Accident prevention and equipment maintenance are essential tools in effectively mitigating employee injury and property damage. Fleet managers understand the important challenge asset tracking poses perhaps more than most, which is why fleet managers increasingly turn to a GPS fleet tracking system for asset tracking and recovery, driver insights, telematics, and more.
It's a Money-Saver
A fleet tracking device can monitor everything a vehicle does. You can track speeds, idle times, and locations in real-time. You can use this information to create more efficient routes, and provide feedback to drivers about fuel consumption. By monitoring their driving, you can also see if they drive too fast at times and prevent it from happening in the future. This will be more fuel efficient and save you money on potential repairs.
Process Automation
You can take certain tasks right out of human hands. No longer will drivers have to enter their mileage into databases or onto clipboards. It will all be stored digitally, which means no errors, no misplaced log sheets, and faster data turnaround. Your staff will appreciate not having to worry about entering log information, and you can save your own time.
Safety
Being able to track your fleet is safer for everyone. Your drivers, knowing that everything is tracked, will be more likely to drive safely at all times. Certain fleet tracking tools will also alert you if there is a maintenance need, so your fleet will also be in top condition and less likely to end up with dangerous malfunctions. On top of that, fleet tracking acts as an effective anti-theft device, since you can monitor where your vehicles are at all times and immobilize them remotely if need be.
Easy Onboarding
A fleet management device is easy to use and easy to onboard. Once it's installed, you pretty much only need to be able to log in to the remote dashboard and you will be good to go. There isn't a lot of training involved as they are designed to be as simple as possible.
