Case Study: Centerline Communications achieves rapid fleet expansion, 90% reduction in speeding and substantial cost savings with Geotab

Centerline Communications Managing unprecedented fleet expansion with telematics

Centerline Communications, a telecommunications infrastructure company based in W. Bridgewater, MA, scaled its fleet from about 125 to nearly 700 vehicles in four years. Rapid expansion, pandemic-related vehicle challenges, and frequent unplugging of telematics devices made it difficult to maintain visibility, pull mileage into the Enterprise Fleet Management portal, and enforce safe-driving behavior.

Centerline standardized on Ford vehicles with OEM Geotab devices, integrated Geotab with Enterprise Fleet Management, and deployed watchdog reports plus weekly KPI reporting to VPs for accountability. The changes added 500+ vehicles into one portal, stopped unplugged-device headaches (saving time and over $18,000 in fees), cut excessive speeding by 90%, reduced accidents 15% year-over-year, and yielded roughly $40,000/month in fuel- and incident-related savings.
