How Can GPS Tracking Help Your Fleet?

November 2, 2010 – As technology advances and time management becomes more important, the need for GPS tracking also increases. GPS tracking has many benefits for the fleet manager and their company. Here are some benefits of GPS tracking you can experience:

Monitor Idling Times — The biggest expense for most companies is fuel. Some drivers leave their trucks idling during deliveries so that they can maintain a comfortable cab climate, this uses a lot of fuel. GPS tracking devices can help you lower these costs by monitoring idle times. The user has the ability to set up alerts, so that when a given employee idles for too long you can be notified. Cutting down on excessive idling saves on fuel and also cuts down on greenhouse gases.

Lower Fuel Consumption – Routing capabilities and monitoring speed are two ways that GPS tracking can lower fuel consumption. Having the ability to route the closet truck will cut down on mileage, which saves you money. Many companies are starting to use GPS tracking to monitor off-hour use of company vehicles. Add all three (3) of these events together and your company could see a decrease in the amount of fuel used each month.

Vehicle Location – Having an up-to-date location of where your fleet is, is a time saving feature. This can help provide flexibility in dispatching and also your company can track the amount of time your employee’s are at a given location. Both of these help your company and your customers. All of this information is readily available and can help improve your business operations.
