NexTraq Featured in Google Blog Post!
May 2, 2012
It’s been an exciting few months at NexTraq! NexTraq has several industry firsts in the truck tracking industry, including our integration with Google Maps. Google came to our offices in February and shot a video on our integration with Google Maps. We were then given the opportunity to guest-write an article on the Google enterprise blog, which featured the much-anticipated video.

Enjoy!
NexTraq was just named 27th out of 100 companies in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Top Workplaces list in the small business category. More than 1,000 companies entered the contest. I’m excited to say that I work for one of the top places in Atlanta!
Employees were sent surveys and asked to respond to a set of statements using a seven-point Likert scale. Each statement was tested to ensure a high correlation with how metro employees rate their workplaces. The resulting top 100 list consists of 20 large companies (500 or more employees), 30 midsize companies (150-499 employees) and 50 small companies (149 or fewer employees).
NexTraq recently moved to the Atlanta area from Alpharetta and continues to grow. New jobs continue to open up and we’re excited about the growth and opportunity in the coming year!

Unexpected Benefits of GPS Tracking
January 24, 2012
When we talk about the benefits of GPS fleet tracking, the conversation tends to revolve around things such as fuel savings, increased productivity and improved driver behavior. One of our clients recently sat down with us though, and discussed some pleasantly surprising results that they noticed in addition to the traditional benefits.
Landscape Concepts Management, Inc., a leading landscaping contractor company, was expanding rapidly and having difficulty tracking its vehicles and assets throughout its numerous locations. After deploying our system, the first thing they noticed was the decrease in fuel costs.
While the savings on fuel was definitely something they appreciated, the company quickly realized they were able to win new business due to their Sustainability Statement. George Markoutsas, Marketing Director for Landscape Concepts Management, said, “Because we could present a Sustainability Statement to potential clients in the bid process, we have won numerous contracts from municipal and commercial contracts that have to adhere to certain ordinances. We do our part to be a ‘green’ organization.”
Evelyn Herzog, Fleet Administrator for Landscape Concepts Management, said, “We realized immediate benefits from the NexTraq Fleet Tracking solution, but were surprised to realize we were benefiting in other ways we never considered. We are able to effectively fight false citations and lawsuits and can accurately report mileage to the International Registration Plan and adhere to the International Fuel Tax Agreement through the data we can analyze and report on within the NexTraq platform.”
Probably the biggest benefit of all though, was the ability to quickly locate a vehicle that had been stolen and direct the police to the vehicle’s location. With the real-time updates in the NexTraq application, LMC was able to recover $400,000 worth of stolen assets.
With the NexTraq solution in place, Evelyn and Landscape Concepts Management will be seeing a lot more green in the future.
