Case Study: Hardin-Simmons University Recovers a Stolen Vehicle in Less Than an Hour with Spireon FleetLocate

Discovered, Recovered in Less Than an Hour

Hardin-Simmons University, a 128-year-old Christian higher-education institution in Abilene, Texas, operates a small fleet of eight sedans and midsized SUVs used by student groups, athletics, and recruiters. Concerned about vehicle theft across a wide travel area, the university turned to Spireon and its FleetLocate GPS fleet tracking solution to gain real-time visibility and improve recovery readiness.

Spireon’s FleetLocate was installed across the entire fleet and quickly proved its value when a vehicle went missing. Using GPS tracking, Hardin-Simmons University located the car in less than an hour, saw that it had been driven off campus around 3 a.m., and recovered it undamaged in front of a local hotel; the system also helped the university monitor mileage and vehicle maintenance more effectively.
