It is not always understood or appreciated just how versatile GPS vehicle tracking can be. First adopted by large fleet operating companies and service organisations to radically improve fleet management, driver communications, running costs and fuel efficiency, a mobile workforce tracking system can be found in use across many different types of organisations.
As a mobile worker solution, technologies can be customised and integrated, from GPS and two way wireless communications, to realtime data reporting. Businesses of all sizes, from SMEs - with a small on the road workforce - to larger scale enterprises, all substantially benefit from reduced operational, fuel and emission costs. The strategic real-time data that can be received enables crucial decision making on time critical schedules, and when managing daily resources.
As the UK slowly recovers from recession, yet faces the effects of severe cut backs, the vital need to increase the productivity of employees, and stay ahead of competitors, will become an all-consuming preoccupation, whatever the size and operating market of a business.
Three key areas where a vehicle tracking device can be a vital resource tool :
Transportation and Distribution : Fleet GPS tracking enables managers to be in contact with latest location and travel data in real time, and can enhance employee productivity, i.e. driver behaviour, speed and direction monitoring. Distribution firms are helped by route optimisation, service alerts, driver monitoring, effective navigation, and efficient dispatch process etc.
Construction : Contractors can complete their projects on-time and within budget. Efficient vehicle tracking, exact location of vehicles and assets, pin pointing of tools and equipments at various sites, and responding to emergencies in unexpected situations. Other key areas of data capture by engine diagnostic/telemetry tools provide alerts on engine performance, coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc, which helps to avoid engine breakdown at work sites and costly repairs.
Service Organisations: Once again, provision of real time routing and engine diagnostic/telemetry tools, which help personnel reach their destination quickly when problem arises. Routing tools can help plan an optimised route, reducing fuel consumption and time, and increases driver productivity. A web-based mapping feature can also provide information on worksites, technician names, two-way messaging, etc.
