OVERALL, HOW HAS YOUR COMPANY FOUND THE FUTURE FLEET SYSTEM?
“Kangaroo Bus Lines has a fleet of more than 70 vehicles operating throughout South East Queensland and other states. It is vital with a fleet this size to be able to know where your vehicles are at any given time. The Future Fleet System has proven itself to be an invaluable tool in the operation of our business.”
HAS THE FUTURE FLEET SYSTEM MADE YOUR COMPANY MORE EFFICIENT? IF SO, IN WHICH AREAS?
“The system has taken a lot of the guess work out and has reduced the down time of both drivers and vehicles.”
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE FUTURE FLEET SYSTEM TO YOUR COMPANY'S DAILY OPERATION?
“We run a live monitoring system using Future Fleet allowing us to know at a glance where in our network the vehicles are. The amount of radio time is greatly reduced by not having to request vehicle positions from drivers.”
WHAT BENEFITS HAS YOUR COMPANY FOUND SINCE USING THE FUTURE FLEET SYSTEM?
“By using the Future Fleet System we are able to obtain more precise data for the scheduling of time tables. This has reduced the time involved and given our operational staff a very powerful tool.”
