Case Study: Toromont CAT achieves routing efficiencies, fuel savings and improved safety with Geotab telematics

Toromont CAT - Customer Case Study

Toromont CAT, a heavy‑equipment dealership in Ontario with a 433‑vehicle maintenance fleet, faced rising fleet costs, inefficient routing and poor maintenance recordkeeping because service trucks operated independently and often crisscrossed territories. Without real‑time location data the company struggled with high fuel use, excessive idle time, safety incidents and limited billing transparency for customers.

By rolling out Geotab telematics across branches and centralizing dispatch, Toromont CAT gained real‑time location, maintenance alerts and driver‑behavior data that enabled smarter routing, technician reassignments, preventive maintenance and safety dispute resolution. Within a year the fleet grew ~18% while fuel expenditures fell 4% despite higher fuel prices, idle time dropped from roughly 33–40% to 3–4%, and the company achieved clearer billing transparency and improved compliance.
