Rite-Way Carpet Cleaning

Ranger CT

Since equipping their fleet of cleaning vehicles with GPS devices from GPS Commander, Rite-Way has seen measurable improvements in customer service, noted Ms. Leslie Cruz, General Manager of Rite Way Carpet. The ability of the system to find the closest vehicle to a customer location and being able to provide accurate ETA’s to customers have both been important factors in meeting their service goals. “We can go into the locator and find the nearest van in the area,” she explains.

One of the key benefits of the system is its ability to use historical tools and reports to analyze and measure actual work performed. Knowing exactly how long a carpet cleaning technician spent on a particular site and the total machine on time provides billing justification and proof that is invaluable to Rite-Way accounting staff, while demonstrating professionalism to customers. “It has been more efficient for us and saved us manpower; it has been able to pinpoint productivity — and lack of, and all those things come down to savings,” says Cruz. “We’re not wasting money,” she says.

King says having GPS installed on their trucks has improved communications for everyone. “We can offer a customer an ETA or update without having to bother the driver,” says King, who also noted that having the GPS has been a great selling point for customers. “A lot of the customers are very impressed with the fact that they can get an up to the minute update,” said King.
