Challenge:
Azzona Drainage Contractors is an independent, Australian-owned civil construction company known for its integrity and service in constructing sewer mains and pipes for major water authorities in Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs. With 45 employees and a fleet of 20 vehicles, the company faced challenges in managing vehicle locations, travel times, and overall operational efficiency. To maintain their strong reputation and improve visibility across their operations, Azzona sought a vehicle tracking system that would enable them to monitor their trucks effectively.
Now we have full control of where everyone is. Better productivity, better time management, a more efficient team. It all starts with the Teletrac Navman system.
- Sebastian Galizia, Quality Engineer
Solution:
In 2008, Azzona decided to implement Teletrac Navman’s vehicle tracking system based on recommendations from other contractors and a comprehensive presentation from their local dealer. The system allowed Azzona to track vehicle movements, calculate accurate travel times, and streamline job scheduling. Sebastian Galizia, Azzona’s Quality Engineer, noted the ease of use of the system, saying he uses the system every day to set up and timeline jobs, to see where his drivers are, and to run reports.
Results:
The implementation of Teletrac Navman has led to significant benefits for Azzona Drainage Contractors, as summarised below:
- Timesheet Savings: Approximately $2,000 saved weekly.
- Increased Productivity: Jobs completed two to three days faster, saving around $40,000 annually.
- Fuel Savings: Reduced fuel costs by 11%, equating to about $2,000 monthly.
