Spireon Solutions

Asset Intelligence

You need the ability to constantly monitor the crucial aspects of protection, safety, cost reduction and efficiency of remote assets. Visibility triggers real-time action that enables you to shape outcomes – the future. From underutilized assets to travel times, from door alarms to empty miles, you see the information you need to quickly and effectively control operational efficiency, cargo security, customer satisfaction and cost control.

With Sperion, the return on investment is quick and certain. Our solutions deliver better business efficiencies, increased asset utilization and data that can help you transform your operation. The user friendly web based user interface brings your mobile assets into clear view and to your fingertips for total control.

Asset Optimization

Trucking and logistics companies are constantly looking for ways to optimize utilization, reduce operational costs and improve customer service. The key? Being able to see essential decision-driving data in time in order to capitalize on it. Fleets need real-time alerts on trailer status, location, history and door activity. You choose which alerts you want and how often – including managing by exception.

Adaptability is the key. Get exactly the information you need, including custom options. Every business is unique. That’s why Sperion lets you choose the information that matters to you, the timing and the frequency. These solutions deliver a high ROI in a very short period of time. Customers have critical visibility to control their operations and the flexibility to rapidly deploy new assets and distribution strategies.

Preventative Maintenance

A transportation or logistics company has to constantly balance preventative and corrective maintenance needs with getting loads delivered on time. Customers consider it critical to have reliable equipment moving their freight and repeated service failures would be a red flag for a long term relationship.

In addition to managing a proactive maintenance plan, the safety of the equipment is critical for drivers and the reputation of the trucking or logistics companies. A poor safety record would deter both drivers and customers and significant safety errors can result in fines from local and national government agencies that can be very costly.

Sperion offers preventative maintenance solutions by converting sensor data into proactive notifications of what’s happening in and around your fleet – detecting potential problems before they occur. Integrating the sensor data with a wealth of real-world maintenance logs maintained by the major software providers, we help our customers reduce maintenance turnaround time, improve safety, and reduce the need for costly repairs, while prolonging the usability of your assets.

Payment Reminders

With the help of technology that enables “safe” lending, companies can extend credit to borrowers with lower FICO scores, and still have a profitable loan portfolio. This technological advantage has allowed automotive dealers and lenders to price their loans more competitively, thus gaining market share.

Decrease Loan Delinquencies

With the implementation of an Automotive GPS or Collateral Management Solution (CMS), the borrower is reminded of the loan terms with the help of payment reminders, starter interrupt and GPS. This results in the lender receiving timely loan payments.

According to the NABD survey, 74 percent of financers said that using an Automotive GPS Solution or CMS with payment reminders reduced delinquency rates by more than 10 percent. For a large lender or dealer, this means hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in collected revenue. You’ll spend less time and fewer collections resources following up with delinquent customers; saving you more.

Best yet, the subprime customer benefits too from having a tool to help rebuild his credit.

Risk Mitigation

With the demand for sub-prime loans increasing, a growing number of automotive dealers and lenders are turning to GPS and Collateral Management Solutions (CMS) to help them manage their portfolio risk.

Prior to technology advancements that created today’s Automotive GPS and Collateral Management Solutions, most dealers and lenders worked only with predictive models and were based solely on historical financial data to estimate borrower behavior. Financing was extended to a borrower based on a retrospective statistical model of payment patterns.

Little, if anything, could be done to improve the likelihood that borrowers would repay the loan on a go-forward basis. This left the lender exposed to the inefficiencies and false information common in sub-prime lending.

The greatest risk in subprime lending is the complete loss of collateral – when the borrower defaults, the dealer or lender are often unable to recover the vehicle.

Spireon’s dealer and lender information platforms have greatly reduced this problem. Helping to protect your inventory, close more loans, and encouraging customers make their payments — on time.
