SageQuest Helps Fleets Go Green

 

Making the world a greener place is an important project for many. The world is adapting to this growing need for greener products and Solon, Ohio-based SageQuest (News - Alert), a GPS fleet tracking and solution provider, is one such company who is responding to the interest in green initiatives.

 

According to company officials, SageQuest’s new campaign to raise awareness of how its solution reduces environmental impact alongside the core customer benefits of reducing costs and improving productivity is underway.

 

This campaign includes a new carbon footprint report available inside its “Mobile Control” product, along with a new whitepaper resource to help customers and prospects make the case for a green initiative and get one off the ground, officials said.

 

“The good news for our customers is that they are becoming greener every day that they use our product,” said Todd Ewing, senior product manager at SageQuest. “They often look at reducing mileage, idle time and speeding from the perspective of cost savings, but these same reductions are simultaneously decreasing their carbon footprint. As green initiatives become less the exception and more the rule, our customers are already positioned to demonstrate their environmental responsibility.”

 

SageQuest found via a recent survey, that 57 percent of their customers either had a green initiative in place or were planning on implementing one. More business opportunities or requiring or preferring vendors to have green initiatives in place or are in the process of putting them in place officials said.

 

According to Jeremy Standifer of Fugro Consultants in Texas, “SageQuest helps us further our green initiatives through fuel conservation and through the timely and efficient manner we are able to maintain our vehicles.”

 

Officials say that the company has helped thousands of companies go green over the years and estimates, that Mobile Control's capability to monitor idling time and minimize routes and mileage, it has helped customers save more than 6 million gallons of gasoline and 32,000 tons of greenhouse gases – the equivalent of planting 160,000 trees.
