Problem
What We Were Solving For
Alter was experiencing tremendous growth via organic expansion and acquisition but had no universal fleet management system or strategy. Each location was attempting to manage via paper, spreadsheets and filing cabinets. Fleet and safety managers were forced to travel extensively between branches to obtain any insight into the root causes issues but could not enforce uniformity for maintenance or DOT compliance.
