Trakm8, a leading telematics and data insight provider, is proud to announce a new 3 year partnership with Commercial Associates LTD, trading as CA Cars, “The Driving Instructor Specialist.” This collaboration aims to enhance the monitoring of vehicle health and tracking of vehicle mileage for CA Cars’ extensive fleet of dual-controlled vehicles supplied to driving instructors and their schools across the UK.
Established in 1986, CA Cars is a family-owned business with nearly 40 years of experience in the industry. Renowned for their dedication to quality and service, CA Cars exclusively supplies vehicles for contract hire and sale to driving instructors. Recognised as the longest-standing player in the market, CA Cars continually seeks innovative solutions to better serve their clients.
Following an unsatisfactory trial with a previous telematics provider, CA Cars sought a more comprehensive solution and turned to Trakm8. CA Cars now employs Trakm8’s C430 devices, which offer advanced vehicle health monitoring through the “Connectedcare” solution, proving to be the ideal fit for their needs. Integrated with the Insight Business Platform, Trakm8 delivered a solution tailored to meet CA Cars’ specific needs, including accurate odometer readings directly from vehicle dashboards and proactive vehicle health monitoring.
The partnership addresses key requirements for CA Cars:
Accurate Mileage Tracking: True odometer readings provide precise data, enabling CA Cars to monitor servicing needs and manage mileage effectively throughout the lease term.
Vehicle Health Monitoring: Trakm8’s Connectedcare solution leverages the CANbus network to offer valuable diagnostic data, allowing CA Cars to maintain vehicle health, prevent costly downtime, and enhance the residual value of their assets.
Dave Reynolds, Developer at CA Cars said: “We previously trialled another telematics company, but their data wasn’t as in-depth as what Trakm8 could supply. Trakm8’s Vehicle Health Data was outstanding. During the trial, we intentionally created faults in the vehicle, and Trakm8’s system identified them immediately. The true odometer readings provide improved visibility of mileage across our fleet, which is highly beneficial.”
Joe Heidari, Fleet & Optimisation Sales Director at Trakm8, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “We’re delighted to partner with CA Cars. This collaboration exemplifies how our solutions can meet the specific needs of fleets of all sizes. By integrating our market-leading telematics and vehicle health monitoring, CA Cars can accurately track mileage and proactively maintain their vehicles.”
This partnership marks a significant step forward in the driving instruction industry, setting a new standard for vehicle management and operational efficiency. Trakm8 and CA Cars are committed to continuing their innovation and delivering top-tier solutions to driving instructors across the UK.
