The economy is struggling, and competition is tough. Cost reduction is the only option for companies striving to be competitive. Across most businesses, the costs of maintaining and running a fleet of vehicles sits in the top three expense categories. It, therefore, becomes clear that any small cost savings can greatly impact the bottom line. Vehicle tracking for recovery is a pure commodity, and local startup Sunstone Logistic Systems aims to redefine fleet management from a technological point of view.

Route optimisation is a key element in the modern distribution logistics environment. Mark Jaffe, Sunstone Logistic Systems’ CEO, is an innovative tech junky. He says that by utilising a scheduling and route optimisation tool, the transporter can reduce distribution costs by as much as 25%. It is about optimal fleet utilisation, reducing travel distances and improving fuel consumption.
