National Exterminating Company Squashes Inefficiencies With TeleNav Track(TM)
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SUNNYVALE, CA and NEWPORT NEWS, VA, May 23 / MARKET WIRE/ --
TeleNav, Inc. today announced that National
Exterminating Company, Inc., a full service extermination company, has
improved customer response times and service efficiencies through the use
of TeleNav Track (TM), a market
leading GPS navigation and tracking service.
In operation since 1975, National Exterminating Company has provided
Virginia residents and business owners with reliable and affordable pest
control and termite services. Ranked number 79 among the nation's largest
extermination companies by Pest Control Technology (PCT) Magazine, the
company prides itself on providing customers with prompt and personal
service by uniformed, trained technicians and guarantees all workmanship.
As its business continued to expand, National Exterminating Company widened
its service area from Richmond, Va., down to North Carolina. With more than
40 vehicles on the road at any one time, the company realized that its
drivers were crisscrossing routes and the business was not being run as
efficiently as it could. The company saw an article in PCT Magazine about
what GPS tracking services were available and chose TeleNav Track due to
its extensive offerings and local service support capabilities in Newport
News, VA.
By deploying TeleNav Track on its service vehicles, the company is able to
turn them into 'profit centers.' In addition to decreasing expenses
incurred in fuel and labor, National Exterminating Company also benefits
from a reduction in the wear and tear of its vehicles, which leads to
further improvement in its bottom line. Additionally, dispatchers can
immediately identify and alert the closest vehicle to respond to an
emergency service request. This, in turn, has led to faster response times
and an increase in customer satisfaction.
"We originally implemented the TeleNav Track service in an effort to better
monitor the distances that our drivers were traveling and the time it was
taking them to get there. TeleNav Track far exceeded our expectations,"
said Ralph Morse, General Manager of National Exterminating Company. "Not
only can we monitor vehicle speed and distance traveled, but in the
unlikely event of an emergency, we can determine exactly where a driver is
located. TeleNav Track is invaluable to conducting business in our
industry."
"Like many expanding businesses, National Exterminating Company was simply
outgrowing the traditional way it monitored its mobile assets. Calling
mobile phones for hourly updates and printing out directions no longer
makes sense in a hectic, customer-focused world," said Sal Dhanani, Sr.
Director, Marketing and Co-Founder of TeleNav. "In a business where
customer service is crucial to success, TeleNav Track provides the
workforce management tools companies need to manage growth and improve
employee performance and customer satisfaction."
TeleNav Track enables organizations to optimize mobile workforce operations
through mobile GPS tracking and navigation, wireless timesheets, job
dispatching and wireless forms -- all using GPS-enabled mobile devices.
Currently, more than 8,000 organizations rely on TeleNav Track to help
manage their mobile resources.
Industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan recently recognized TeleNav Track
with its 2008 North American Mobility Award for Best MRM Solution on a
Handheld Device. For a free consultation or to order TeleNav Track,
