Case Study: Kootenai Electric Cooperative improves FEMA compliance and fleet tracking with Zonar smart fleet management

Kootenai Electric Cooperative improves FEMA reimbursement recovery nearly 100% with Zonar

Kootenai Electric Cooperative, an Idaho utility, faced challenges with manual fleet tracking and reporting for its disaster relief work. Their arduous process for submitting expenses to FEMA for reimbursement resulted in minimal returns. They sought a new approach and partnered with Zonar Systems to implement smart fleet management technologies, including the Zonar 2010 EVIR platform.

By implementing Zonar's V3, 2010, and ZTrak solutions, KEC automated inspections and gained real-time visibility into its fleet and crew locations. This allowed for efficient asset tracking and rigorous FEMA documentation. As a result, Zonar helped KEC improve its reimbursement recovery from FEMA by nearly 100% and was directly responsible for securing reimbursement for nearly 75% of costs from a specific storm event.
