It is a priority for the company to provide a high standard of quality for their products and services. Therefore, OtankiMill closely follows industry developments and technology to continue to modernize and optimize business processes, including fleet management.
OtankiMill Is the largest agricultural service provider in the Baltic region with 20 years of experience on the European market. The main activity of the company is transporting agricultural products. This is made possible by a fleet of several dozen vehicles.
The goal: improve fleet efficiency
About 10 years ago, the need arose to optimize fleet management processes. Back then, phone calls were still used to get in touch with drivers and plan routes. That was a time-consuming and complicated process. Getting drivers to check their tachograph records also required dispatchers and, in some cases, other employees, which was a major drain on the company's resources. As the fleet grew, this type of process organization became ineffective. Therefore, the company began looking for a solution for daily task management.
"When we decided the company needed a fleet management solution, we researched the options available on the market and chose this fleet management system because of the complete online platform they offer. It seemed convenient and easy to understand compared to the alternatives," said Otaņķu's board member Jānis Lanka, adding that the partnership has continued to grow since 2009.
Solutions for the entire fleet - from light vehicles and trucks to tractors
Currently, hardware is installed on almost all commercial vehicles - cars, trucks, tractors and subsidiary vehicles. OtankiMill uses GPS tracking, fuel monitoring, remote digital tachograph downloading, driving behavior analysis, vehicle inspection and other solutions. The data collected is synchronized with the company's ERP system, which uses it to control business processes.
More efficient transportation and lower fuel consumption
"Shortly after introducing the tracking solutions, we saw improvements in transportation quality and efficiency - we could see in real time where our vehicles were and plan next tasks in advance," Jānis Lanka says of the results.
Another significant improvement is the change in fuel consumption - using the fuel monitoring solution reduced this by 10%. It is also more convenient to view all the information about a vehicle, such as the status of mandatory vehicle inspections, licenses, insurance, etc., and to use the mobile app, which is convenient for both field staff and our customers, who can easily see the location of the vehicle and the progress of the work.
"We greatly appreciate your continuous improvement of the solutions offered, listening to our suggestions and implementing them to help us improve our work and grow our business."
