exceeding posted
limits at some point during the day. With the
NexTraq solution, Acres managers receive
messages notifying them if an employee is
speeding. After a couple of weeks the speed
alerts were reduced by 92 .
Acres Group has also implemented
NexTraq Fleet DispatchŒ on several
vehicles for easy communication between
the office and its drivers. With the ability to
reduce operational costs, Acres Group can
pass those savings on to the customer. Its core
corporate tenet, “commitment to excellence for
knowledge and customer service,” will keep the
Acres Group moving forward for years to come.

Challenge:
In 2008, Baltimore County executives decided
to implement a fleet tracking solution to better
manage their Department of Public Works
activities and automate their manual processes
for tracking snow removal operations. The
biggest challenge was the limited time to
implement, as snow season would soon
be starting in the Baltimore area. With that
in mind, the management team sent out
competitive solicitations to various GPS fleet
tracking companies.
Solution:
After evaluating several solutions, Baltimore
County selected the web-based NexTraq®
Fleet Tracking solution along with its Fleet
Dispatch™ application due to NexTraq’s ability
to ramp up the organization quickly. Rob
Stradling, CIO of Baltimore County, said,
“NexTraq was extremely quick to market and
was able to perform the installation locally,
minimizing the number of resources we had to
allocate to the project.”
Results:
Chip Hiebler, Senior Project Manager for
Baltimore County, said, “We saw results
quickly. As an organization, we have virtually
eliminated unauthorized vehicle use while
increasing our fleet’s efficiency and decreasing
fuel costs. We have also been able to optimize
our routes for better service with the ClearPath
routing functionality and Fleet Dispatch
application in each Agency where we’ve
implemented.”
Stradling adds, “The reporting functionality
has been extremely beneficial. We use the
Idle Report to reduce our fuel costs, but
also to reduce our carbon emissions as well.
Baltimore County is committed to being a green
organization for our community.”
Dana Walker, Project Portfolio Manager
for Baltimore County attributed the Alert
functionality within the NexTraq Fleet Tracking
solutoin for helping to keep the fleet’s risk level
down. Walker said, “The Speed Alerts allow
us to manage and rectify any driver speeding
issues, which is a tremendous benefit to us as
we are self-insured.”
Hiebler is also impressed with NexTraq’s
reliability. He said, “Since we have
implemented the NexTraq Fleet Management
solution, we have had 100% uptime and no
system issues.” Having installed devices on
651 of their vehicles, the County hopes to have
2,000 vehicles implemented by the beginning
of the year.
With Baltimore County’s “Efficient, effective
and accountable” initiative, it’s no wonder
the organization was recognized as a Top
Ten Digital County Survey Winner. Stradling
concludes, “We like to stay on the forefront of
technology. That includes NexTraq’s GPS fleet
tracking solution as well as other products that
enable us to work more efficiently.”

Established in 1986, Capeway Roofing
Systems, Inc. was rapidly expanding from a
small local business to a roofing and sheet
metal provider servicing all of New England,
as well as New York and New Jersey. With
numerous construction vehicles crossing state
lines, Capeway needed a solution to track
driver activity and performance.
Solution:
Dion Calheta, Project Manager for Capeway
Roofing, said, “We selected the NexTraq®
GPS Fleet Tracking solution because no other
vendor offered the robust functionality we
needed.” A key business reason for selecting
the NexTraq solution was the ability to track
drivers’ actual worked hours versus the hours
that they put on their timecards. Calheta adds,
“By using the reporting within the NexTraq Fleet
Management solution, we were able to minimize
driver time discrepancies and realize R.O.I.
within two months.”
Results:
Capeway Roofing used the NexTraq solution's
“start/stop” report as a virtual timecard to
account for employee hours. Calheta, said,
“Quickly doing the math, we realized that we
were saving tens of thousands of dollars just
on this one feature.” Additionally, Capeway
Roofing used the “Speed Alert” notifications
to track the safety of its drivers, significantly
influencing drive accountability.
Calheta, said, “We used to receive 60 to 70
emails a week on speed alerts resulting in
disciplinary action. Now, we receive five to six
emails a week.” That’s more than a 90 percent
reduction in email alerts.
Implementing a GPS vehicle tracking solution
has provided Capeway Roofing with additional
savings. Calheta, said, “The ability to find
vehicles in real-time has lowered our insurance
premiums. In fact, our insurance company’s
safety division uses us as model for other
businesses for the anti-theft and speed alert
functionality.”
As Capeway Roofing continues to expand,
they know they have the right solution in place
to proactively manage their drivers and their
vehicles.

Challenge:
Eagle Medical Service, a leading ambulatory
service in the Memphis and Jackson areas,
needed a GPS fleet tracking solution to manage
its impressive growth and to monitor its
vehicles to provide superior customer service.
With two offices and 25 vehicles and growing,
Larry Riedel, Operations Manager for Eagle
Medical Service, said, “We started looking at
GPS fleet tracking solutions so that we could
keep track of our vehicles and assets and find
the closest vehicle to a client we
always provide on-time service to ensure our
patients’ satisfaction and comfort.”
Solution:
Riedel and team researched several solutions
and ultimately decided the NexTraqŠ GPS Fleet
Tracking VROXWLRQ was the best solution for
their business. Riedel said, “Other systems and
devices were manufactured overseas and were
cost-prohibitive. Some solutions lacked the
maintenance plan that came with our NexTraq
purchase. Hidden costs with other providers’
solutions led us to select the NexTraq Fleet
Tracking solution due to price, ease-of-use and
functionality.”
Results:
solution, Eagle Medical Service’s fuel costs
have dramatically been reduced. Riedel said,
“By keeping track of our vehicles, issuing
speed alerts and monitoring the Idle Report,
we have been able to reduce fuel costs by 20
percent.”
Because Riedel could monitor his vehicles and
driver behavior, Eagle Medical Service was able
to switch insurance providers and received
such a substantial discount, the NexTraq
VROXWLRQ will pay for itself three times over in
the first year. Riedel adds, “After the first half
of the year, we are seeing pure profit from the
NexTraq solution.”
Other benefits for Eagle Medical Service? Riedel
says increased driver productivity through
route optimization and a reduced workload
for fleet dispatchers. Additionally, Riedel cites
the ease-of-use as major reason the NexTraq
solution has been adopted company-wide, “It is
very easy to implement and I can literally train
people over the phone due to the intuitive user
interface.”
Riedel adds, “We have been able to maintain
our tremendous growth due to the NexTraq
Fleet Tracking solution. We have gone from 14
calls in a month, to more than 1,300 calls in a
month, while winning repeat business because
we pride ourselves on being on time for every
call. Organizationally, it’s our philosophy to
always consider the patient first.”
Eagle Medical Service has plans to implement
Fleet DispatchŒ, an integrated dispatching
solution to provide even greater two-way
communication between his office and his
drivers. Riedel adds, “Our drivers realize the
benefits; we get them to their locations safely
and quickly and get them home as soon as
possible.”
By providing superior customer service to
patients and hospital services, Riedel sees
no end to their growth Riedel said, “We will
continue to maintain our growth while focusing
on our greatest asset – our people.”

Challenge:
Established in 1949, Estes Heating & Air
Conditioning provides HVAC, plumbing and
electrical services to both residential and
commercial clients throughout the metro
Atlanta area. Estes was looking for a solution
to improve its GPS mapping capabilities and
integrate a fleet tracking solution with their
existing service automation software, SAWIN®.
Jeffrey Allison, IT Administrator for Estes
Heating & Air Conditioning, said, “The SAWIN
application gives us the ability to automate
most of our office processes, making us more
efficient. We were looking for a fleet tracking
solution that would integrate seamlessly with
it.”
Solution:
Allison selected the NexTraq® Fleet Tracking
solution because of its affordable pricing and
ease-of use. He was able to integrate the
SAWIN application with the NexTraq solution
through NexTraq’s Web Services, an open
platform that enables integration of its fleet
data with third party applications such as
accounting and billing, route optimization and
mobile workforce management applications.
Results:
Allison said, “The tight integration between
SAWIN and NexTraq made our dispatchers’
jobs easier as they didn’t have to toggle
between screens to do their job – it became a
much more efficient process.”
Additionally, the dispatchers found NexTraq’s
reporting functionality to be the most beneficial
as they hold employees accountable to their
daily schedules. Allison cites fuel savings and
finding the closest vehicle to a location as
added benefits.
With such a large metro area to service, Allison
created zones for each area within Atlanta.
Allison said, “Two vehicles can be very close
together, but in different zones. If we can find
the closest vehicle to a service call, we dispatch
that vehicle and provide better customer
service and faster ETAs.”
The ability to know where the vehicles are at
all times has increased driver productivity by
13 percent. Allison says, “They are able to take
care of our customers more efficiently, often
taking another service call not on their daily
schedule. The benefits are two-fold: we help
more customers and they get home faster at
the end of their work day.”
An added benefit? Estes can locate stolen
vehicles before the police do. They were able
to recover more than $30,000 of equipment
because they could track the vehicle to its
exact location.
As one of the top 5 percent of all heating and
air contractors in the country, it’s easy to see
that Estes will experience even greater success
and growth in the future. Allison concludes
“We have a long-term relationship with NexTraq
and it’s a win-win partnership.”

Challenge:
Established in 2000, Pipe Works Services,
a customer-focused plumbing, heating and
air conditioning company servicing several
counties in the New Jersey area, was looking
to make a switch for its old GPS fleet tracking
solution once their lease expired. Paul Giglio,
President and Owner of Pipe Works Services,
said, “We were very unhappy with our previous
fleet management provider and were actively
looking to change solutions. We were referred
to NexTraq® by ACOWIN, a dispatching
integration partner.”
Solution:
Giglio selected the NexTraq Fleet Tracking
solution because of its intuitive interface,
reporting capability and automated email alert
functionality. Giglio states, “The implementation
of NexTraq was extremely easy and training
was a matter of creating a username and
password. The solution is that easy to use.”
Results:
solution, Giglio has been able to effectively
monitor his vehicle and drivers’ behavior while
optimizing his fleet operations. As Giglio states,
“You can’t measure what you don’t know.”
The alerts functionality within the NexTraq
Fleet Management solution has been especially
useful for Pipe Works Services. By setting up
alerts, Giglio is immediately notified if a vehicle
in his fleet is moving after hours or on the
weekends.
Additionally, he created geofences around each
driver’s home to monitor drive behavior and
hold them accountable for their actions. Giglio,
said, “Because the drivers know their behavior
and workday profiles are monitored, we have
increased overall fleet productivity by 35%
while reducing fuel costs by 20%.”
Giglio also uses the maintenance alerts for all of
the vehicles in his fleet to extend the life of his
vehicles and cut down on the wear and tear of
his fleet.
When asked about NexTraq as a company,
Giglio has only positive things to say. Giglio,
says, “The sales process was fabulous and
my account representative did what he said
we was going to do. Additionally, the customer
service is great. Within an hour of placing a
call to customer service, we had an installation
issue dealt with immediately.”
With plans of automating processes throughout
its organization, Pipe Works Services plans
to go paperless to do their part as a “green”
organization and will continue to push the
technology boundaries with iPad integration
into their fleet technology. With plans to
redesign their site and ramp up their already
superior customer service, the company is on
the path for continued growth and success.

Established in 1949, Lake Truck Lines provides
commercial drilling materials and a variety of
oilfield drilling products throughout Texas and
Louisiana. With job sites in remote locations
and company expansion, Jerry Santos, General
Manager of Lake Truck Lines, began searching
for a GPS fleet tracking solution to gain a
clear view of his fleet operations and driver
productivity.
Solution:
Santos began his fleet tracking research on
Google. After investigating his options, he
chose the NexTraqŠ Fleet Tracking solutioQ
Santos said, “I chose NexTraq because of the
Fleet DispatchŒ application and its ability to
give turn-by-turn directions. I also like that the
platform is easy to learn.”
Results:
Within weeks of utilizing the NexTraq GPS
Fleet Tracking solution, Santos noticed the
increase of fleet productivity. Implementing
the Fleet Dispatch application, which provides
better communication between dispatchers
and drivers through an in-vehicle GarminŠ
device, gave Santos more visibility into his fleet
operations.
With most job sites in remote locations, Santos
needed a way to get his drivers there safely and
on time. Santos said, “Most of our job sites are
in remote places off dirt roads with no street
signs. We typically use geographical markers
to direct drivers.” Santos has peace of mind
knowing that he can communicate with his
drivers through the Garmin.
Additionally, Santos was able to reduce his
overheads costs by 15 percent with the
NexTraq Fleet Tracking solution. After getting
client complaints, Santos began reviewing his
drivers’ work. It didn’t take long for Santos to
find the offender. This employee was wasting
valuable time between pick up and drop off
sites. Santos said, “I was able to go into the
NexTraq solution, find the offender and handle
the situation accordingly. Without the ability
to investigate and bring up the evidence, we
would have lost a customer.”
