CASE STUDY- NRC AGRO: HIKING PROFITABILITY
Summary
NRC Agro, a food supply chain in India, faced challenges in managing its fleet, drivers, routes, and fuel costs. They approached Vamosys Telematics and IoT Solutions, which provided GPS vehicle tracking software and hardware, allowing for real-time tracking, driver behavior monitoring, fuel monitoring, geo-fencing, and instant notifications.
This resulted in increased efficiency, productivity, and profitability, while maintaining high quality standards and meeting customer expectations. NRC Agro was highly impressed with the Vamosys solution and recommends it to others in the industry.
NRC Agro specializes in the supply of a wide variety of products under the broad category of Vegetables, Fruits and Processed Products across India. Based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, they forecast business in advance and source appropriate stocks from far off places like Delhi, Kashipur and Jabalpur. The Company’s mission is to be the best in the industry with a growth rate of 20% every year. However, managing a prompt and effective supply chain and handling a huge volume of consumable goods is undoubtedly a complex operation. There exists the obligation of ensuring the extended shelf life of the products. Hence, real time tracking of your cargo location, manpower and the preset environmental conditions is mandatory for a successful transport. Apparently, Vamosys Telematics and IoT Solutions has fostered NRC Agro’s key objective of maintaining extremely high quality standards and timely delivery at the best price to meet their customers’ expectations.
This food supply chain owns a dedicated fleet of numerous vehicles for prompt delivery. The vehicles operate in diverse routes across South India. Each small vehicle covers a distance of 60 to 70 km while the heavy vehicles cover around 400 km every day, continuously running for 8 to 10 hours. Evidently, with the expansion of their customer base and in turn the increase in their operational activities, it was becoming intricate and almost impossible for the fleet managers to
- Take total control of their entire fleet
- Monitor huge driving staff
- Optimize routes
- Reduce downtime
- Maintain productivity
- Squeeze fuel costs
Thus, an efficient vehicle tracking and driver behaviour monitoring system was the need of the hour.
