You need to use every advantage that you can find to run your business lean and mean these days. If not, you’ll find yourself stuck in a bind financially in a hurry. Technology is a great place to look for ways to run an efficient operation and here are five of the best reasons to implement GPS Tracking to help you run lean while maximizing profits.
Employee Safety and Responsibility
Driver safety is of the utmost importance and once you have installed GPS Tracking devices into your fleet of vehicles it will send a message to them that you care about their safety. But, with their position comes responsibility while they perform their job. They are on the streets and roads for hours at a time. The ability to ‘look over their shoulder’ with GPS Tracking helps them maintain a heightened sense of awareness to the task at hand and gives you an advantage not heretofore realized in being able to monitor their location, direction of travel and speed.
Compliance with Traffic Laws
Ever notice that when one is being followed by a police car they instantly turn into the best driver ever? That is essentially the same thing that happens when GPS Tracking devices are on-board with your fleet drivers. And, they know that adhering to traffic laws is mandatory, but unless there is a way to make sure they do, they won’t. So, GPS Tracking does this job for them. They become better drivers, you notice that there are fewer incidents with moving violations.
Monitoring routes via remote mapping helps managers discover things about the routes that might be hampering the speed at which a driver can make his or her rounds. One of the main things is traffic flow. While fleet businesses are powerless in getting traffic signals changed, it might be worth a try to see if that can happen. Making the point that is would be good for all traffic (including public transportation like buses) just might get traffic managers to lend assistance. If this is not possible, then routes can be modified to make sure that it happens.
Accounting and Insurance Advantages
Information that goes into billing customers is crucial in the delivery business. With GPS Tracking systems, reports can be generated to show the positive things that are done to help insure the best of service. Accurate billing systems in place keep your accounting costs lower as well!  Knowing your vehicles can be found if a theft occurs will give you a lower insurance rate.  Don't forget that it is not just the vehicles themselves that would be stolen, but also the valuable tools and equipment inside the vans need to be recovered!  Wouldn't you sleep better knowing that gps tracking was always "on the job?"
Provide Evidence of Activities
Has your firm ever been accused of not delivering on time? Was your truck and driver where it was supposed to be? Now you can provide that information in court-admissible form from your system. Peace of mind? Now you’re talking. Factual data speaks for you and tracking data has been proven in court many times.
To top this all off, customer service goes through the roof. When clients realize the amount of time and effort that is expended in making their satisfaction a top priority, they will stay with you for a long time to come. Consider that you will be doing a lot more than your competition. It’s a great feeling and it is made possible by your GPS Tracking device.
