Cove Electric sees immediate benefits with Intergis Fleet Management System

Cove Electric, Inc. is a full-service electrical company with engineering design, pre-construction and servicing capabilities. In business for 30 years, Cove Electric prides itself in maintaining the highest quality personnel, both in-house and in the field.

With this goal in mind, Cove Electric wanted to ensure its drivers and vehicles were operating as efficiently as possible. The unpredictable and high cost of fuel was also a concern.

The company chose Intergis to support its mobile resource management needs. Intergis implemented its tracking and reporting solution – the Vericom MRM Solution – for this fast-growing company. The Intergis fleet management system provides monitoring capabilities for Cove’s drivers and vehicles, as well as easy-to-use reports for Cove’s managers.

“I am pleased to tell you that our [Intergis] fleet management system quickly moved from the ‘nice to have’ to the ‘essential to have.’ After only a week of having the system installed, we saw an immediate benefit,” says Simon Bojkovsky, vice president and director of information technologies.

While viewing the Intergis reports, Cove Electric noticed a new hire using his vehicle very late at night and on the weekends. After questioning the driver and giving him a warning, the driver was released due to the unexplained behavior. “We were very fortunate to be able to document his driving activity by using the Intergis Stop Report and quickly put an end to unwanted employee behavior,” explains Bojkovsky.

And, after the driver failed to return the company vehicle, the Intergis system also helped Cove locate and retrieve the vehicle, saving the company approximately $40,000. Other benefits for Cove Electric include a decrease in fuel expenses based on better route planning and less vehicle idling.
