Established in 1986, Executive Transport is a Lesotho-based carrier hauling general goods along routes to Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town. Significant clients are the textile industry, Lesotho Flour Mills and, most notably, the World Food Programme.
Lebona Lephema, MD of Executive Transport, turned to Ctrack after battling to locate a hijacked vehicle using another major fleet management service provider. "One of our vehicles was hijacked in Harrismith. We eventually found it in Johannesburg, but we really struggled to locate it using that service provider, which is actually one of the foremost providers in the country. I wasn't satisfied with the service that they provided and so I decided to change to Ctrack," Lephema reports.
After a year's experience with Ctrack, he has fortunately not had a repeat experience with crime, but can be more confident about the capabilities of the system - the proactive Ctrack system has a far higher recovery rate than that of the more passive beacon system that was previously fitted to the executive fleet. Ctrack also offered far more in terms of fleet management. "There has been a big change - now I always know where my drivers are," he adds. Pleased as he is with the product, Lephema is in the process of installing further systems. "Of our fleet of 35, ten or more are currently using Ctrack. "However, I will be installing the system into every fleet vehicle as time goes on," he notes.
Lephema enjoys the ability to keep track of a vehicle's location. "Executive Transport has always been lucky as far as drivers are concerned. Our drivers are loyal and professional, so I have only seen a slight improvement in driver behaviour since the introduction of Ctrack. It is very useful to be constantly aware of the location of each driver, though. On one occasion we were struggling to contact a driver whose cell phone was switched off, but after locating him on the system we were able to send someone in the local area to his exact position in order to check the status quo," he notes.
Executive Transport has experienced no problems with the Ctrack system, and Lephema is spreading the word. "A lot of companies are willing to get connected now," confirms Lephema, "I have recommended Ctrack to plenty of operators in the Lesotho area."
