Vehicle tracking overview

A brief look at the benefits of vehicle tracking by our Managing Director - Richard Monson
What are the real benefits of vehicle tracking and why should I have it to help me and my team? - I only have a few vehicles how will it benefit us? Will my guys think I am spying on them? These are questions we hear all the time.
Let’s face it in today’s tough business environment it is absolutely crucial for us to keep a close eye on our overheads. In nearly all cases staff and vehicle fleets are our most expensive cost, but do they get scrutinised financially in the same way other less costly items do? Strangely most of us will answer no to this question!! We don’t particularly like confrontation so it’s easy to just carry on doing what we normally do, examine the small costs and leave the big ones! Vehicle tracking removes any confrontation as the facts are plain and simple for all to view.
Exactly how will we all benefit? Vehicle tracking offers as standard many basic benefits and here are a few – it will :
- Assist employees in finding their way - relieving unnecessary stress
- Assist clients by providing accurate delivery times – induce total confidence in their selected supplier & make you look good
- Enable you to accurately manage weekly time sheets – no mistrust or arguments just basic accurate figures
- Help organise vehicle servicing records – reducing mileage overrun & off road time
- Route vehicles in the most efficient manner – enabling accurate planning & less damage to the environment
- Increased vehicle security – tracked vehicles can usually be located & insurance premiums may be reduced
There are numerous other proven benefits banded around but I feel these six give an idea of how it’s an all-round win, win situation for client, employee and employer alike! Let’s lose the myth “it’s a spy in the cab” and look at the real long term benefits of being in control of your most expensive asset. Never mind if you only have one or two vehicles all parties will still benefit!
We have been providing tracking systems for over 10 years and they have just got better and better and now cost as little as half a litre of fuel a day. Implementation is simple, you do not need a high level of technical ability to operate our system, basic computer skills which we all now have will allow anyone to benefit quickly.
Just call the team to find out more and start 2012 by reaping the benefits tracking technology has to offer!
