Impact, Small Company Category Winner
Camping Companies
Camping Companies is
the largest automobile repossession firm in the United
States.
The family-owned business has 12 offices in five states—
Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Oklahoma—and
handles repossessions for lien holders that include
major banks, credit unions, and the financing arms of
large companies such as Ford Motor Company.
Objective
Camping Companies wanted to reduce the amount of unnecessary
hours and labor workers spent on administrative tasks
in order to free up more time to grow its business.
The primary goal was to do away with paperwork and the
inefficiencies of a manual system. Under the old system,
a repossession order came in via fax and that piece
of paper was touched a minimum of 64 times before the
job was closed. Going electronic meant staff spent less
time entering data, printing reports, routing paper,
making phone calls and fixing inaccurate data. Another
element was eliminating the wasted driving time that
employees spent having to report back to the office
to grab the paperwork needed for the next job. Going
wireless meant drivers could stay out in the field longer
and complete more jobs per day.
Solution Description
Ruggedized laptops mounted in stealth tow
trucks to create "virtual offices" on wheels.
Patent-pending Re-Pros software to eliminate
paper processing.
Wireless connectivity using Sprint PC cards
and CDMA2000 connectivity.
Results
15% increase in annual revenues since implementation
50% jump in field personnel productivity
30% savings in time for customers (lien holders)
Virtually eliminates wrongful repossessions.
