Use Case

At the beginning of the journey, many companies do not pay attention to their fleet condition, all they care are regular services and that is it. One of the first customers of Rubyfleet – STL Truckers LLC started noticing the problem during the pandemic. At first they had no metrics at all, they were struggling to calculate costs for each truck, because all information about trucks were scattered in different sources like email, paper, spreadsheets and messengers.

Previously, the company had been using a manual system to track and manage their fleet, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. This led to lengthy periods of downtime as the company struggled to keep up with demand. By switching to a digital system, the company was able to automate many of their processes and improve efficiency. The new system provided real-time tracking of vehicles and shipments, as well as tools for tracking and analyzing data such as vehicle maintenance and driver performance. As a result of the switch to the digital system, the company was able to significantly reduce downtime, from an average of 54 days per year to just 1.6 days per year. So now company is selling part of their assets as they reached the peak of efficiency. So if you are interested in purchasing semi trucks or trailers you can email me at jayallayorov@weltlink.co
