Toilet trailer tracking: How Fortis Hire enhanced fleet efficiency and reduced costs with ABAX Fleet
Fortis Hire, a leading UK provider of luxury and standard portable toilet hire, faced challenges in managing its growing fleet efficiently.
Fortis Hire needed better visibility over vehicle movements, optimised route planning, and improved customer service. To achieve these goals, Fortis Hire implemented ABAX Fleet, a comprehensive vehicle tracking system designed to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Challenges
Before integrating ABAX Fleet, Fortis Hire encountered several operational issues:
Limited fleet visibility – Without real-time tracking, it was difficult to monitor vehicle locations and give customers accurate ETAs.
High fuel costs – Inefficient route planning resulted in increased mileage and excessive fuel consumption.
Inaccurate delivery scheduling – The lack of live tracking made it difficult to provide customers with precise delivery times.
Inefficient resource allocation – Poor visibility of fleet movements led to scheduling inefficiencies and wasted operational hours.
Fortis Hire needed a fleet management solution that could provide real-time tracking, improve fuel efficiency, and ensure accurate delivery scheduling.
Solution: Implementing ABAX Fleet
