The challenge for Frei + Partner AG
Frei + Partner AG, based in Wil (Switzerland), is a construction company with a solid reputation for completing projects – from residential buildings to infrastructure works.
Since its founding in 1975, the company has become a trusted name in the region. With an experienced team and a strong focus on quality, customer satisfaction, and sustainability, Frei + Partner AG also aims to maintain professional excellence in administration and trip management.
“For us, it is absolutely essential to know where our 18 vehicles are located,” says Mr. Daniel Sturzenegger, site manager and right-hand man of managing director Sven Frei. “Transparency is key, both for our clients and internally. Only accurate invoicing provides the foundation for long-term customer relationships.”
“In addition, our employees may, upon agreement, use the vehicles for private purposes. In such cases, it is important for us to have clear proof through trip registration,” concludes Mr. Sturzenegger.
The solution: ProDongle Track & Trace
Faced with this operational challenge, Frei + Partner AG chose the Track & Trace solutions from ProDongle.
“The great advantage of ProDongle’s Plug & Play trackers is the simple installation,” says Mr. Sturzenegger. “You just plug the dongle into the vehicle’s OBD port, and within seconds the system is up and running.”
Each vehicle is instantly connected to the application, allowing Frei + Partner AG to monitor its fleet in real time via PC, smartphone or tablet.
Benefits of ProDongle: accurate invoicing and cost savings
The ProDongle web app provides access to stored client addresses, allowing trips and working hours to be accurately linked to the correct project and customer.
With ProDongle Trip Registration, the Frei + Partner team can demonstrate when employees arrive on-site, when they leave, and how many working hours were actually performed.
The ProDongle maintenance solution ensures that maintenance intervals are never forgotten, while the ProDongle driving behaviour solution helps reduce fuel consumption and vehicle wear.
“We use all ProDongle features every week. They help us systematically reduce costs,” concludes the site manager.
Tracking private use with ProDongle
Employees at Frei + Partner AG may, upon agreement, use vehicles privately. Thanks to ProDongle Trip Registration, there is a clear overview of all business and private kilometres driven. This provides objective proof of all trips made, eliminating any discussions or misunderstandings.
