A well-managed fleet is so much more
than your vehicle inventory.
It's thousands of timely decisions.
It's a culture of safety and innovation.
It's how you serve your community.
Cobb County and T-Mobile for Government teamed up
to optimize fleet communication,
reduce response times, and cut costs.
Whenever you're looking at technology,
you don't want it to be more complicated.
You don't wanna have to put your hands on it so much.
Cobb County is actually the third largest county in Georgia.
We service about 750,000 citizens.
We have about 2,600 pieces of equipment,
trucks, cars, vans, excavators, loaders, sweepers.
The taxpayers are who we report to,
so we have to try to be efficient and effective
in whatever technologies we're looking to deploy.
I think I go into a conversation
with a customer like Cobb County really aiming to listen.
What are their needs? What are they looking to do?
Where do they wanna be?
We wanted a solution that we could actually move
from vehicle to vehicle.
They made the integration so seamless.
T-Mobile Fleet Management from Geotab
gave Cobb County a data-backed way
to coach employees on vehicle breakdown procedures.
It allows us to be able to find out
where their vehicle is,
find out where our service trucks are located,
and make sure we can dispatch the service truck
that's closest to that location.
= We receive numerous calls from 911.
We can respond immediately.
I can look on there
and see which vehicle's closest to that emergency.
Even in emergency type situations,
T-Mobile Network has been very solid
and we basically depend on T-Mobile network
during emergency situation.
Normally you look at vehicle maintenance and performance
as being reactive.
The vehicle breaks down
and then you have to go out and service it.
T-Mobile Fleet Management from Geotab
sends trouble codes directly to maintenance departments,
keeping teams informed before breakdowns occur.
That saves time. That saves money.
Cost savings has been one of the great benefits
of this program.
One of the things that I have personally track
is idling time.
If we are saving money by not idling,
we can use that as a leverage tool to say,
hey, we've reduced our idling,
which saved 20,000 gallons of fuel,
which equates to, you know, $50,000.
We're doing it for the betterment of the county
Together, let's optimize your fleet.
