The facilities maintained by the district include school facilities, bus / motor pool facilities, warehouses, teacher housing units, and other support infrastructure to carry out the District’s mission of providing exemplary K – 12 education.
To help keep up with the workload, the District turned to thingtech and their flagship GPS tracking solution to help track worker productivity, location, and equipment conditions. “We’re thrilled to assist the Gallup McKinley School District maintain their fleet and school district facilities. Our solution is simple, yet powerful and extends a standard GPS system into a mission critical, work management business system for maintenance operations.” says Brian Corcoran, President of thingtech.

As an example, warehouse operations includes a fleet of vehicles that delivers food to each school facility in the district and requires refrigeration while in transit.

The system is so intuitive that I personally set up 90% of our solution before training even started.” says Ron Triplehorn, Maintenance and Operations Director.
