Paul J. Rach Inc. benefits from Intergis Mobile Resource Management Solution

Paul J. Rach, Inc. is a successful concrete construction company headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, specializing in slip forming concrete, a method and material used primarily for jersey barriers, curb, gutter and sidewalk work, retaining walls and small structures.

With a fleet of vehicles traveling throughout the state of Maryland, Paul J. Rach’s president Joe Spencer knew his company's success was dependent upon its mobile resources. Recognizing that fuel costs, mileage, incidents of unauthorized evening and weekend use – not to mention overtime – were cutting into the company’s bottom line, Spencer's decided to look into a GPS vehicle tracking solution. His investigation led him to Intergis, the leading Mobile Resource Management (MRM) solutions provider.

Following painless implementation of the Vericom MRM Solution, Intergis’ fleet management system (taking only about 20 minutes per vehicle during off-peak times), the fleet software is transparent to Rach drivers, while the company’s management team can easily access the Vericom MRM mapping and reporting solution from any Internet-enabled device 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rach’s Intergis solutions not only benefit the organization, but also add value for individual drivers by eliminating the burden of paperwork on items such as time cards, maintenance and mileage. In fact, an automated maintenance program ensures that vehicles are maintained in a timely manner, so malfunctioning vehicles do not waylay drivers. (The Department of Energy estimates that timely vehicle maintenance can increase gas mileage by as much as 40 percent.) And Intergis MRM solutions enable Rach managers to reward driver performance.

The MRM solution performs valuable, everyday functions such as easy vehicle location identification, routing and playback. Time card accuracy has increased along with on-time morning arrivals, added benefits that contribute to the bottom line. By improving the financial health of the Rach organization, the Intergis routing software helps create financial stability, which is as important to employees as employers in virtually any industry during any economic climate.

Three years later, much to Joe Spencer's delight, the system has yielded even greater returns than expected.

"After we installed the Vericom MRM solution, we curtailed off-hours use by 100 percent. We also began receiving discounts on our insurance premiums and gained vision into speeding episodes. Now if we identify a driver with a pattern of habitual speeding, we counsel him accordingly," Spencer reports.

According to Kenny Tarbart, Rach's shop foreman, "The Intergis Vericom MRM solution helped us reduce our monthly overtime by two to three hours per employee, as well as fuel costs by one tank per vehicle."

These small, everyday savings really add up. On a monthly basis, Paul J. Rach saves a minimum of $150 per vehicle from two main areas: reduced overtime and fuel savings with an annual savings of over $35,000 — a number that contributes directly to the bottom line and more than pays for the system. Best of all, these savings are realized year-after-year.
