Running a fleet of nearly 50 vehicles efficiently and cost-effectively poses a challenge for many companies. But officials at FloHawks Plumbing & Septic eliminated many of the hassles associated with that task by subscribing to a cloud-based fleet management system from US Fleet Tracking.Along the way, the Puyallup, Wash.-based FloHawks (a division of Northwest Cascade Inc.) also increased profitability, employee accountability and customer service. In addition, the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) fleet management system helped the company develop a flat-rate pricing structure; it now enables the firm to assess and adjust its pricing to accurately reflect actual costs, says J.R.
