Azuga, a leading instant-install cloud-based GPS fleet tracking
and driver behavior solution, recently announced that it has secured its
100th customer. Customers include delivery, service and repair,
landscaping, security, plumbing and electrical contractors. These
companies have seen how Azuga is revolutionizing fleet telematics with
breakthrough pricing, lifetime hardware warranties and no contracts –
all industry firsts.
Knowing a vehicle’s location allows business owners to choose the
best routes, saving time, avoiding high fuel costs and reducing
excessive mileage. In the past, many companies invested in traditional
GPS systems that required expensive hardware, hard-to-schedule and
expensive installation, and long contracts with high recurring monthly
costs. Even with those investments, there was no visibility to actual
fuel used, vehicle health and risky driver behavior patterns. Azuga’s
instant-install OBDII device can begin in as little as 22 seconds, while
allowing companies to track their fleets for just 70 cents per day per
vehicle (price includes GPS tracking device).
Powered by Azuga’s G2TM technology, the device “reads” vehicles’ engine data up to 60 times more often than standard GPS tracking
systems and sends data to the cloud, giving fleet administrators
real-time snapshots of vehicle health, fuel usage, Carbon footprint and
driver behavior.
“We are very pleased with the growth we have experienced since
partnering with Azuga,” said Remy Cano, president of Northwest Tank. “
We took one look at Azuga’s pricing and switched over from our current
GPS provider. With Azuga, we’re able to accurately track our drivers,
maximize our available workforce, save on fuel costs, correct driving
behavior and service more customers per shift.”
“Cloud-based software management and GPS device hardware have both
experienced significant cost savings in the last three years. The
industry has not passed on these savings to customers and continues to
inflict punishing contracts and high monthly recurring costs,” said
Ananth Rani, vice president and general manager of Azuga. “Azuga was
created to shake-up the industry and we’re pleased to see the rapid
adoption by customers.”
“There has been increasing interest from fleet managers to use data
from the diagnostic port for monitoring driver behavior and optimizing
fuel consumption,” said Clem Driscoll of C.J. Driscoll & Associates,
a marketing and research firm serving consumer and commercial markets
for GPS-based products and services. “Demand for cost-effective systems
that can provide this data is expected to grow among fleet operators of
all sizes.”
Azuga is led by a team of industry veterans with experience at Ford,
GM, AT&T, Oracle, Xora, Telenav and Qualcomm. Azuga’s parent
company, Danlaw, Inc. manufactures Azuga’s OBDII device, ensuring
hardware performance that’s trusted by top insurance companies. More
than 500,000 devices have been installed in the field. For each product
sold, Azuga donates a portion to a charity of the customer's choice –
several large organizations like the Leukemia and Lymphoma foundation,
American Diabetes Association, World Vision and Save The Children have
benefited from these contributions.
