Challenge:
With a big fleet spread across thousands of square kilometers of the South Island, Nind Electrical needed to be able to see the whole fleet on a screen. When they get a call from a farmer, they need to be able to look up their exact location and see which electrician is closest. Maintenance also consisted of one guy walking around each vehicle and doing manual checks, which worked fine, but with more vehicles it became a full time job. They had a feeling that some of their staff were speeding and needed a system that adds a level of transparency to the business to make it run more efficiently and improve customer service.
A lot of the work we do for farmers is critical. If the equipment has stopped working, they need it sorted straight away or work is held up. To meet that need we had to be much more efficient, so we got Teletrac Navman.
- Steve Winter, General Manager
Solution:
South Island firm Nind Electrical Services make the dash to sometimes even the most remote farms to get the milking sheds up and running again. The business started in Ron Nind’s garage in 1977 and now Nind Electrical has offices in Invercargill, Dunedin, Queenstown and Christchurch, which focus on residential, commercial and industrial clients, while Nind Dairy Services looks after dairy farms throughout Southland and Otago. The growth of the company, now with 110 staff and 80 light vehicles, required a more high-tech approach to managing the fleet and the workflow.
Results:
The implementation of Teletrac Navman has led to several significant benefits for Nind Electrical:
- Automates maintenance tracking & reduced downtime
- Monitors distance of each vehicle to keep track of usage
- Dashboard keeps track of all their WOF and RUC requirements
- Provides proof points for ACC Workplace Safety Management Program when audited
