Lower Operating Costs

“As a national supplier of printing, imaging, graphic arts, packaging and maintenance supplies and equipment, our focus at Unisource is to design single-source just-in-time supply programs that increase productivity and lower costs, with the ultimate goal of improving profitability for our customers. Some of the areas where Unisource expects to see an important payback with the Shaw Mobile technology are driver safety, fuel savings, tracking and tracing orders and reduced communication costs.”

"The ease of use offered through the versatile search capability to track and trace orders will reduce the effort for our dispatchers and customer service professionals as well as provide faster information to our customers."

Raymond Kung, Vice President, Logistics, Unisource

"We have been using the Mobile Computing Platform on our LTL trucks for years, and now we have implemented Shaw Tracker in our city vehicles. We were able to replace our tachograph system with Shaw Tracker and we now have access to better data. Since adopting Shaw Tracker it has been much easier to pinpoint where our trucks are in our city fleet. Shaw Tracker has also allowed us to improve our drivers’ daily efficiency and taken a task away from them. Having the ability to print out the reports and compare them to driver productivity sheets is also a huge advantage for us.”

John McKevitt, President, McKevitt Trucking Ltd.

"Shaw Tracker has allowed us to automate IFTA fuel tax filing, replace tachographs and automatically monitor fleet operations. Monitoring actual routes, speeds, service times and idle times is a good first step in reducing fuel costs and improving the productivity and safe operation of our fleet. We have decreased idle time by at least 15% and see that number increasing.”
Gerry Gerber, Fleet Operations Manager, Home Hardware

“We had a fundamental requirement to increase our asset visibility. Due to ever-rising operating costs we want to ensure that we are utilizing our assets as efficiently as possible. With Trailer Tracks we are expecting to increase our trailer utilization by 15%. Our ultimate goal is to do more with what we have.”

Marcus Pryce-Jones, President, Concord Transportation Inc.

"We have been a Shaw Tracking customer for over 10 years and have watched the development and progress of the Mobile Computing Platform with interest as it relates to providing a navigation tool to our drivers. Given the complexities and challenges of our business model with some of our unique routing requirements combined with the uncontrollable rise in fuel costs, the ability to save miles in the routing process and give drivers point instructions related to specific routes is paramount to the success of the company. Navigation provides our company with the business tools we require to drive out costs, increase safety and meet customers’ expectations."

Paul Geiger, President, Darcol International Inc.

"We are committed to providing our company with the technology that enables the organization to maintain the flexibility and cost advantages required within such a competitive and complex transportation environment. Navigation saves us money and improves the drivers’ experience across our fleet."

Dave Belley, President, Hyndman Transport

"The Performance Monitoring application improves communication between dispatch and our drivers. Extensive dashboards provided by the Fuel Manager module allow us to monitor vehicle and driver performance, making our drivers more aware of the operational costs of our trucks and contributing to the overall efficiency of the business. With a driver incentive program in place, Fuel Manager also now helps to increase our drivers’ incentives to reach targeted goals.”

Steve Hibbert, Owner, SM Freight Inc.

"Shaw Tracking's Performance Monitoring has helped us reduce our fuel cost by 12 to 15%; it also helped us benchmark our drivers as a means of paying incentives. With the ability to monitor our drivers' idle time, speeds and over-revs, we're able to add incentives to our drivers who perform better, which works as a great retention tool. The savings achieved during the first year justified our purchase cost of the entire system and allowed us to see a payback within two years."

Paul Eassons, President, Eassons Transportation Ltd.

"We continue to be impressed with the technology that Shaw Tracking has provided. We will be able to implement Automated Hours of Service in our entire fleet without having to purchase any new hardware. For Challenger, with 1,500 vehicles, there are huge advantages associated with this kind of transition including obvious hardware cost savings as well as the convenience of not having to physically route all our vehicles into a terminal in order to upgrade the hardware.”
