Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Te!emetics is helping one of the world's oldest distribution and removals companies, The Shore Porters' Society, compete in the 21st century,

The company, which was established in 1498, has gained 40 hours of legal driving time every week since it installed Cybit's Fleetstar Online telematics package across its fleet. In fact it took lust six weeks to achieve a full return on its telematics investment.

Fleetstar Online enables The Shore Porters' Society to know the exact location of its trucks so it can respond instantly to customers over the phone and ensure its vehicles are on schedule.

"The benefits have been immediate," says partner Kevin Brown. "We are now able to respond immediately to customers who call in saying 'I need a pick-up this afternoon', rather than having to go away, find out if there are any vehicles available, then go back to the customer only to find out they've gone elsewhere!

"There are significant cost benefits from our insurance company as a result of the risk management enhancements of having a telematics implementation."
