Case Study: Hanson Plywood Limited achieves real-time delivery visibility and a greener, more efficient fleet with Geotab

Hanson Plywood Limited Improving Customer Experience and Efficiency with Innovative Fleet Management

Hanson Plywood Limited, a Halifax-based timber panel importer and distributor with a 13-vehicle HGV fleet, needed better visibility of its vehicles to give customers accurate delivery times and reduce unsafe driver phone calls. As a medium-sized business committed to high technical and environmental standards, the company sought a real-time fleet monitoring system that also measured vehicle and driver performance.

Hanson Plywood installed Geotab’s GO device and MyGeotab platform, a plug-and-play telematics solution that provides GPS tracking, engine and battery health, g-force monitoring and expandability, viewable on desktop and mobile. The system stopped risky driver calls, enabled precise arrival predictions and smarter route planning, improved maintenance through fault alerts, and delivered fuel- and CO2-monitoring for cost and environmental gains—supporting the company’s ISO 14001 goals and boosting customer satisfaction.
