GPS Fleet Tracking for Office Equipment
Oklahoma Copier Solutions' Journey
Have you ever been curious about how companies manage a massive fleet of service vehicles and ensure each machine reaches its destination efficiently? Let's dive into the world of Oklahoma Copier Solutions, a company that's not just a veteran in the copier service industry but also an insightful user of real-time tracking technology.
Seventeen Successful Years and Counting
For over 17 years, Oklahoma Copier Solutions has been a fixture in the state, providing top-notch copier sales and services. With a total of seven locations and headquartered in charming Norman, they've become a go-to name for anyone in Oklahoma needing a reliable copier—be it a hefty order of 50 machines or a single desktop unit. From various businesses, churches, and schools to healthcare centers, attorneys, and doctors' offices, they are the Swiss Army knife when it comes to multifunction copiers.
What really has set them apart, though, is their keen understanding of leveraging technology not just in copiers, but in managing their operations. Specifically, their adoption of equipment tracking devices has notably refined their processes for asset tracking.
The Game-Changing Equipment Usage
Equipped with about 35 company vehicles, each installed with USFT tracking devices, the company has seen a revolution in the way they do things. Gone are the days of simple trust and the honor system, where sales and service personnel reported their whereabouts with a pat on the back and a nod.
Fleet tracking has pushed our accountability to a whole new level," explains a company's spokesperson. It's not just management that sees the benefits; it's an all-round game changer. Now, every move is tracked in real-time, offering a granular view of operations to dispatchers, owners, and business managers.
"The employees know that they're visible live with their name on the GPS, looking back at them from a big flat screen TV. It's a huge deal!"
But it's not all big brother; the tech aids in safety, too. A vivid recall from the company was a tornado warning provided by dispatch to a driver out in the field. A potentially life-saving redirect thanks to the tracking technology.
Upping the Productivity Game
By knowing the precise GPS location of each technician in real-time, the dispatch team can respond to service calls with a tactical precision that would make a chess grandmaster jealous. Closest tech available? You're up, and the client is none the wiser of the efficiency at play behind the scenes.
TThe historical playback isn't just a tool to check on what happened yesterday. It's concrete evidence that can refute unwarranted claims, like an accusation of speeding. Proof that no, sir, our driver was not flooring it. Thanks to GPS, justice prevails, and the reputation stays intact.
And then there's the tale of the stolen vehicle from the Bricktown ballpark garage. With the quick thinking and the tracking on their side, the Oklahoma Copier Solutions team could direct the police to the culprit. A modern-day copier cowboy roundup of lost or stolen equipment.
Sticking with GPS - Why They'll Never Go Back
The spokesperson slips into reflection, pondering on what it would be like without GPS tracking. "I don't know that we'll ever use all of the technology, because there's so much with it for the folks that use it all day, every day. The dispatchers. I know that if they didn't have it, it would be a big difference."
It’s clear that the benefits have cemented the ability to a track vehicles location as an essential tool, one that Oklahoma Copier Solutions swears by, as it reaps dividends in productivity, safety, and peace of mind.
In closing, it's easy to see how Oklahoma Copier Solutions has managed to remain at the forefront of the copier solutions industry in the state. They've not just sold and serviced machines; they've embraced technology in every facet, making sure they're equipped to deliver exceptional service reliably and safely. Tracking for equipment with GPS, in their view, is not just a luxury—it's an investment that's paid for itself many times over and one that they cannot envision doing without.
