Two issues that are very much on the minds of most people are the economy and the environment. For businesses operating a fleet of vehicles (of any kind), the two are inextricably intertwined. The good news is that installing a new state-of-the-art GPS fleet tracking system in your vehicles will help you increase productivity, reduce costs, improve fuel efficiency and even reduce emissions. In addition, you can improve customer service, increase the life of your vehicles and put a stop to personal use of company vehicles.
At a surprisingly low cost, you can equip every vehicle owned by your company - from company cars to long-haul tractor trailers - with a GPS tracking device. This device enables fleet tracking, which will send and receive signals via satellite. You will then have access to a broad range of vehicle and driver information, as well as the ability to communicate critical information to your 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, accounting) spent on paperwork.
- Reduce billing and payroll errors.
- Ability to identify and direct drivers to the most efficient routes, thus driving less miles and reducing costs for fuel.
- More efficient routing reduces extra stops.
- More efficient routing and driving reduces idling times.
- Ability to redirect the closest vehicle with fleet tracking for urgent needs.
- Tracking eliminates unauthorized use of company vehicles.
- Eradication of employee fraud.
- Enhance good driving habits for safety and fuel economy.
- Help police locate and recover stolen vehicles with fleet tracking.
- Protect drivers and your company from false customer claims and dangerous driving accusations.
- Faster and less costly delivery of services, products, materials, etc.
- Ability to document key performance metrics for employee recognition or retraining.
- Lower insurance rates.
A fleet tracking system can provide managers and executives up-to-the-minute customized or standardized data on individual vehicles, individual drivers or on the entire fleet. You will be able to track the location of every vehicle in a single screen view. You can review data or reports in the office, from any remote computer, and from many mobile phones and other hand-held devices. Imagine the value of putting statistical information into the hands of your sales force when they are working with a customer or a potential customer to answer questions, estimate costs and schedules, or to contact individual drivers with important information.
A recent study by the Aberdeen Group documented a 23% increase in total number of service calls completed per day per technician in organizations with small fleets when GPS fleet tracking was installed in their vehicles. What would a 23% increase in profitability mean for your company if achieved across your entire fleet?
What would you save in overtime pay if all of your technicians were able to achieve a 23% productivity increase and reduce 23% of overtime pay with fleet tracking? When technicians are more efficient and productive, not only do they finish their work faster, they also enable supervisors, managers and others to eliminate overtime, as well.
Now you can add to improved productivity and savings on overtime pay a significant reduction in your fuel bill with fleet tracking. The ability to eliminate speeding (especially at speeds over 60 mph), to direct drivers to the most fuel efficient route to their destinations, to reduce or eliminate the need to have the vehicle idling, and the ability to eliminate use of vehicles for personal business will reduce your fuel bill. Some companies report savings in the six figures per year!
Finally, encouraging safer and more efficient driving, using maintenance alerts and schedule monitoring, your vehicles will be serviced on schedule and will run better, while also reducing the need to have repairs made while on the road. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that just by keeping the engines optimally tuned, you can increase fuel efficiency by almost 5%. Fixing mechanical problems immediately can even improve mpg by another forty percent.
Consideration of all the ways GPS fleet tracking can help you achieve operating cost reductions and improve productivity makes it easy to see how fleet tracking takes the guesswork out of business management. Is it time to make fleet tracking part of your management team?
