Spanish civil works specialist, EXLAND has been collecting valuable information about its fleet’s trips and loaded and unloaded cargo since adopting Frotcom’s fleet management software.
Exland was looking for a fleet management software that could collect information on the cargo weight of each truck as most of the fleet is allocated to ore transport in mines.
The company also needed a remote download of its tachograph files. As the vehicles are often working 24/7 and it had previously been impossible to monitor the files without stopping the vehicle.
The implementation process was very smooth. In less than half an hour, the Exland team had a full understanding of everything they needed to start using Frotcom. The Frotcom Technical Support team solved additional questions after the training, in a short time.
As a result of implementing Frotcom’s technology, Exland can now monitor loading and unloading, enabling a calculation of how many trips each vehicle has made. This, in turn, means the total amount of material transported over a period of time can be worked out. EXLAND has seen routes optimized, leading to lower fuel costs, with fuel consumption decreasing by 7%. The Driving Behavior Analysis feature has also allowed the reeducation of drivers who had shown inefficient driving techniques. This led to a 12% increase in the performance of each trip traveled.
To minimize truck downtime and enable better fleet performance, Frotcom had a further advantage to offer Exland, the remote tachograph download.
Joan Hernando, Chief of Operations at Exland, said: “Frotcom is a very professional company; it shows that they have experience in the fleet management sector. We are very satisfied with their work, and we look forward to our partnership, continuing for many more years.”
