Case Study: Sterling Oil Co. achieves labor-hour savings and improved employee safety with Automile

Sterling Oil Saves on Labor Hours and Drive Employee Safety with Automile

Sterling Oil Co., a 35-year heating, air and oil services business in the Lynchburg, VA area, faced limited visibility into its mobile workforce, safety concerns on the road, and customer disputes over technician arrival times. To address dispatching, payroll accuracy, fuel efficiency and employee safety, Sterling Oil Co. partnered with Automile and installed the Automile fleet tracking box.

Automile’s GPS tracking and onboarding support gave Sterling Oil Co. real-time location data, site visit proof, vehicle maintenance reminders and speeding alerts, which reduced payroll overpayments, improved employee safety, and resolved customer service disputes (e.g., confirming a technician’s hour-long visit). The company also reports proactive maintenance scheduling and expects lower insurance renewal rates as a result of safer driving—outcomes Sterling Oil Co. attributes directly to Automile.
