Keeping Track. Keeping Safe.

GPS Tracking Systems

Managing a fleet of vehicles is not child's play. Without knowing the accurate location of each and every

vehicle in the fleet, you will have to resort to a lot of guesswork. And, this is certainly not a good thing as you have deadlines to meet and promises to keep. Do you want to reduce operational costs and improve the

 productivity of your transportation business? A GPS tracking system is what you need to get the ball rolling.

Expert Auto Accents will install GPS tracking systems to fit your business needs. There are some important benefits of GPS tracking for businesses. This technology is not just dots on a map: it’s fleet location intelligence. Advanced GPS tracking platforms will not only help with cutting costs and reducing risk, but it will also drive revenue for your business, starting with boosting employee productivity.

Here are some important benefits of GPS tracking systems:

Increasing Employee Productivity

Unfortunately, unauthorized use of company vehicles is more common than most would like to admit. GPS tracking helps management keep employees on task, working for you, and not themselves or someone else’s business. You can use powerful alerting and reporting functionality to know when an employee is doing side jobs or personal errands throughout the work day. This will ultimately keep your employees productive for your business each day.

Maximize the Work Day

With GPS tracking, you have the ability to dispatch more effectively, getting your team to customers faster. You can also send and receive messages to your employees in the field through the online portal. This will make communication much easier because your team won’t have to constantly pick up the phone as things change throughout the day. Utilizing alerts that notify you and your team of long stops and late arrivals will help to make sure you stay on schedule throughout the day. Adding just one more job a day to each technician or driver’s schedule could increase revenue by around $33,000 extra per month. Surely, you could put that kind of money to good use if you had it. Increase productivity by 1 stop per day at an average of $100 per job, with a fleet of 15 trucks, is equal to $33,000/month.

Maintain Fleet Health

Keeping your vehicles on the road is an expensive part of fleet management that needs a close eye. GPS tracking for businesses will keep vehicle downtime to a minimum and help to prevent costly maintenance, which will keep your drivers working, leading to more revenue for your business.

Expand Customer Service with GPS Tracking

Serve More Customers

GPS tracking gives your business the opportunity to serve more customers on a daily basis with more effective dispatch, as well as monitor and coach employees about expectations for time spent at each job. The more customers you can serve, the more money your business will make.

Manage Time Spent with Higher Revenue Customers

GPS tracking can also be used to manage outside sales teams. Management can create territory maps within the software to monitor how long they are spending with customers. This way you can coach them on how to allocate their time between higher revenue generating vs. lower revenue generating customers.

Improve Estimated Time of Arrivals

GPS tracking software will give your company the chance to be proactive instead of reactive. When drivers are running late, your team will know and can call the customer to notify them. When a driver or technician is within a mile of the customer location, an automated text message or email can be sent to them, letting them know you are on the way. Accurate ETAs and improved customer service will make your customers happier, and happier customers lead to loyal customers that will refer you to their friends, and that equals more revenue for your business.

Keeping Your Drivers Safe

Companies with large fleets of vehicles, from large semi-trucks to smaller vans, are always looking for ways to make their fleets safer. Auto accidents can be dangerous and expensive. In fact, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the United States. Installing dashboard cameras in company vehicles can help keep employees safe and decrease insurance claims costs.

Dashboard cameras can be very beneficial for companies. One reason many organizations use dash cams is to provide an objective record of what happened during an accident. Having a dash cam often eliminates the “he said-she said” aspect of many accidents. The camera can clearly show important facts like who had the right-of-way. This can go a long way in defending a driver and can reduce fraudulent claims of injuries or accident set-ups. Dash cams are also useful for fleet managers to monitor drivers and identify those who may need extra training or discipline. A periodic review of footage from vehicle cameras can help managers improve their drivers’ safety behind the wheel.
