“Speeding was the biggest issue. And without proof, drivers could always deny it. With BrickHouse GPS in place, we finally had the data to hold people accountable and protect our customer’s vehicles.”
— Nick Childers, IT Director, Valiant Management & Holdings LLC
The Roadblock
As operations scaled, Valiant began receiving concerns about drivers speeding in brand-new vehicles. The issue created real risk for the vehicles, the drivers, and the manufacturers trusting Valiant with their assets. Without clear visibility, these situations often turned into one person’s word against another’s.
Finding a Smarter Way
Valiant needed reliable, real-time data they could stand behind, and a solution flexible enough to work with the internal systems they already used. BrickHouse GPS provided that foundation. GPS trackers were assigned to drivers and integrated directly into Valiant’s custom software, allowing speed and location data to flow seamlessly into daily operations.
When a driver exceeds set speed limits, BrickHouse GPS data triggers automated alerts through Valiant’s internal tools. Managers are notified immediately, making it easy to address issues in real time.
“We needed something solid, something we could trust.”
— Nick Childers, IT Director, Valiant Management & Holdings LLC
“It tells us right away when something’s off.”
— Dixan Mastrapa, Assistant IT Director, Valiant Management & Holdings LLC
Peace of Mind
The results were immediate. Once drivers knew the data was there, speeding incidents stopped. Violations became easy to verify, disputes disappeared, and accountability felt fair and consistent.
On the first day the system went live, a driver deviated from their assigned route and disappeared for nearly an hour. Using BrickHouse GPS data, the issue was identified immediately and addressed, setting clear expectations across the entire operation.
While Valiant doesn’t track specific cost savings, the system significantly reduced risk and helped protect vehicles, drivers, and customer relationships.
“Once the data was there, there was nothing to argue.”
— Nick Childers, IT Director, Valiant Management & Holdings LLC
“We greatly appreciate BrickHouse GPS and would recommend their devices. With their system and our PowerShell scripts, we’re able to track speed violations and hold drivers accountable while protecting our customer’s vehicles.”
