About The Customer
AEC Trucking is a rapidly growing company based in Elgin, Texas. They specialize in hauling aggregate, such as rock and sand, using end dump trailers and super dumps. The company was established in 2006 and has experienced significant growth since 2015. They operate a fleet of over 70 trucks, including company-owned trucks, lease operators, and owner operators. AEC Trucking prides itself on its efficiency and reliability, and is always looking for ways to streamline its operations and reduce costs.
The Challenge
AEC Trucking, a Texas-based company specializing in hauling aggregate, experienced rapid growth over a span of three years, expanding their fleet from 30 to over 70 trucks. The company was struggling with their existing system which was unable to handle the complexities of their industry, including ticketing, invoicing, payroll, and payments to owner operators. The system was also incapable of managing different rates for billing, drivers, owner operators, leased owner operators, and brokers. The company was in dire need of a robust and efficient system that could handle these variables and streamline their operations.
The Solution
AEC Trucking adopted Axon Software in March 2019 to address their operational challenges. Axon Software provided a comprehensive solution that could handle the complexities of their industry, including ticketing, invoicing, payroll, and payments to owner operators. The software also allowed for the management of different rates for billing, drivers, owner operators, leased owner operators, and brokers. Axon's robust system enabled AEC Trucking to be more reliable, with almost zero mistakes in billing or payments. The software also allowed for detailed breakdowns of invoices, making it easier for customers to understand their charges. Additionally, Axon's ticket app was so powerful that it eliminated the need for a dedicated position, saving the company at least $35,000 a year.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
