5 Biggest Benefits of GPS Devices
What Benefits Will You Look Forward To?
Increased Productivity
With GPS tracking solutions, you will be able to receive automated reports on a daily, weekly, or monthly bases — whatever will give you the most control. If you set up bi-weekly reports and decide you want one early, you can generate a report on demand.
These generated reports will give you a variety of information that you can use to increase the performance of your fleet drivers. Data will include information about daily vehicle activity, speeding violations, violations of company driving policies, a list of vehicle start and stops, idling times, and much more.
Along with reports, you can receive alerts, which will notify you of unwanted behavior. There are various alerts that you can receive, just chose the alerts that you believe will give you the most beneficial information and will pertain the most to your business. Alerts could be triggered for speeding, idling, engine start or shut down during off-hours, unauthorized vehicle usage, or when the vehicle enters or exits specific areas.
Proof of Service
Paperwork that verifies a service was completed can be lost in the shuffle, but GPS tracking devices provide proof that a delivery or service vehicle arrived at their destination, when they arrived, and when they left. If your drivers have ever been accused of not completing a service, when in reality they did, GPS solutions make it easier to verify that the job was completed.
Most Efficient Routing
Whether you run an emergency medical dispatch or road assistance company, being able to dispatch the closest vehicle possible could have incredible, possibly life-saving benefits. With GPS tracking devices, you will know exactly where the closest vehicle is, and you will be able to tell them which route is the shortest or has less traffic. This will get drivers to their customers faster and more efficiently, improving customer service.
Fleet managers will also be able to identify when vehicles are being used for unauthorized uses or when drivers intentionally take a longer route to a job site. Having this information will help improve fuel costs, reduce vehicle mileage, and increase job productivity.
Maintenance
Our routine maintenance features allow fleet managers to know when their vehicles are due for routine maintenance. Proper maintenance, including oil changes, brake changes, and fluid changes, help ensure that your vehicles are compliant with safety guidelines and can help reduce larger repair costs in the long run.
Driver Behavior
Improving driver behavior which will reduce your fleet costs in the long run. Our GPS tracking devices capture a variety of information regarding driving behavior, including vehicle speed, engine start up and shut down, and idling time. This information can help to enforce driving policies and unwanted driving behaviors like excessive speeding, tardiness, and extended vehicle idling.
Our GPS solutions can also be used for providing automated timesheets. You can know exactly when an employee starts work, how long the employee takes for lunches and breaks, and when they stop working for the day without having to rely on manual timesheets.
