Bottom Line Benefits

Investing in technology should always boost efficiencies and produce a positive ROI. GPS technology delivers those efficiencies, and can also deliver a substantial ROI by simply monitoring four basic “driving behaviors”.

Immediately after installation our customers see a 15% increase in productivity due to better driver accountability.

Our customers rave about our GPS fleet tracking and management solution because it increases the overall efficiency and productivity of their mobile workforces. The following is a brief look at the some of the areas where savings can be achieved.

Unauthorized Usage

Although in some cases employee abuse of company vehicles may be far greater, by even eliminating a small figure of 2 KM a day of unauthorized usage with an operating cost of $0.44/per KM, your company will save $0.88 per vehicle on a daily basis.

Unauthorized Usage (2 KM) x Vehicle Operating Cost per KM ($0.44) = $0.88 Reduction

Unauthorized Use Savings: $0.88 Day

Speed Alerts

Referencing available figures from the US Department of Energy, every 10 KM driven over 90 KM can equate to paying an additional $0.05 per litre for fuel.

Therefore, if your fleet travels 25 KM a day at 110 Km/h, with vehicles that receive a fuel economy of 18 L/100km, their vehicles will be using 4.5 liters of fuel. Factoring in the additional $0.05 per liter, that’s an additional cost of $0.46 per day in fuel.

Driving Distance (25 KM) ÷ Fuel Economy (18 L\100Km) x Extra cost per liter for each 10 Km\h over 90 Km\h ($0.05) xVehicle Speed 110 Km\h (20 Km\h over = x2) = Additional Fuel Costs ($0.46)

Speed Alerts Savings: $0.46 Day

Idle Time Monitoring

According to the US Department of Energy, the average fleet vehicle burns 2.25 litres of fuel for every hour of idling. If your company were to reduce idling by 30 minutes per day, and assuming the cost of fuel was $1.00 per litre, that would amount to a savings of $1.13 per day.

Idle Fuel Usage (2.25 L per hour ) x Idle Time (30 min) x Fuel Cost ($1.00 per litre) = Fuel Savings $1.13 per day

Idle Time Savings: $1.13 Day

Vehicle Maintenance

This result is obtained by saving 1% on fuel economy by ensuring proper vehicle maintenance throughout the fleet. This does not include fuel economy savings that could be generated by improved air filtration and elimination of faulty oxygen sensors.

Monthly Fuel Consumption (3,000 KMs driven ÷ 18L\100KM = 540 L x $1.00 per litre = $540) x 1% Reduction x Number of Vehicles

Vehicle Maintenance Savings: $0.25 Day

By simply monitoring four operational variables, ResQ’s technology can save your company almost $2.75 a day, nearly $60 a month!
