Company Benefits

Increased Productivity

AVL will assist you in keeping your technicians focused on their daily goals which results in increased
productivity levels. Increases in productivity lead to increases in sales!

Minimized Overtime Costs

Shafer's AVL will help you get the most out of your employees and your vehicles by streamlining your service call routine, resulting in less overtime.

Improved Customer Relations

Technician crumb-trails and timestamps provide proof that the technician was not only at the customer's location, but also when he arrived, showing that service was delivered when promised. Customer disputes may be handled professionally and accurately leading to higher customer satisfaction and retention.

Peace of Mind

Having live, real-time satellite coverage of your fleet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week reassures you that your vehicles are being used as intended. Use AVL to locate your technicians during and after business hours or to even help locate vehicles if they are ever stolen.

Increased Efficiency and Driver Compliance

After installing AVL in your vehicles, your employees will know that you are keeping track of their movements. Most unauthorized vehicle use will discontinue without any additional supervisory intervention. Employee productivity is increased, while decreases in time card fraud also become a natural part of the process, equating to payroll savings.

Insurance Savings

Because Shafer's AVL includes security settings that monitor vehicle speed and general travel throughout regular and geo-fenced (off-limits) areas, vehicle theft and bad driving habits are suppressed. Fewer accidents equates to fewer insurance claims.

Fleet Maintenance Cost Reductions

Improved driving habits and elimination of unnecessary route detours reduce total fleet mileage, maintenance charges (oil, tires, etc.) and fuel charges.

Improve Training Processes

AVL provides real-time factual data that will educate management on how to properly train technicians on company driving policies. Use AVL to establish landmarks such as gas stations or supply houses and your dispatchers will naturally educate technicians on exactly where to go for what they need.

Vehicle Abuse

Shafer's AVL provides the ability to monitor vehicles even after hours. You'll know right away which employees can be trusted to take responsibility over their vehicles and themselves. Allowing employees to take vehicles home, without fear of abuse, can result in a more efficient use of each vehicle.

Employee Benefits

Driver Protection and Safety

Shafer's AVL will help reduce the chance of accidents and fatalities. Drivers are aware that they are
being watched and are encouraged to improve their driving habits while traveling at safe speeds.

Less Paperwork

Because the technician's trail is logged each day, there is no need for drivers to record their mileage
or timestamps. Instead, they may focus on safe driving and excellent customer service.

Employee Rewards

Bonuses and/or new incentives can be given for increased productivity and/or driver safety. Rewards motivate employees which in turn helps improve their customer service.

Schedule Verification

AVL will provide inarguable data showing where each vehicle has been and when and how long it was at a service location. This ensures protection for employees who receive complaints about late arrivals.
