Top Reasons to Use Web-Based Fleet GPS Tracking Systems
GPS (Global Positioning Systems) are ideal solutions for fleet managers due to the capabilities of the software and hardware.
The following are the top eight reasons to utilize web-based GPS fleet tracking systems:
1. Reduce fuel costs
Tracking devices installed in the vehicles allow companies to monitor the actual fuel consumption against what is being reported by the employee. You will also avoid additional fuel costs by quickly setting up drivers routes in advance – this includes ability to provide turn by turn directions through Garmin navigation units. This will reduce labor costs, fuel costs and can help to add additional jobs due to time saved.
2. Increase productivity
Since the employees know they are being monitored, this results in a decrease of the vehicle for personal use or side jobs; therefore, a decrease in fuel consumption and labor costs. In addition, your company can find out where a particular vehicle is in relation to a customer, in which case you can provide ETAs. You will know if drivers are making unauthorized stops and if they are arriving for deliveries or pickups later than anticipated.
3. Speed Reports/Alerts
GPS Fleet Management Systems permit fleet managers to automatically receive speed reports. Proper use of such reporting will lead to a reduction in overall fleet costs. In addition, selected personnel may be alerted if established speed thresholds are violated. Notification may come in the form of a text message or email.
4. Off Hours Reports/Alerts
GPS Fleet Tracking Systems permit fleet managers to automatically receive reports that let them know when a vehicle was started or utilized outside of the traditional work hours established by management. Such a tool, permits the use off GPS Fleet Tracking Systems to deter the use of a companies vehicle for side jobs. Vehicle theft is also limited.
5. Idle Time Reports/Alerts
GPS Fleet Management Systems permit fleet managers to automatically receive reports that assist them in reducing fuel usage by reducing the amount of time a vehicle is sitting still with the engine running. Such reporting also greatly assists in the effort to reduce emissions. Beyond reports, fleet tracking systems also provides alerts. If a vehicle is sitting idle beyond the permitted threshold, an alert will be sent either via text message or email.
6. Theft recovery
With GPS fleet tracking, you are able to track your stolen vehicle on-line and assist law enforcement with the recovery of your vehicle. GPS fleet tracking systems permit you to disengage the ignition. Therefore, once your stolen vehicle is turned off, you can disengage the starter. Therefore, the thief will not be able to re-start your asset. Again, instant alerts are available if equipment is moved after hours.
7. Vehicle maintenance management
Most GPS fleet tracking systems, including the UTS GPS tracking system, include maintenance management to track when the vehicles reach manufacturer suggested mileage points. In fact, Networkcar provides exact mileage updates and automatically sends maintenance alerts to the fleet manager. These GPS fleet tracking systems greatly assist with predictive maintenance as well, because fleet managers are able to see the problem as it develops – this can result in savings of thousands of dollars!
8. Increase customer satisfaction
Being able to provide exact arrival times, avoiding potential downtime through theft recovery and maintenance management, and increasing overall productivity will greatly impact customer satisfaction. In addition, by using UTS along with Garmin navigation, your employees will be able to definitively mark arrival times, customer arrival times, etc. No longer will a customer be able to say that your employee was 15 minutes late, when in fact he/she was 5 minutes early. In addition, GPS fleet tracking permits you to provide ETAs (Estimated Time of Arrival).
How does GPS Fleet Tracking Work?
The locator device, or "black box", located inside the vehicle or asset receives signals from GPS satellites to determine its current location. The mapping software displays your asset’s location on your computer screen. The black box then acts as a wireless modem to transmit these inputs through land-based cellular networks. The information is then processed in an operations center. Last, but not least, it is passed on to you via the Internet. The UTS GPS fleet tracking system allows interaction with the system through the web, mobile phones, and telephones with a hard-wired system. Networkcar’s unit connects either through the vehicle’s on-board computer or hard-wired.
Whether you have a fleet of 10 or 100, GPS fleet tracking technology alleviates all of the administration nightmares of a typical fleet environment. The increasing popularity is attributed to the benefits of supervision, labor savings, employee efficiency, fuel costs and maintenance management. What is the ultimate objective? A tremendous impact to your bottom line!
