US Rokbak dealer GT Mid Atlantic has revolutionized customer service by leveraging telematics systems to enhance equipment efficiency and uptime. Recognizing the immense benefits, the dealer established a dedicated unit to monitor equipment, resulting in a significant success story.
With a vast rental fleet of around 600 machines, including 74 Rokbak articulated haulers, GT Mid Atlantic faces the challenge of managing and tracking equipment across multiple locations. Fortunately, Rokbak’s Haul Track telematics system simplifies this task.
Operating across various states, GT Mid Atlantic’s New Jersey branch features a dedicated technical control area, known as the ‘War Room,’ solely focused on telematics monitoring. This strategic initiative allows the team to optimize customer uptime and productivity by tracking equipment location, usage, loads, and performance metrics in real-time.

The War Room, equipped with multiple screens displaying telematics data, is staffed by a full-time manager responsible for monitoring machine health and initiating preventative maintenance measures. Telematics alerts enable proactive communication with customers, ensuring timely resolution of potential issues.
