Fleet tracking uses GPS to monitor the activity of company vehicles.
Five Advantages of Fleet Tracking:
- Reduce Fleet Maintenance Costs – Vehicle tracking systems provide a variety of data as to when Fleet maintenance is due. When analysing all of this data it will eliminate any unnecessary vehicle inspections, only showing the necessary changes that are needed. Saving costs and extending the lifespan of vehicles.
- Reduces Insurance Costs – Fleet tracking allows drivers behaviour to be monitored, encouraging them to drive safely responsibly when in possession of companies vehicles. Furthermore, it will show if vehicles have deviated from the expected course bringing up an alert. This improves the chance of recovery if the vehicle or any cargo inside of the vehicle has been stolen. In addition, tracking systems also provide route replay, allowing managers to identify patterns of any unauthorized stops and side trips.
- Improve Fleet Productivity – In order to reduce operating costs and improve asset utilization Fleet tracking is needed. Fleet managers will need to have the exact location/journey marked in order to highlight any problem areas to then notify the driver. Having visibility of an entire fleet helps managers monitor their vehicles more efficiently, reducing empty miles, improving vehicle utilization.
- Improve Customer Satisfaction – This can be one of the biggest benefits to Fleet tracking. Companies are incorporating Fleet status which allows customers to track when and where their parcel is, giving an accurate time of arrival. Companies are then providing a five star customer experience.
- Improve Time Management – Using GPS to track vehicles you can remotely track and monitor the field crew on when they started and stopped their route. Online reports can be set up, providing the hours a driver has worked so they are paid fairly, eliminating unnecessary paperwork, eliminating overbilling and improving payroll management.
