Atlas Glass opens a mobile window of opportunity

Being able to track an entire fleet of glazier’s vans and allocate jobs based on knowing their real-time location has meant huge savings in travel time and fuel costs for Atlas Glass...

 

The challenge
Atlas Glass was looking to replace an outdated RT system with a new communications solution for their mobile workforce - one that would allow them to optimise productivity levels, while also reining in high telecommunications costs.

The solution
Vodafone remedied the situation with a blend of 3G technology, wireless broadband, mobile services and their talkZoneZero business plan.

Plus, Vodafone's dedicated partner team sourced a third-party wireless vehicle tracking solution, Navman. As a result, Atlas Glass slashed overall communcation costs by 42%, saving thousands every month. They now direct their mobile workforce with pinpoint accuracy, dramatically reducing downtime, unnecessary travel and enhancing customer response times.
