Case Study: Hugg & Hall saves $500K in maintenance costs with Trackunit telematics

Integrating Telematics and Business Insights to Create Value

Hugg & Hall, a large equipment dealer with a fleet of over 6,000 pieces of equipment, faced significant challenges with inefficient, generic telematics systems. These systems were difficult to install, unreliable, and failed to integrate with their business operations, resulting in thousands of hours wasted annually on locating machinery and managing disjointed data. They sought a solution from Trackunit to unify their fleet view, improve operational logistics, and reduce unnecessary maintenance costs.

Trackunit implemented a flexible telematics solution featuring both software and hardware, including an API integration that seamlessly connected machine data to Hugg & Hall's ERP system. This allowed for maintenance to be based on actual machine hours rather than a fixed schedule, saving an estimated $500,000 on their scissor lift fleet alone. The results also included three successful theft recoveries and a new customer portal that improved client satisfaction by providing real-time rental data.
