Case Study: John O'Conner Grounds Maintenance achieves optimised fleet operations with Quartix

John O’Conner Grounds Maintenance - Customer Case Study

John O'Conner Grounds Maintenance is a UK landscaping business with over 500 staff and 250+ vehicles that needed to minimise environmental impact, control operating costs and prove driver activity across a large, dispersed fleet. With customer queries, public accusations and under‑utilisation risks, management needed a reliable way to monitor movements, improve driver safety and demonstrate compliance for tenders and insurance.

They implemented Quartix vehicle tracking (since 2004) to capture real‑time and historic GPS data, alerts for out‑of‑hours use and immobility, OBD plug‑and‑track installation, nearest‑vehicle lookup and driving‑score reporting used for coaching and incentives. The system improved utilisation, provided rapid evidence for incidents, reduced fuel and repair costs tied to safer driving, boosted customer confidence and helped secure RoSPA Gold and Management of Road Risk recognition.
