Yellow cab should have called us

I find a lot of time is spent explaining to business people why theyneed my software. This week on the blog, I would like to give a relevant example of why our Tony fleet management tool can save you time and money.

This week, the Chicago Tribune had an article about the Yellow Cab Company filing for bankruptcy in the city.  The events moved swiftly, with the company filing bankruptcy less than twelve hours after being hit with a $25.9 million judgment for a 2005 accident.  One of the company's cabs went into a drainage ditch and hit a concrete barrier, causing irreparable brain damage to one of the passengers, hence the multi-million dollar judgment.

When lawyers get involved in accidents, everything is going to be questioned by a jury and rival attorneys.  This means the maintenance records of the vehicles could be subpoenaed in court.  If standard maintenance is done and you can prove it, you can limit the liability to your business when accidents happen. Unfortunately, we do not know all the evidence presented in the case. Still, it is evident, based on the news story, that the accident involved driver negligence and possible break failure.

Our Tony fleet management software can help you protect your business from lawsuits and possible bankruptcy.  We can track maintenance and provide you with ways to physically archive any information related to the operation of your equipment.  It works with mobile devices, tablets, and standard PCs.  This means that you can keep track of the health of your vehicle fleet or equipment at any time or anywhere.  All you need is a connection to the internet.

We work hard to build our businesses.  We should not put them in jeopardy just because we cannot keep track of paperwork or maintenance.  Contact us today, and we can show you how our Tony fleet management tool can protect your business.

Until next time.
