Chippewa Beverage,

Having completed the setup I'm extremely happy with the performance of the GO RF system.

As you know, we've used other GPS systems on a smaller scale, and our new system is significantly outperforming the old system.

I placed the RF antenna inside our warehouse since most of our route trucks are housed there at night. I thought I might need to add an antenna outside since some of our trucks are parked in back of the warehouse a few hundred feet from the antenna and our sales personnel park outside the office in front of the warehouse a couple hundred feet from the antenna. All devices are downloading with no problems inside the warehouse, in front, and in back of the warehouse. I'm more than happy to not have to manually collect GPS modules to run them every week. It also solves the problem of incomplete data when the modules didn't get put back into the vehicles in a timely manner, or "accidentally" got pulled out.

The Checkmate software is working great. I've integrated the GPS data into our sales and delivery data through MS Excel spreadsheets. This allows complex analysis of driver performance. I now know what I can expect as far as cases delivered per stop, per hour of stop time, how long lunch breaks are, etc. I can do objective driver evaluations. I'll be adding delivery standards to our union contracts when I start the next negotiations. Similarly I can now evaluate my sales force to see how much time they're spending on the job and in accounts. I can also evaluate the fuel efficiency of all my vehicles. The GPS data is a great help in determining savings by rerouting or changing call frequencies.

Obviously it's more important than ever to know what it's costing us to get the product out and how we can do it more efficiently. Thanks for providing a great product.

Best regards,

Mike

Eron,

I really needed the new units by tomorrow and I called Michelle yesterday. I was a little hesitant on the outcome of the situation. Michelle really came through for me when I needed her, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that. I am sure she did not act alone; but however it got done, it is exactly what we needed. Just thought you might like to know. Thanks again Michelle.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks a lot for getting together on the phone today to troubleshoot our GPS units. It looks like we had success without even knowing it.

We appreciate your time and will continue to invest in this system and advertise its merits to our colleagues!

I look forward to working with you again in the future.

What a difference the Marcus V6 system has made in the everyday operations of our company. As you know, we have been using this system since September of '07 and have found many more uses for the information that it can provide than we ever would of dreamed.
It is a very useful tool that helps to:
1) keep the employees time cards honest
2) keep track of the where abouts of my fleet
3) track the labor cost on jobs
4) find the nearest service tech. to route to a service a call
5) keep track of maintenance records
6) insure that my employees are where they are supposed to be
I could go on, but to sum it up we are very satisfied with this system and feel that it is worth every penny. Thank you.

In looking at different GPS systems, it became obvious it was not going to be an easy selection. After looking for several months at the different companies and their products we came up with 3 Companies and tried demonstration units from each.

GPS Fleet Solutions had the most adaptable product, with the ability to upgrade. We did not want a Live unit because we didn't need to know were the vehicles were all the time. And the monthly cost for 28 units was more than we wanted to pay each month.

We settled for the Go RF Unit because it was passive but could be upgraded to a Go live unit if we needed to.
The other area that I am impressed with is the service. It took a couple of phone calls to get the system up and running and then I get a new computer that runs on the Vista operating system. It took 3 days to get everything going again and the crew at GPSFleet Solutions has been helpful and cordial.

Two thumbs up for this product. It does just what we wanted.

Dale Wright, Fleet Service Supervisor

Webb's Refreshments Inc, TN

I just wanted to drop you a note concerning the GPS system now that it is on the entire fleet. Last year we implemented an entire new software package which included handhelds for the vending drivers. These handhelds plug into the vending machines and retrieve "DEX" data (all the activity of the machine, currency, coin, spiral turns, etc.). This allowed us to better account for our money when the drivers came back each day. Well, after all the routes were rolled out we were seeing some serious shortages. The problem was, however, the vending driver was not the only employee with keys to the machines. The supervisors and service techs also required keys for every route. So it was impossible for us to pinpoint who was stealing the money. That's when I began looking for a GPS system.

Three weeks ago we found the thief. It was a vending supervisor who had been with us for 10 years. We were finding him going to accounts with no reason. He was also 2 hours ahead (stealing the money) of the employee servicing the bill changers. The interesting aspect with the bill changers is that those keys are issued by our vault. No one has a key to those machines. He had somehow obtained one of these keys and was robbing the bill changers as well, making it look like it was the regular service man. We caught him with undeniable proof (he coughed up the stolen keys) with the aid of the GPS system and turned it into the police. Anyway, we are very pleased with the system and it is part of the office's daily routine to pull reports and cross-reference these with other reports.

Oh, and the shortages have magically disappeared. Thanks.

This is awesome. I only wish I did this long ago. I am saving money daily and I don't have the stress of not knowing were my employees have been. There has been a noticeable change. My employees are already trying to "beat the system". This tells me they have been wasting time for a very long time. They are trying to take personal cars with them to the job site and then take lunch using the personal car so I can not tell how long of a lunch break they are taking. I quickly put an end to that. I use this system as a time clock. It's awesome.

The G-4 system has worked very well for us and saves us money every month that we once paid in communications costs and monthly tracking subscription fees. It has been an excellent investment for us. My friend that operates the dishwasher service company called Labtek told me it is the "best investment he has ever made". He was able to let go of one of his four service people once he discovered what was really happening on the street. He found that his people could do much more than they were and now has the piece of mind of knowing they cannot loaf anymore. I am truly pleased with our system and do not have any complaints.

The first 3 days we used the system I found my vehicle being driven on the weekend all over town. On Friday my technician left the office and went directly to some apartment complex where he stayed all day. At $26 an hour this would have cost me $234.00 for this one instance! I suspect I've over paid him several thousand dollars.

M. Palmer, Owner

All American Termite and Pest Control, FL

I found one of my technicians was doing side jobs in the first month of using the system using my materials. The system has paid for itself in the first 30 days!

Shawn Manchette, Owner

Stafford Associates, NY

I have only had all six units installed for two days now and I have the guys confessing their sins before I even get to run the reports at the end of the day. Just the guys knowing the system is installed makes a big difference.

Ken Stafford, Owner

Burnette Surveying, FL

Well, it seems that "big brother" is doing a great job of keeping an eye on our employees. We feel the units have already paid for themselves. (service started on 5/13/04, posted on-line 7/2/04)

Jane Burnette, Owner

ICS Telecom, NY

I was able to negotiate an 8% discount on our insurance premium. This will pay for several vehicle units the first year and then some of our monthly airtime fees each year thereafter.

Raj Shah, Vice President

D. Electric, FL

We received our money back before the units were even installed! We had five electricians resign when we introduced the system to them. We were suspicious of their activity and they were one of reasons we went with a vehicle tracking system. We saved $10,000 in overtime the first month!

Mr. D., Ownder

Greenleaf Pest Control, CA

I had a truck break down and since it was under warranty I called the dealer. They sent out a tow truck to retrieve it and it got lost. The dealer said they never got it and the towing company denied ever towing it. Fortunately I was able to locate it on the GPS and I drove down to the dealership and pointed out it was across the street on one of their lots.

Stan Lake, Owner

House and Urban Development, NY

A semi-funny story is that they (management) discovered that one of the security guys got paid $60.00 to have dinner with his girlfriend, that is, he was on the clock at $20.00/hour! The officers who were already aware of other indiscretions are pleased to have the units installed!

"We love it. It is just as advertised."

Perry Perret, Owner

County Goverment, OH

With only six vehicles using the system, we were able to eliminate all overtime in the first two weeks. This is saving my department about $7,600 per month or $91,200 per year on a one-time investment of under $5,000. (paraphrased)

, Department Head

Mercedes Transport, MI

The clients are impressed which is wonderful also. They can call me and I can tell them exactly where their horses and ETA's are located. This gives them peace of mind and they are telling all of their friends about us! Increased business
is going to pay for the system many times over.
...the guys that were having difficulties staying on route are making a huge effort to stay ON ROUTE now and will call me more readily for clarification on routing rather than just driving..
I am very pleased! I will tell anyone and everyone that will listen to me about you guys!

Pam Borst, Owner

Dales Gas Appliance Repair, FL

I don't understand how any company is doing without, especially if the vehicles go home at night with the employee.
We're seeing about a 20% reduction in fuel on a monthly basis.
I can honestly say it has been a god send. It documents their billing time and location (with-in a reasonable distance). I have used it to verify gas charges in vehicles. It has kept the servicemen honest as can be expected. I did not believe I had any problems but found out there was abuse even when the individual knew it was being monitored E-mail alerts document speeding violations. It took a lot of worry off my back about the vehicle abuse and allowed me more time to concentrate on business rather than some employees abuse.

Dale DaBaets, Owner

Thermo Spas, Eastern USA

We love it!
It has stopped running (personal use) over the weekends.
Speeds are down from 90 MPH to the 70's.When a customer calls I can jump on-line and tell them where the technician is and about when he/she will arrive.

Ray Burrell, Fleet Manager

Mid America Elevator, IL

It cuts down on the time the guys are spending on the job site. Before they were hanging out for 15-20 minutes before getting started.
($24/hr x 5 days/wk = $8 x 5 days = $40 weekly or $160 monthly)

Kit Muran, Operations Manager

Eagle Home Medical Corp., NC

With my vehicles being in San Antonio Texas, I am now able to see what they are doing all day. In thirty days I have identified enough time card padding to pay for the system. One employee was charging me to drive my vehicle to and from work. This alone was costing me $528 per month! I have also learned that people are going home for two hour lunches and spending too much time at customer locations. What once took all day is now only taking six hours.

Jeff Peedin, Owner

Quality Stone, TX

We've only been using it a month and it has certainly started to show some improvement. The driver gets back a lot earlier. I'd guess we're saving about four hours per week right now ($60 weekly or $240 monthly). I've been impressed with how well it has worked and how easy it's been to use it.

Stacie Simpson, Owner

Wallace Industries, NY

We've found that we don't have a lot of issues with our employees but we have been able to tighten up a few things. From the other end (of the spectrum) it is a valuable tool to show our customers how long the trucks have been sitting on their site waiting for them (to show up).

Bill Wallace, VP Operations

Executive Manager Services, CA

Our real benefit has been being able to show customers how long we are at their location and what our response time was. It is a great selling tool. With increased response time we have also seen an increase in productivity.

Carey Burgher, Project Manager

General Roof, CA

I've just used this system one day and I'm so impressed. I wish I could sell it for you to everyone that needs tracking systems for their companies. I will tell everyone I think can use it. I have one company in mind already - if he agrees I'll forward his name to you. The installation was a breeze - in and out in a flash. Thanks so much.

Tammy Walkerling, Owner

Micro Serve, CA

We have seen a 20% increase in productivity in just 45 days!

Maurice Ray, Owner

Alldredge Gardens, TX

At this point the biggest impact it has had is just being in the trucks. Most of our crews know this and are not making the extra stops or going places that they are not supposed to be going like they have in the past. I say most of the crews because we have had a few that are still trying to get away with those extras, but we now know where they are going and how long they are there. In fact we let one employee go because she would go to her sisters house for at least four hours each day! She was aware of the tracker in her truck so she would park her van at the customers location and walk to her sisters house. These are the kind of employees you don't want to have. The tracker has in a sense weeded out the wrong employees.

Greg Sise, Operations Manager

D&D Painting, CA

My company is going to save $40,000 annually in wages by putting this system on the vehicle and it was only a $1,000, one-time investment. I had entire painting crews wasting time and hanging out.

Eric Dokey, Owner

Burlington Coat, MA

The best results have been that we thought we might have needed to hire and additional full time driver. We had three and were thinking maybe we needed a fourth. Since the installation we have found that we are getting along nicely with 1 full time and two part time drivers. So the units paid for themselves immediately. The maps are nice and the accuracy is very good.
