Increased Billable Hours

Midway Industrial Equipment is a fast growing full service Forklift and Material Handling Services Company. They sell both new and certified pre-owned forklifts while also providing long and short-term rentals. With two locations, they offer forklift repair services throughout Northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Qualified technicians are “on-call” 24 hours a day.

The Challenge

They wanted to improve accountability for their mechanics and overall efficiency. Fuel costs were continuing to rise and they needed to gain better control over their fleet service vehicles. Midway Industrial Forklift needed a tool to help them improve their routing and increase productivity.

The Benefits

After installing the FleetMatics GPS Tracking System, Midway Industrial saw the benefits immediately. Long idling times and unauthorized vehicle use were eliminated resulting in a 15% decrease in fuel costs. Improved efficiencies enabled them to increase daily billable hours. Also, more timely service calls improved customer service.

The Savings

"FleetMatics GPS Fleet Tracking has enabled us to bring in an additional $52,000 in revenue and save over $8,000 in fuel costs in our first year."
