When done properly, a good tracking system can help:
- Lower fuel expenses and become more efficient in delivering your product or service.
- Monitor employees’ billing time and location. Document start and stop times, as well as the number of stops by address.
- Verify gas charges and assist with maintenance of the fleet.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Buy GPS equipment
If you have only a couple of vehicles to track or you are not ready to commit to a customized commercial global positioning system (GPS), buy GPS equipment off the shelf. Look for portable GPS monitors that include preprogrammed data such as points of interest and live traffic reports.I recommend: The GPS Store sells new and remanufactured models of popular brands Garmin, Magellan and TomTom. Rent GPS units for 10-day increments from BrickHouse Security.
Get the right software
Monitoring your business vehicle activity with software gives clear data on where your business can cut costs or increase revenues on delivery and service routes.I recommend: ManagerPlus offers an asset management software called Fleet + Transportation which detects early signs of vehicle problems, and monitors fuel and oil consumption. GPS Fleet Solutions sells eight solutions scaled for different reporting needs.
Customize your system
Having your GPS tracking system custom designed ensures the right type of vehicle tracking for your business. When employed properly, a customized GPS tracking system can give your employees more information that could result in increased sales.I recommend: Navtrak combines GPS, the Internet and wireless technology. @Road specializes in "mobile resource management," which includes GPS tracking and monitoring.
