6 Case Studies
A GoGPS Case Study
Toromont CAT, a multi-branch equipment dealer, faced rising fleet costs, poor routing and maintenance visibility, and a lack of billing transparency. Fleet Manager Dave Dyer sought a telematics solution to locate technicians in real time, reduce customer wait times and unnecessary miles, and improve maintenance recordkeeping — challenges he addressed by implementing GoGPS telematics across the service truck fleet.
Using GoGPS data to coordinate dispatching and reassign technicians to closer branches, Toromont CAT cut unnecessary cross-branch driving and improved routing efficiency. After the first year with GoGPS, fleet size grew ~18% while fuel expenditures fell 4% despite a 22% fuel price increase; driver idling dropped from roughly 33–40% to 3–4%, maintenance alerts and records improved to reduce audit risk, and telematics aided a safety investigation that proved a driver was not at fault.
