Challenge	The Clintar Ottawa team had been using a GPS tracking system for their fleet, but the system was not performing as expected. The system was not updated often, some devices were not working properly, and some were not working at all.

As a result, the franchise had let their fleet tracking program decline to roughly half of their assets. With half the information, they were prone to mistakes when making important decisions.

The cloud-based software is much easier to work with, and the tracking has been more than reliable making the job of managing the fleet a great deal more effective. Read More Log in to view content
