“Fleetmatics serves such a diverse range of service-based industries, allowing us to dive into our data for almost any particular industry. For this study, we tracked the performance of roughly 5,500 pest management vehicles over the course of a single year,” said Kathleen Finato, Fleetmatics chief marketing officer. “For our customers – regardless of industry – providing the same level of insight at an individual level can help them get more done, outpace their competitors and improve customer service.”
