Challenge

As part of the largest sign franchise in the world, the team at Signarama Redding helps businesses grow: illuminated storefront signs, trade show and event displays, vehicle graphics, building and standalone signs, window and wall installations, banners, flags, awnings, you name it! These signage experts are deeply embedded in their California community.

In their work as signage specialists, the Signarama team does lots of site-specific work: evaluating job sites, collecting comprehensive measurements, and installing custom materials are all key to their day-to-day work. In order to provide custom sales, service, and repairs to customers on location, they rely on a fleet of vehicles for regular travel. The team needed a simple solution to track both keys and usage of their very busy fleet.

Solution

The Keycafe system instantly streamlined Signarama’s fleet management. Gone was the uncertainty around where a vehicle might be: the checkout record was available online any time. Having a required check-in and check-out box also eliminated lost or “forgotten” keys, and made it simple to contact drivers when necessary.

In addition to simpler management, the accountability of logging keys means that drivers now take accountability for their vehicles: gas tanks are returned full, damages are monitored, and schedules are consistently tracked, too. No more uncertainty.

Result

Keycafe completely changed fleet management at Signarama. With every driver logging their time and usage, problems like random vehicle damage or routinely empty gas tanks have become a thing of the past. The simple, easy-to-use system means that every single key finds its way back to headquarters faster, and with fewer concerns. No hassle, and less stress!

The daily time savings certainly doesn’t hurt, either: the team estimates that each member saves up to two hours a month via the Keycafe system. Improved efficiency means that everyone works together, vehicle management is shared across the team, and resources are readily available when needed – without questions.
