Innovative GPS-Based Mobile Resource Management System Increases
Employee Efficiency and Productivity While Helping Improve Customer
Satisfaction
GE Security, Inc., a business of GE Enterprise Solutions (NYSE:GE),
today announced its NavLogix™ GPS-based mobile
management system is helping fleet owners across the United States save
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in fuel and maintenance costs
while increasing employee productivity by facilitating efficient vehicle
scheduling, shortening routes between jobs and reducing unauthorized
vehicle use by drivers.
GE Security’s NavLogix is designed to help
businesses improve business practices by providing real-time analysis of
when and where company vehicles are being used. Its GPS technology
determines each vehicle’s location, while
wireless communication relays additional data to a central server.
Customers can view vehicle locations and routes using any Web browser
and receive email alerts about after hours use or speeding vehicles.
California based Sebastian Enterprises, a provider of security and
communication systems to residential and business customers, projects
cost reductions of approximately $150,000 in 2008 after adding NavLogix
to its fleet of 75 trucks. In addition, Kentucky Hauling, which
transports asphalt and crushed stone, is also using NavLogix and has
increased its operating efficiency of 56 vehicles by more than 10%. With
the ability to better match resources to the needs of the job, Kentucky
Hauling is saving thousands of dollars in fuel usage and vehicle expense.
“Sebastian Enterprises and Kentucky Hauling
have turned to NavLogix as a way to increase efficiency and decrease
inappropriate use of fleet vehicles –
resulting in lower overall costs and higher profits,”
said Dean Seavers, president and CEO, GE Security. “At
a time when fuel and maintenance costs continue to soar, companies are
looking for ways to lower expenses and NavLogix is an innovative
solution that helps them do both.”
“GE Security’s
NavLogix has become an essential business tool for Sebastian
Enterprises. We’ve enjoyed ROI of more than
400 percent, literally increasing our profits by thousands of dollars
per vehicle,” said Ron Cato, vice president
of operations, Sebastian Enterprises. “Our
decision to install NavLogix has also led to higher customer
satisfaction and reduced risk. I believe any security dealer that
operates a fleet can profit from NavLogix.”
NavLogix features a compact location monitoring unit with cellular and
GPS antennas.
