Fleet with 7,000 Drivers Taps GPS Technology for Safety and ROI

Aaron’s, Inc., (NYSE: AAN), a leading lease-to-own specialty retailer with over 7,000 fleet drivers has recently partnered with Azuga, to improve fleet safety and increase ROI via its GPS technology systems.

The results are noteworthy. In six months, Aaron’s has been able to generate a powerful ROI across different areas: reduction in idling, increased safety and longer truck life.

“We selected Azuga for its comprehensive functionality spanning GPS tracking, rewards-driven driver behavior solutions and engine diagnostics,” said Lewis Allen, senior manager fleet operations at Aaron’s.

“We were able to improve many aspects of our fleet operations within the first three months of deploying Azuga,” he continued. “Its reliability, accuracy and value are unlike traditional hard-installed GPS systems. In addition, their social telematics feature allows us to further motivate and incentivize employees as well as to continue find new sources of ROI.”

Social telematics, a term and service coined by Azuga, combines driver visibility, gamification, employer-funded rewards, social sharing and Azuga-funded awards to bring a refreshing new approach to fleet telematics in 2015.
