Cargo King improve their customer service and fleet's legal compliance thanks to Frotcom

Dec. 13, 2021 - PRLog -- Cargo King is a medium-sized road transportation company based in Ireland, serving the parcel distribution, pharma, and air freight industries.

After evaluating the performance of several transport companies in Ireland who were using Frotcom with positive results, Cargo King concluded that the software could dramatically improve its fleet and tachograph management.

They had several goals to achieve through a fleet management system, namely:
- Improve fleet management;
- Simplify tachograph data download process;
- Comply with tachograph legislation;
- Accurately monitor the temperature of refrigerated trailers.

Frotcom's Remote tachograph download reduced costs and simplified the process of downloading and storing tachograph data in its fleet. The Frotcom software remotely manages all vehicle tachograph files and driver card downloads, replacing the need to download data from trucks manually.

Cargo King improved the visibility of its trailers and assets. The company considers it ensures accurate monitoring without interfering with sensitive trailer electronics. By connecting Frotcom to the CANBus circuit in its vehicles, Cargo King has access to accurate fuel consumption information from each truck in its fleet and can identify cases of excessive fuel waste.

Remote cargo temperature monitoring can accurately monitor the temperature of the refrigerated trailers used in its pharma transport operations. The temperature-monitoring system allows Cargo King to access live temperature information and record temperatures throughout the trip history, enabling the company to react quickly if the temperature fluctuates beyond what it is supposed to, avoiding cargo damage.

Angus King, Cargo King's Director, said: "(...) As soon as we started using Frotcom in our semi-trailers, we were able to fulfill a requirement for one of our biggest customers by granting them access to our trailer locations with their own 'shared asset' login account."

Finally, it is safe to conclude that Cargo King achieved its fleet management goals with Frotcom features and the service and support offered.
