Case Study: On Target Utility Services achieves $40,000 savings and real-time fleet visibility with Xora

Utility Contractor Powers Up Fleet Management Solution for Higher Performance and Savings

On Target Utility Services, a Maine-based contractor providing locating, metering, smart grid, telecommunications and power line services across the Northeast, needed a more reliable fleet-management system after its previous solution proved unreliable, provided only weekly data, and couldn’t scale with growth. The company tasked its fleet specialist with finding a replacement that would exceed the old system’s performance, leverage existing partnerships with Enterprise Fleet Management and a wireless carrier, and reduce costs.

On Target implemented Enterprise’s EMRM, which combines a hard‑mounted GPS tracker, a Garmin Nuvi for driver navigation/communication, and Xora’s cloud-based web management app for near‑real‑time GPS, alerts, Google Maps display and configurable reports. The new system improved data accuracy, consolidated billing and vendor support, and integrated with On Target’s fleet database; projected savings are roughly $40,000 (about 25%) on equipment and installation for 210 vehicles, the company is already saving ~$6,600/month, recovered stolen vehicles using GPS, and plans to expand into automated scheduling, dispatching and messaging.
