Romex at SME 2009
Tipping point for Vehicle Tracking? Romex Device Tracking at SME 2009
Romex will be exhibiting their flexible range of telematics and device tracking at the Service Management Expo, held at the Birmingham SME on the 22nd and 23rd of September.
Market penetration for vehicle tracking is high in the corporate fleet sphere – with estimates of between 35 to 50% of vehicles tracked depending on the information source.
Romex believe that the lessons learnt in the corporate fleet market are now being applied in the SME sector alongside the continued growth in the large fleet sphere. Vehicle Tracking, Compliance and Cost Saving Technology Fleet and health & safety legislation is the same regardless of the size of the company and the core business drivers remain consistent regardless of fleet size.
Whilst there is no doubt that the recession is contributing to the growth in vehicle tracking and mobile employee management software services, this is in the main because of the mechanics for cost control. The cost-saving benefits of vehicle tracking are now widely accepted. Compliance and cost saving are not the exclusive prompts for businesses in the SME sector to introduce vehicle tracking systems.
In today’s market, as companies struggle to expand in a low-growth economy, the utilisation of vehicle tracking technology and device tracking as a method of improving customer service to aid retention and providing new services at reduce costs is increasing.
Customer Service Drives Device Tracking Enquires
The market has focused on the tangible return on investments – verifying timesheets, reducing vehicle mileage and improving productivity - however, new business enquires are just as likely to start from the potential impact vehicle tracking service can have on customer communication and proactive customer management. These can include an improvement in engineer response times or providing proof that service levels are being adhered to or simply proving that a delivery was made on time. Romex are encouraging companies to trial their software for 14 days.
