关于客户
The customer in this case study is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a state government in the United States. The Commonwealth has a fleet of 9,886 vehicles that are used by various government agencies. The fleet management is overseen by the Department of General Services (DGS), led by Fleet Manager Steve Weidner. The DGS was tasked with the challenge of reducing the fleet size by 20% as part of a mandate by the Governor to make government work smarter and more efficiently while spending less money.
挑战
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was faced with the challenge of reducing its fleet size by 20% as part of a mandate by the Governor to make government work smarter and more efficiently while spending less money. The Commonwealth's fleet consisted of 9,886 vehicles, many of which were underutilized or too expensive to maintain. The existing fleet management practices were not optimal, and there was a lack of transparency about the size and status of the fleet. The challenge was to downsize the fleet while maintaining current transportation services for Commonwealth employees.
解决方案
The DGS, led by Fleet Manager Steve Weidner, used a systematic and transparent approach to effectively downsize the fleet. They audited the fleet to determine its true size and published the number publicly. They expanded the use of their fleet management software, FleetFocus, throughout the whole enterprise, which allowed them to extract the data they needed to understand which vehicles should be eliminated, replaced or reassigned. They instituted one comprehensive fleet policy that assigned vehicles based on documented business need, rather than politics or preference. They contracted with a third-party for management of temporary transportation services, providing agencies and employees a third option for transportation. They also collaborated with the Office of Administration and Office of the Budget to align Fleet and Travel Policies, developing tools to empower employees to follow the new policies and procedures.

Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.
Case Study
Zonar Takes the Wheel with a M2M Solution
Zonar’s fleet management solutions collect, report and analyze data before, during and after a vehicle’s trip. The company needed Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity to enable communication between in-vehicle devices and back-end systems. To deliver high volumes of potentially sensitive information from and to moving vehicles – and keep pace with its rapid business growth – Zonar wanted a highly secure solution that it could easily manage and that had the required national and global reach.
