Ctrack Fleet Monitoring Services to the rescue
Vehicle tracking and fleet management
specialist Ctrack by Inseego recently enabled
long haulage company Massyn Vervoer to
identify diesel theft and fraud within its
company shortly after subscribing to Ctrack’s
new Fleet Monitoring Services.
Ctrack has been tracking Massyn
Vervoer’s fleet for the past 15 years.
However, after identifying the need for
an advanced telematics information
and fleet management service, Ctrack
introduced its Fleet Monitoring Services,
a full outsource of fleet control room
activities, to the company. Dedicated
fleet controllers support Massyn Vervoer’s
entire fleet from Ctrack’s national Support
Centre, with 24/7 eyes-on-screen fleet
and route monitoring and response
services to incident alerts and alarms.
The services also include highly proficient
hindsight, insight and foresight data
analytics and reporting for streamlining
fleet operations.
Using Ctrack’s Fleet Analytics, Massyn
Vervoer was able to validate toll road
transactions, which identified a driver who
was regularly abusing a fuel card for non-
work purposes. On another occasion, the
reports backed by real-time fleet and route
monitoring was able to pinpoint a driver who
was illegally offloading fuel.
The Ctrack solution has enabled Massyn
Vervoer to monitor its fleet’s speeding
events. As a result, the haulage company
virtually eliminated speed limit violations,
bringing incidents down from 200 per month
to just two.
“Fuel can account for as much as 25% for
a long haulage trucking company and the
rise in fuel theft and fraud poses a serious
threat to transporters’ operating profits.
With regards to this, it undeniably benefitted
Massyn Vervoer to invest in our Fleet
Monitoring Services to help eliminate these
types of risks,” says Hein Jordt, MD of Ctrack
Fleet Management Solutions.
“Our newest division helps customers use
the vast amounts of data generated from
their fleet management systems. It provides
information for critical decision making,
from cost savings to future investments.
Our developers are constantly growing and
improving the model to best suit our client
needs.”

With the rapid evolution of digitisation, and
Cisco’s predictions that 40% of businesses
will die in the next 10 years, digital
transformation is critical to survival in the
new world order. Cassie Lessing, managing
director, Strato IT Group, developer of
StratoPOD, a mobile business application for
delivery documentation, says 2017 has seen
a wave of new interest in digitisation.
“While 2016 showed marginal interest
in implementing and featured discussions
around the concepts, 2017 has seen
companies from a broad range of industries
requesting Proof of Concepts. There is a
sense of urgency, possibly proof that industry
has realised that those businesses that are
not digitising will start to fail,” says Lessing.
Strato IT Group’s digital proof of delivery
app StratoPOD, has been implemented with
great success in the building, manufacturing
and logistics industries, most notably,
Toyota South Africa’s National Parts
Distribution Centre.
“Partnering with our customers and
working together as a team has enabled us
to meet the industriousness necessary to
transform our client’s business into a digital
one. This evolution of digital technology
has in most parts already happened in
our personal lives, and is now starting to
underpin almost every facet of business.”
Gartner predicts that by 2017, 60% of
Global 1 000 organisations will execute
on at least one revolutionary and currently
unimaginable business transformation effort
and that by 2023, superior digital business
capabilities will lead four out of five industry
leaders to reposition their brand promise or
build new brands.
