Have you ever switched your computer off at 6:00 pm and asked if one or more of its company vehicles? Have you ever looked with astonishment at the fuel line in the monthly finance report? Have you ever wondered why so many customer complaints about the service time of response? Putting a GPS in each vehicle and the initiation of fleet tracking the guesswork of business management.

At a surprisingly low price, you can equip each vehicle owned your company – in company vehicles to travel long trucks – with a GPS tracking device. This system enables fleet tracking, which are sent and receive satellite signals. Then, you have access to a wide range of vehicles and driver information and the ability to communicate critical information for their 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, accountant) spent on paperwork.

– Automatic billing and applications reduce payroll errors.

– More efficient routes and speeds results in less mileage and lower fuel costs.

– More efficient route reduces the additional stops.

– More efficient routes and reducing idling driving.

– Ability to redirect the vehicle more close to the urgent needs.

– Follow-up eliminates the unauthorized use of company cars.

– Eradication of employee fraud.

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

– Drivers protected by monitoring the fleet off to customer complaints false accusations and dangerous driving.

– Quick recovery of stolen vehicles.

– Delivery more efficient products and services.

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

– Possible reduction in vehicle insurance costs.

Monitoring of the fleet will provide a variety of standard and custom reports on the history vehicle, driver history, security statistics, managed economies, and payroll and billing. You can monitor the location of each vehicle on a single screen view or in greater detail. You can view the status of the vehicle from the office or in a hand device from anywhere. You can even access to statistical information from remote locations to help answer questions or complaints from customers, cost estimates and schedules for new customers or clients, and provide immediate assistance to drivers.

A recent Aberdeen Group study documented a 23% increase in the total number of service calls completed per day per technician in organizations with small fleets, fleet tracking when GPS was installed in their vehicles. How would an increase 23% of the average profitability of your business if achieved through its entire fleet?

Do you save on overtime pay if all the technicians were capable of achieving a 23% increase in productivity and reduce 23% of overtime pay for the monitoring of the fleet? When technicians are more efficient and non-productive only to finish their job faster, but also enable supervisors, managers and others to eliminate overtime, too.

Now consider the impact on your fuel bill if you were able to remove all excess speed (more than 60 miles per hour), reduce downtime, use to ensure the fastest, most direct and most effective routes of all drivers, and eliminate unauthorized vehicle use by monitoring the fleet? Then add to this saving of the additional amount of fuel can be saved if all employees authorized to drive company vehicles were safe drivers and efficient.

Finally, by maintaining the alerts and the ability to schedule follow-up of a fleet tracking system can ensure that their vehicles are operating in optimum conditions, the most effective and reduce the number of repairs needed, while on the road. This prevents vehicles in the long road, saves the costs associated with rupture of avoiding humiliation, and improves fuel efficiency. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that an engine tuned mpg correctly saves up to 4%. Immediate repair of a major mechanical problem, they say it will improve mpg by as much as 40%.

Consideration of all forms GPS fleet tracking can help achieve reductions in operating costs and improve productivity makes it easy to see how the fleet monitoring the guesswork business management.
