Case Study: Ipswich City Council improves asset tracking and fleet efficiency with Smartrak

Ipswich City Council saves at least 1 FTE with Smartrak

Ipswich City Council, a local government in Queensland, Australia, faced significant challenges managing its diverse fleet of over 425 vehicles and assets spread across a dozen depots. Their primary issues were an inability to locate assets efficiently and relying on outdated, month-old data for tracking odometer readings, which caused vehicles to miss servicing deadlines. The council partnered with Smartrak to implement a comprehensive GPS tracking solution.

Smartrak provided a suite of products, including AVLs, OBD-IIs, and Remoras, to track the council's various assets. The results were substantial, saving at least one full-time employee in productivity gains by allowing staff to instantly locate assets. Servicing became timely with accurate weekly mileage reports, and the council gained valuable insights into vehicle utilization and driver behavior, which helped refute insurance claims. Smartrak's solution empowered the fleet management team with the data needed to make informed decisions.
