Intergis claims 15-20% mileage reduction for customer's fleet

New Jersey-based Intergis LLC says that use of its mobile resource management and logistics technologies has led to a reduction in the number of miles travelled by the fleet of one of its customers by up to 20%.

American Signature Furniture (ASF) has reaped significant ROI and reduced emissions using the company’s Visual Control Room routing solution to manage its fleet of vehicles, the company said. ASF, which operates in 19 states manufacturing and delivering furniture, has slashed its vehicle mileage costs by 15-20 percent using Intergis software to optimize schedules, monitoring driver activity and cut fuel usage.

Addition benefits for ASF include reduced route planning time from several hours to 25 minutes, a 15% increase in the number of deliveries and repairs, a 25% boost for its dollars-per-mile travelled metric, and a 12% reduction in overtime expense for the delivery team.

“The Intergis solution has enabled American Signature Furniture to streamline operations to reduce unnecessary fuel and resources,” explains Sonny Rice, senior business analyst at ASF. “We now deliver more furniture each day while cutting costs. Although it wasn’t the initial reason we implemented the system, we have noticed significant environmental benefits from utilizing the technology.”

Another Intergis customer, Denison Landscaping & Nursery, has “virtually eliminated speeding in company vehicles, excessive idling at worksites and excessive mileage from employees driving to unauthorized locations or with after-hours use” through the use of the company’s mapping, tracking and reporting solution.

According to Sabrina L. Kittrell, the logistical manager at Denison Landscaping, Inc., “The Vericom solution has allowed us to contribute to a healthier environment and reduce CO2 emissions. We have eliminated driving behaviors that were both dangerous for the environment and costly for our company. Intergis’ solution has enabled us to greatly improve our operations while preparing us for any future emissions standards and guidelines.”
