Axxon Tracking installed GPS Trackers throughout their distribution fleet in order to track the current location and route history of all vehicles. Romar Trading uses our dashboard with real-time routing and reports showing when assets are at a delivery point and for how long.
As it turned out some drivers were driving the scheduled daily route in a different order and making unauthorized stops. They stopped two kinds of theft by monitoring and managing their fleet with Axxon Tracking:
When a client does not check the delivery amount, for example, 20 cases, the driver only unloads 18 cases and takes 2 cases for themselves.
"The benefit of Axxon Tracking is getting data fast. We know what conditions are like right now, not what it was like 15, 30, or 60 minutes ago."

Products that were nearing their expiration date were taken instead of being brought back to the warehouse to be properly disposed of.
On both occasions the stolen goods were then sold outside the delivery route, this could be identified through our scheduled reports with full route history.
As a distributor for Yum! Brands they have to deal with tight audits in quality and product control. In dealing with perishable products, timely delivery is critical.
When products have been outside a temperature critical parameter they cannot be sold anymore and have to be disposed of properly.
Using the system, we identified and stopped a driver that was making regular unauthorized personal stops and turned off the cooling system during that period, rendering the products unusable.
"We had no idea that there was so much vehicle misuse happening right under our noses. Axxon Tracking helped us find out about the ongoing vehicle misuse so we could put an immediate stop to it."
Gwendly Winklaar, Head of Security
Our personnel feel reassured knowing the cameras are always present, acting as an impartial observer. The dashcam has made a huge difference, and we barely receive complaints anymore.
