Insights from Pacific Western Transportation
“Cetaris’ ongoing progressiveness has been impressive: from a software system functionality and software technology perspective, to their ambitious product roadmap. Our corporate wide reengineering project, Project Retorque, showed us variations and opportunities in our maintenance operations across our operating companies. The project is driving our focus to continue to get better data using Cetaris Fleet to mature our data-driven decision making. These new insights from Cetaris allow us to provide the best possible care to our customers, to keep our vehicles in top condition, and most importantly to always exceed our customers’ expectations.”
-Thomas Schmidt, Vice President of Information Technology at PWT.
Insights from Cetaris
“We are proud that Pacific Western Transportation has been able to use Cetaris Fleet to continuously improve their maintenance operation for more than fifteen years. Early in their Cetaris implementation, PWT created a set of standard jobs based on best practices to standardize and improve efficiency across all maintenance locations. They also went the extra mile and put in place a system to continuously improve those standard jobs. PWT is a people-focused company, they are always looking for ways to improve, and they fundamentally believe in working together in a partnership with their suppliers to create a symbiotic relationship. As they build out their company’s capabilities, they push us to better ours too, so we can better support PWT, and all our customers.”
–Larry McLennan, Vice President of Professional Services at Cetaris
