PERI and ForkOn have joined forces to enhance the fleet management of the renowned manufacturer of formwork and scaffolding materials and a leading provider of 3D concrete printing. This innovative partnership aims to increase the efficiency and safety of PERI’s forklift fleet.
Reinhold Strobel, Head of the Logistics Competence Center at PERI Germany, is passionately committed to improving operational processes and enhancing safety. Challenges in fleet management led him to ForkOn, a leading provider of manufacturer-independent solutions.
ForkOn offers a comprehensive solution based on state-of-the-art cloud software and advanced telematics hardware. This setup allows companies to manage their fleets with unparalleled transparency, control, and optimization.
Tim Klauke, CEO and Founder of ForkOn, explains:

Before this partnership, PERI faced challenges such as the lack of real-time fleet monitoring and inefficient maintenance documentation. Strobel recalls, “Before the system was implemented, we struggled to maintain an accurate overview of our forklift fleet. This led to manual processes and limited insights into utilization and costs.”
The implementation of ForkOn’s solution resulted in noticeable improvements.
“The introduction of the fleet management system with telematics immediately helped us make quick decisions due to the improved transparency. We were able to flexibly move forklifts between locations, avoiding downtime without relying on additional rental forklifts.”

“The implementation of the system brought a range of benefits. We were able to standardize our processes, digitize damage reports and technician assignments, and centrally store important documents. This has reduced downtime and increased efficiency. Additionally, automatic inspection reminders help minimize risks,” adds Strobel.
Particularly noteworthy is the system’s utilization module.
“The software and the utilization module of the system proved to be especially valuable. These features allow us to optimize our fleet management and use resources efficiently,” Strobel emphasizes.
The successful collaboration led to measurable results.
“The integration and installation of the system went smoothly thanks to the cooperative collaboration with ForkOn. We were able to implement the hardware and software at 9 locations with around 100 vehicles within 2 months. Our employees are very satisfied with the system and have responded positively to the implementation and the project.”

In conclusion, Strobel highlights the positive collaboration with ForkOn: “The cooperation with ForkOn during the implementation process was extremely positive. The support was exemplary, our contacts were always available, often responding on the same day. I would rate the likelihood of recommending ForkOn as a 10. ForkOn’s solutions have improved our processes and brought positive changes to our fleet management.”
