Hello, and welcome to Karooooo's Fiscal Financial Year 2024 Q2 Earnings Call. On behalf of Karooooo, we'd like to thank you for joining us today. I'm Carmen, the Group's Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer; and together with Hoeshin, our Group Chief Financial Officer, we will be taking you through our strong business updates and financials.
All investors are advised to read through the disclaimer. We will be reviewing all three of Karooooo's business units in today's webinar, namely Cartrack, Carzuka, and Karooooo Logistics. Karooooo continues to believe in our mission to be the leading operations cloud and we see how we are helping to set the path for tomorrow for operational businesses with our platform.
Industry-leading customers consult with us on how to improve their operations and tackle their day-to-day challenges. And our ability to think beyond connected vehicles and equipment has been pivotal in delivering a cloud that connects an entire operation in one place to achieve real business impact.
Despite the varying macroeconomic environments we encountered, digitalization, ESG and compliance continue to be strong drivers for demand of our platform. Our platform offers the flexibility customers need to digitalize their operation at their own pace, and in a way that makes sense for them. Whether it is digital forms that facilitate workers and drivers to complete their workflows effectively via mobile app, coaching solutions that generate success and provide accountability, risk management tools that enable quick resolutions and full audit trails, automated carbon emission reporting and progress tracking or detailed productivity reporting for optimized operations, our platform fits into an operation for success.
Additionally, customers can integrate with their existing tools such as fuel card providers and ERPs to further curate insights that suit their needs. By partnering with our customers to understand their operation and help tackle their challenges, we get deep insight and knowledge to continue adding innovative features to our platform to further increase the value customers get and the importance we play in optimizing their operation. Our platform brings both operational and non-operational teams together and helps companies remain compliant, competitive in their industries, and most importantly, forward-thinking.
To illustrate how our platform impacts a customer's operation, we can take a look into an existing customer. A large furniture manufacturer that delivers their own goods needed a way to alleviate their administrative burden whilst improving their operations with delivery fees often impacting a customer's decision to buy, offering competitive rates was critical to their operation. After 10 days of implementing our delivery management tool, our customers saw returns at large with our easy-to-use solution that optimizes all jobs across drivers and provides optimal routes, as well as a practical mobile app for drivers to receive everything they need to excel at their job, our customers successfully saved four liters of diesel per vehicle per day. With this reduction, they're on track to exceeding their sustainability goals and reducing their carbon emissions by over 2,800 kilograms per vehicle per year.
