CHANTILLY, VA, April 7, 2011 - Jolted by the national economic downturn, Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, recently implemented a car sharing initiative to streamline the university's motor pool and significantly reduce the workload on its shrinking staff. The announcement was made today by Agile Access Control, Inc. (Agile), creator of FleetCommander, the 100% web-browser based fleet and motor pool management application now in place at Cedarville.
According to university officials, Cedarville averages more than 260 vehicle requests per week from 250 users of their 26-vehicle fleet. With recent reductions in staff, the university sought a car sharing solution that would meet the needs of its fleet users, maximize the use of their vehicles, and ease the administrative burden on its fleet managers. According to Cedarville, a key consideration in their selection of FleetCommander was the fact that it could be implemented smoothly so that the transition could be easy for university fleet staff.
Vicky Hines, Cedarville's fleet coordinator, said, "It took us no time at all to get started, and we saw immediate advantages. With FleetCommander, we now use one system instead of three, and billing data is automatically generated when vehicles return. I am so thankful we are using FleetCommander now."
Agile worked closely with Cedarville's fleet staff to facilitate the transition to FleetCommander by:
• Importing user, department, and asset data from legacy systems
• Developing a custom billing algorithm to automate accounting processes
• Quickly addressing customer support questions
• Providing hands-on FleetCommander application training for staff
• Offering assistance and advice on configuring FleetCommander to meet their unique needs
"The FleetCommander staff has been so patient and helpful throughout the transition," said John Wambold, director of community ministries at Cedarville University. "We are excited to be a part of the FleetCommander community. We see the benefits every day."
