Abbey Party Rents, Inc.
Abbey Party Rents is a Dallas/Fort Worth, TX-based event supply and prop rental company.  Abbey specialize in renting tents, tables, chairs, linens, dishes, decorations, serving items and props for corporate events, parties, theatrical productions, movies and conventions.  Abbey has a fleet of 15 trucks at three locations to deliver rental items to and pick up items from their customers.  Abbey recognized a need to automate their routing and dispatch functions and called Empower to help.  Empower installed ArcLogistics™ Route by ESRI in Abbey's central dispatch location and trained their dispatchers.  We also created a custom report within ArcLogistics Route called the "Events and Tents" report that shows all upcoming major events in a calendar format.  Abbey uses the Events and Tents report to manage their workload and to plan their labor requirements.

GMR Protection Resources, Inc.
GMR Protection Resources provides safety-auditing services to the banking industry.  These services entail on-site inspections of bank and remote ATM locations to ensure proper lighting and compliance with Federal and State safety regulations.  GMR often contracts with financial institutions to inspect all facilities in a State or multi-State region, usually involving hundreds of locations.  GMR technicians usually inspect approximately 15 locations per night.  Creating nightly work schedules for their technicians was extremely difficult and time consuming for GMR until they implemented ArcLogistics Route by ESRI.  Now, GMR simply imports a list of customer locations into ArcLogistics Route, and the vehicle routing software determines the locations and stop sequence on each technician's route.
