DUBLIN and BOSTON, Oct. 27,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetmatics Group PLC (NYSE: FLTX), a
leading global provider of mobile workforce solutions for
service-based businesses of all sizes delivered as
software-as-a-service (SaaS), today announced that customer Joyride
Coffee, a coffee distribution company, has told Fleetmatics they
experienced improved efficiency and productivity gains throughout
their business after implementing Fleetmatics
RoutistTM.
Fleetmatics Routist is an intelligent routing
optimization solution that systematically builds
cost-effective, customer-friendly routes for fleets. It calculates
and deploys route plans to drivers in the field, and features
real-time and historical data that gives users a holistic view into
routing performance.
Joyride Coffee tells Fleetmatics that since implementing
Fleetmatics, they have seen improvements in driver safety, their
ability to balance driver workload, and a reduction in traffic
violations. Additionally, Joyride's management now spends far less
time worrying about where their drivers are or fixing small routing
details, which has improved the overall quality of life at the
company.
"We deliver in Manhattan, which
is a challenge and we needed a system that would take everything
into account and determine our routes for us," said Adam Belanich, President of Joyride Coffee.
"Before Fleetmatics, we had to manually determine routes, which was
especially challenging if we needed to move any orders around. Now,
it is much easier to tweak the routes. We have fewer headaches and
it's a huge time saver."
Joyride Coffee has three locations in New York, San
Francisco, and Los Angeles.
In Manhattan, a fleet of trucks
leave Joyride every day and deliver coffee to locations all over,
covering up to 18 miles of the city.
"Routing a fleet of vehicles can be complex and time consuming,"
said Todd Ewing, Director of Product
Marketing for Fleetmatics. "If you're a dispatcher for a small
business, the number of potential routes for the day can easily
reach the billions. With Fleetmatics Routist, Joyride Coffee has
told us they've seen faster and better balanced routes and they
continue to see benefits that help to improve their overall
business's efficiency."
