The Challenge

As a leading logistics provider, Aramex needed to maintain its competitive edge while managing a complex fleet across multiple countries. Their specific challenges included monitoring personal vehicle usage by drivers, reducing fuel costs, and improving/optimizing their last-mile overall operations. Aramex’s policy of allowing drivers to use vehicles during off-duty shifts posed a unique challenge, requiring a customizable solution to monitor and curb excessive personal use. Their existing telematics solution was limited in scope and couldn’t meet these demands, prompting the need for a more robust solution that could automatically capture critical data.

Rand McNally's telematics solution is exceptionally user-friendly, making it easy for our team to monitor key metrics like fuel consumption, speed, and driver behaviour. The clear insights we've gained have led to tangible improvements in safety and efficiency across our fleet.
