• Transfradelos, founded in 1990, is a cargo transport company based in Vila Nova de Famalicão, and implemented Frotcom to optimize its truck fleet and improve forestry operations. Avelino Reis, CEO of Transfradelos, shared: “Frotcom's support has been 5-star, and we've always been well taken care of in all our requests. In addition, Frotcom's system has enabled us to optimize our fleet regarding trucks and forestry processing. It has given us a better idea of our operators' working times, which has allowed us to simplify fleet operations.”
• For SERVIROAD, a company focused on transportation and logistics services, efficient fuel management is crucial. Noé Bernardes, TAPA Controller and Security Consultant, highlights how Frotcom helped reduce fuel costs: “Since implementing the Frotcom software, we have achieved a reduction of around 0.8 liters in the company's overall average. We cover approximately 1 000 000 km per month across the entire fleet, which translates into direct savings of approximately 4500€. Frotcom revealed itself as a strategic supplier in the company’s organization, accompanying and creating solutions for the challenges that our customers pose. Moreover, they created solutions that did not previously exist on the market, such as Fleet alarms without the driver's action, being the entire process managed from the monitoring center.”
• Evcapitis, a passenger transport company, has integrated electric vehicles into its fleet, and Frotcom plays a crucial role in helping the company achieve its fleet management goals. Paulo Costa, owner of Evcapitis, shared: "Frotcom is a complete fleet management solution. The main map view, which includes several slide windows, provides us with all the information we require in real-time. The easy way you navigate to a more detailed view is a great help. A complete API guarantees that what we are planning for the future will be able to be implemented.
