Misericordia University implemented Azuga Fleet GPS tracking across its campus vehicles after its insurer offered the platform at no cost. The system provided real-time location, speed, and breadcrumb data that campus safety used to support accident investigations and monitor driver behavior. During a February incident, the university tracked a stolen van at speeds over 90 mph and relayed its exact location to police, enabling recovery without damage and avoiding an insurance claim.

Key takeaways

Real-time GPS breadcrumb data enabled precise location sharing with police during a high-speed pursuit

Fleet tracking supplied speed and location evidence to support driver statements after incidents

Idle time and route history allowed managers to verify employee task completion on campus

Insurance premium discounts were obtained through participation in the PHLYTRAC program

Stolen vehicle was recovered undamaged, valued at $25,000, avoiding claim and rate increase
