Optimizing fleet managment with Atracio

Energy and Utilities

As a leading player in the energy and utilities sector, Engie recognized the importance of optimizing its fleet operations for enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Faced with the challenges of managing a large and diverse fleet, Engie sought a solution to streamline its operations, reduce costs, and improve overall fleet performance.

CHALLENGE

Engie encountered several significant challenges with its fleet operations. The high fuel costs were a major concern, as the extensive fleet was incurring significant expenses, impacting the company’s operational budget.

Additionally, inefficient routing led to increased fuel consumption, delays, and higher maintenance costs. Ensuring optimal usage of each vehicle in the fleet was another challenge, leading to underutilized assets and increased operational costs.

Furthermore, the lack of real-time data made it difficult to proactively manage vehicle maintenance, resulting in unexpected breakdowns and downtime.

SOLUTION

Engie adopted Atracio’s fleet management solution to tackle these challenges comprehensively.

For fuel cost optimization, Atracio enabled real-time tracking of fuel consumption, allowing Engie to identify and address inefficiencies. By analyzing driving patterns, such as idling and harsh braking, Atracio helped Engie implement driver training programs to reduce fuel wastage. The integration with fuel cards provided detailed insights into fuel purchases, helping Engie identify fraudulent transactions and optimize fuel expenses.

To improve fleet utilization, Atracio’s GPS tracking provided visibility into the location and status of each vehicle, helping Engie maximize asset utilization. Detailed reports highlighted underutilized vehicles, enabling Engie to reassign them for optimal use and reduce operational costs. The solution also streamlined scheduling and dispatch processes, ensuring the right vehicle was assigned to the right task, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
