Fleet tracking can be defined simply as the use
of GPS systems to monitor vehicles in any
location. Many companies have considered it a
vital asset for daily operations as it relates to
boosting fleet performance. Even the managers
responsible for the fleet can attest to cost
reduction after utilizing fleet tracking for just
a couple of days. So with that in mind, let into
more details on how tracking your fleet is
beneficial.

Safety improvement By increasing navigation
capabilities with fleet tracking, a new sense of
security is provided seeing that you will know
exactly where your drivers are and you will be
able to keep an open line of communication to
keep them safe while driving. There are also
cases where the truck can experience mechanical
failure and the line of communication may have
failed. With the tracking system in place, its
easy for the company to identify the vehicles
location and send roadside assistance immediately.

Productivity boost With a gps tracking system in
place, it allows a company to efficiently
regulate the process of dispatching by making
sure that the correct driver is assigned to each
task. With help from other useful technology, a
management team is able to quickly identify less
congested routes for traveling and relay this
information to the relevant driver. This can be
particularly helpful in poor weather conditions,
seeing that drivers can be instantly reassigned
alternate routes when others become impassable.

Lower cost of labor For this instance, vehicle
tracking can help to reduce dependence on time
sheets and it also puts punch card issues to bed
permanently. The system will help with providing
data as it relates to the time driver begin to
work, the number of stops made and where they
were made so for those who are familiar with
being idle on company time will now have to think
twice about their actions on the job.

Fuel cost reduction There are several fleet
tracking devices available on the market that are
so detailed, that the increased efficiency of a
fleet can be almost guaranteed. This means that
some of them are equipped with other monitoring
devices that can tell which routes are best to
use while saving gas. Others can also tell which
truck is going over the designated speed limit
and wasting fuel. This over-excessive consumption
of fuel can be drastically reduced by applying
regulation as it relates to allotted break
periods and so forth. All this data is
centralized, so whoever is responsible for fleet
management will be able to pull records on
request, identify problems and put plans in place
to correct them in an attempt to save money.
