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.
Here are just a few of the outcomes you can achieve with fleet tracking:
- Decrease paperwork.
- Reduce billing and payroll errors.
- More efficient routes and speeds resulting in lower mileage and lower fuel expense.
- Eliminate extra stops.
- Reduce idle times.
- Ability to redirect the closest vehicle with fleet tracking for urgent needs.
- Tracking eliminates unauthorized use of company vehicles.
- Wipe out fraudulent reporting and charges by employees.
- Enhance good driving habits for safety and fuel economy.
- Protect your drivers from accusations of unsafe driving or false claims by customers.
- Protect drivers and your company from false customer claims and dangerous driving accusations.
- Improve product and service delivery.
- Ability to define key performance indicators for drivers and use them for employee recognition and reward.
- Possible reduction in vehicle insurance costs.
The reports generated by the fleet tracking system and those you customize for your own monitoring and reporting needs will enable your managers to compile safety data, expedite payroll and billing information to accounting and HR, track driver history, and create the most efficient and economical routing for all business needs. You will be able to utilize the data from any computer or compatible hand-held device anywhere. Your sales team can generate reports for pricing and scheduling options when closing a sale. Dispatchers can instantly assist drivers with problems.
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!
Effective management of service and maintenance schedules for vehicles with a fleet tracking system can also save as much as 4% in fuel efficiency by keeping the engine tuned optimally. Regular service can prevent many problems that would otherwise cause a big engine problem. The ability to anticipate and repair these problems can improve fuel mileage by 35% or more. Proper tire inflation can add to the savings achieved through fuel economy.
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?
