“We trust our people, why would we need vehicle tracking?” This is a great question when you are initially looking at vehicle tracking, a person’s first reaction is to think of tracking as a big brother scenario only, but it really is a phenominal management tool. It is a tool that can be used to promote efficiency and help to make better decisions that cut expenses.
If you are running an on-demand business and a call comes in, you will have the luxury of knowing where your vehicles are while you are still talking to your prospective customer. You will have the ability to route the closest vehicle so their is no waste of fuel. With the cost of fuel these days any reduction in your total fuel consumption can have a big effect on the bottom line!
Are you maximizing your entire fleet? A good quality GPS tracking system should be able to show you the total use of all vehicles so you know that all vehicles are being used to their fullest, this is a great way to know when it’s time to buy more vehicles!
Lastly, and certainly not least, many insurance providers will offer a reduction in premiums when a quality tracking system is in place. The insurance companies know the benefits that are found through driver behavior changes. Not to mention the time to recover a stolen vehicle is reduced greatly and the chance of getting one back are increased greatly.
Lots to think about…
