DUBLIN and BOSTON, April 13,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetmatics Group PLC (NYSE:
FLTX), a leading global provider of mobile workforce solutions for
service-based businesses of all sizes delivered as
software-as-a-service (SaaS), announced the findings of an in-depth
analysis of its pest control customers' fleet activity in honor of
April being designated National Pest Management Month by the
National Pest Management Association (NPMA).
Every day, Fleetmatics' pest control customers and their
thousands of vehicles across the U.S. hit the roads to combat bugs,
rodents and more. To celebrate its hardworking customers,
Fleetmatics tapped into tens of millions of data points collected
from the company's pest control customers' vehicles to show just
how dedicated this industry is to keeping communities, homeowners
and businesses safe from these unwanted visitors.
According to the findings, during 2015, Fleetmatics' pest
control customers made more than 11.5 million stops and traveled a
total distance of 94.7 million miles. Additionally, Fleetmatics
identified the top 10 U.S. states with the largest pest control
problems based on its customer activity, or number of stops per
vehicle, per day. The top 10 states with the most activity are
Nevada, Utah, Texas,
Missouri, Mississippi, Arizona, Rhode
Island, Louisiana,
Kansas and Georgia, with pest control fleets in these
states making on average 10 stops per day.
"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."
"Thanks to Fleetmatics, we are able to dispatch information more
quickly and integrate scheduling more efficiently, ultimately
allowing us to get more jobs done and improve business," said
