Challenges

Operating within the logging sector, KJS Logtranz faces several pressures. Poor road conditions, uncertain market demands, and an industry-wide shortage of skilled drivers present ongoing obstacles. Seeking a dependable telematics provider added to the complexity. Ken recalls having tried multiple brands that entered the New Zealand market, but these options fell short in terms of reliability, hardware capabilities, and support.

Solution

KJS Logtranz ultimately chose EROAD for its proven, real-time solutions and ongoing customer support. Specifically, they implemented:

• EHUBO Gen 2: Provides real-time vehicle tracking and electronic logbooks.
• Dual Dash Cameras: Helps protect drivers and the business with incident footage.
• CoreHub for Trailers: Extends visibility and control to trailer operations.

Benefits for Drivers

For drivers, EROAD’s system has taken uncertainty out of the equation. Electronic logbooks are accurate and transparent – removing the temptation and risk of any “creative” entries that can sometimes occur with paper-based systems. Should a driver ever be unfairly accused of speeding or dangerous driving, the dash cam footage and digital records offer unequivocal proof of events.

Business Outcomes

From a management perspective, EROAD has delivered new efficiencies and peace of mind. Tasks like off-road claims and geofencing are now straightforward and precise – helping reduce administrative overhead and streamline compliance. The real-time data from EHUBO provides insights that help optimize routes and scheduling, further boosting productivity.

The EROAD Advantage

The simplicity and timeliness of EROAD’s solutions have proven invaluable to KJS Logtranz. By offering robust hardware, reliable data, and exceptional customer support, EROAD helps the company overcome industry challenges while keeping both drivers and managers confident and informed.
