GPS Real Time Tracking
Choosing a GPS real-time tracking solution is not a task
that should be approached lightly. With the right combination
of hardware, software, and web-based storage, you will gain
insight and increased control over your mobile workforce,
leading to improved efficiency and reduced operating costs.
Achieving both of these goals is relatively straightforward
with such technology, but choosing the service that's right
for your business may not be.
The first question to ask yourself is "how frequently do
I need updates?" This answer really depends on the industry.
For instance, public protection agencies benefit from real-time
tracking solutions that update as often as possible. In other
situations, up-to-the-second data is not necessary. Instead,
vehicle information gathered every two or five minutes is
likely more than sufficient.
Next, determine how quickly you need this information. GPS
tracking units are available as either passive devices that
store data for retrieval at a later time, or units that integrate
with existing cellular networks. The latter type makes it
possible to keep tabs on your vehicles at all times, while
the former provides you with history at the end of each day.
For merely verifying hours worked, a passive model would be
adequate. Conversely, improving dispatch efficiency would
require a wireless network-capable device.
Here at InSight USA, you will find both passive and long-range
wireless devices. We can also provide the storage required
to hold the data collected, and the software needed to make
sense of it all. With a wide range of products and services
available, we encourage you to complete our Information
Request form. Tell us about your requirements and
we can guide you towards the hardware, software, and service
plan suited to your needs and budget.
