Background

Golden State Landscaping, founded in 1979 by John Redfern, has grown from very humble beginnings. From its original staff of two employees, Golden State has successfully developed into a company of over 350 employees and a fleet of 50 trucks.

The Challenge

How does Golden State Landscaping eliminate employee traffic violations and the personal use of company equipment?

As Golden State Landscaping continued to expand, its ability to track its employees and fleet proved to be a challenge.

Speeding tickets are no laughing matter, and unfortunately, can end up costing much more than the mere penalty. For Golden State Landscaping, a slew of unexpected employee speeding tickets proved to be a real wake-up call.

According to Trisha Redfern, the Director of Human Resources of Golden State Landscaping, “Speeding tickets were hitting the company hard and it confirmed our fear that company vehicles and equipment were being used for side jobs.”

“We could not track our trucks or employees”, shared Trisha Redfern. “We wanted to know where they were at all times.” The inability to track their large and growing, business and fleet was proving to be too big of a challenge for Golden State Landscaping. It was time to for a change.

The Solution: OnTrack, the complete GPS Fleet Tracking and Management System from Telogis.

Golden State Landscaping implemented OnTrack, the complete GPS fleet tracking and management system from Telogis. The OnTrack system gave them the on demand web tools required to effectively manage their fleet and their team. Golden State Landscaping regained control over their employees, reduced over-time, and operating costs.

Golden State Landscaping now has their finger on the pulse of the business, and best of all, it has eliminated the personal use of company vehicles and equipment.

Golden State Landscaping prides itself on providing its customers high quality service with integrity, and loyalty. Now, thanks to OnTrack, they can expect the same from their employees.
