Case Study: Misericordia University achieves rapid stolen-vehicle recovery and improved driver safety with Azuga Fleet

Misericordia recovers stolen vehicle

Misericordia University in Dallas, PA, under Director of Campus Safety Bob Zavada, needed a reliable way to track and manage its fleet after drivers frequently couldn’t verify locations during incidents and supervisors wanted visibility into employee vehicle use and unauthorized activity. The university also faced real-world risks—most notably a stolen campus van—that exposed the limits of having no GPS tracking in place.

After enrolling in Azuga Fleet through their insurer, the university gained real-time GPS breadcrumbs, speed and location data that enabled police to recover the stolen van, supported incident investigations, and allowed managers to monitor daily performance and unauthorized use. The program helped avoid a potential $25,000 claim, delivered insurance premium discounts via PHLYTRAC, and provided ongoing operational and safety benefits with potential to expand into maintenance management.
