The Challenge Ohio Ready Mix wanted to increase visibility into their trucks and the performance of their drivers, but the telematics system that they were using was expensive and unreliable. They wanted a solution that was easier to use and that they were able to troubleshoot more efficiently. At the same time that Ohio Ready Mix was looking for a new truck tracking and telematics device, they were also having some challenges with scheduling and wanted a way to help them plan better for upcoming orders. The Solution Ohio Ready Mix chose TrackIt, Command Alkon's GPS & Fleet Telematics system. At the time, the Delivery Cycle Monitoring (DCM), an additional module for the Trackit system, was in its early phases of testing. The DCM feature automatically captures timestamps for Begin Pour, End Pour, Loading, Loaded, and Wash status to the TrackIt Cloud, informing dispatchers of every stage in the delivery cycle. Ohio Ready Mix decided that TrackIt combined with DCM was the solution to the challenges that they were facing. "I knew that based off the staff that Command Alkon has, it was a no brainer for us because they're responsive and so easy to work with," said Jeremy Sloan, Vice President of Operations at Ohio Ready Mix. "Because of that, it made sense for us to switch to TrackIt with the DCM system as a beta site."
