Fleet Tracking Takes the Guesswork Out of Business Management

Have you ever turned off your computer at 6:00 pm and wondered where one or more of your company vehicles were? Have you ever looked in amazement at the fuel cost line in the monthly finance report? Have you ever wondered why there are so many customer complaints about service response time? Putting a GPS device in each vehicle and initiating fleet tracking takes the guesswork out of business management.

At a surprisingly low cost, you can equip every vehicle owned by your company – from company cars to long-haul tractor trailers – with a GPS tracking device. This device enables fleet tracking, which will send and receive signals via satellite. You will then have access to a broad range of vehicle and driver information, real time as well as the ability to communicate critical information to your vehicles (and drivers) that will increase efficiency and productivity.

Fleet tracking can help you achieve the following results for your company:

– Reduced time (driver, manager, accounting) spent on paperwork.

– Automated billing and payroll applications reduce errors.

– More efficient routes and speeds resulting in lower mileage and lower fuel expense.

– More efficient routing reduces extra stops.

– More efficient routing and driving reduces idling times.

– Ability to redirect the closest vehicle for urgent needs.

– Tracking eliminates unauthorized use of company vehicles.

– Eradication of employee fraud.

– Ability to improve safe-driving habits and fuel-efficient driving habits.

– Drivers protected by fleet tracking against false customer claims and dangerous driving accusations.

– Rapid recovery of stolen vehicles.

– More efficient delivery of products and services.

– Ability to document key performance metrics for employee recognition or retraining.

– Possible reduction in vehicle insurance costs.

Fleet tracking will provide a myriad of standard and customized reports on vehicle history, driver history, safety statistics, economies achieved, and payroll and billing information. You can monitor the location of every vehicle in a single screen view or in greater detail. You can view vehicle status from the office or on a hand-held device from anywhere. You can even access statistical information from remote locations to help you answer customer questions or complaints, estimate costs and schedules for new clients or customers, and provide instant assistance to drivers.

A recent study by the Aberdeen Group documented a 23% increase in total number of service calls completed per day per technician in organizations with small fleets when GPS fleet tracking was installed in their vehicles. What would a 23% increase in profitability mean for your company if achieved across your entire fleet?

What would you save in overtime pay if all of your technicians were able to achieve a 23% productivity increase and reduce 23% of overtime pay with fleet tracking? When technicians are more efficient and productive, not only do they finish their work faster, they also enable supervisors, managers and others to eliminate overtime, as well.
