GPS Fleet Management System
Henry Abrams, President of Sun Heating & Cooling, Inc., commented,
“It is amazing to me how dependent we have become on the MARCUS® GPS
Tracking application with it only up and running for such a short
time. The system was paying for itself the very first day. It was
strange that for years, guys were turning in 8 hours a day every day
and all of a sudden they are working 7 ˝ and 6 ˝ hour days. Multiply
that times 41 guys at $30.00 to $60.00 per hour! The other thing that
totally took me by surprise was the gas consumption went down drastically;
that was a total bonus.”
