Vehicle and asset tracking offers a wide range of benefits, that extend beyond immediate cost savings that can be achieved by installing a system. Tracking is available for all types of vehicles, from individual cars to fleets and commercial vehicles.

Assets - cars, lorries, plant equipment and even people - can be equipped with a unique transponder using GPS and mobile telephone technology to provide location and management information. Authorised individuals can view and analyse data reports providing improved management information, security and safety.

Some key reasons for adopting a sophisticated vehicle tracking system include:

Reduced Operating Costs
  • Reduce unnecessary and unaccountable mileage
  • Plan routes more efficiently reducing fuel bills
  • Reduced mobile costs as drivers locations are available to you on screen - instantly - and more important - accurately. (How often have you suspected a driver of giving a false location to avoid an extra job? Can you be certain they are where they say they are?)
  • Reports can show any unnecessary engine idling, again affecting fuel consumption.
Increased Management Control - This isn't designed to act like big brother - but you have got a business to run & a fleet to manage, you own it to yourself (& management/shareholders) to have all the information possible, available to you to do that to the best of your ability.
 
  • Increased performance of fleet & individual drivers; due to reports on journey times, speed & accurate mileage.
  • Reports on unauthorised use of vehicles including private mileage
  • Monitor unauthorised stops
  • Verify time sheets
  • Real time visibility of vehicle / driver location & status
  • Improve vehicle & load security
  • Exceptional & customised reporting, you set the parameters, you're in control.

Workforce Efficiency - Optimise Fleet Management

 
  • Increase productivity, know the whereabouts of vehicles 24/7
  • Increase jobs per day
  • Cut down on empty trips
  • Assign the most appropriate vehicle - instantly
  • Review management reports on productive & non-productive time.
Improved Customer Service
 
  • Reliable delivery forecast & arrival times, with live vehicle location updates
  • Allocate incoming / urgent jobs, to the nearest available vehicle, immediately
  • Reports / delivery confirmation to support timed deliveries & job sign offs
  • Prove of delivery, vehicle location confirmation in event of "claims"
  • Reports integrated to back office, to ensure swift invoice generation

Duty of Care

 
  • Fulfil organisational "duty of care" to workforce
  • Immediate driver assistance available
  • Control servicing & fleet management via reference to "live" information
