A 2005 study indicates that the
average employee wastes 2.09 hours per day of their employer’s
time. If you own a delivery company, service company or limo
service, you don’t have to speculate about employee down
time if you install a non-intrusive GPS vehicle tracking system
into your vehicles. |

GPS tracking systems are electronic devices
installed in vehicles to enable owners to track a vehicle’s
location. By using GPS modules, you can easily and accurately
target vehicle locations. Specifically, these systems combine
a communications component, such as cellular or satellite transmitters,
to communicate the vehicle’s location to a remote user.
This information and/or location can then be viewed on electronic
maps via the Internet or specialized software. |

Corporations with large fleets of vehicles
require a vehicle tracking system to determine where each vehicle
is at any given time. Along with employee time accountability,
vehicle tracking systems are often used for functions like routing,
dispatch, onboard information and security. Other applications
include monitoring driving behavior and managing mobile workforce
overtime with scheduled updates as frequently as once per minute. |

Keep Your Drivers Honest! |

Ken Sink, owner of My Vehicle WatchDog, is
a veteran with more than 20 years of transportation experience,
including fleet management of over 800 vehicles. Regarding the
benefits of GPS trackers, he said, “I believe employees
should be trusted and treated as adults. But, if you’ve
ever driven a rental vehicle differently than the car you own,
then you understand how an employee may mistreat a company vehicle.
Take the speeding employee, for example. Employees, who drive
too fast waste your gasoline, wear out your vehicle prematurely
and sooner or later, drive up your insurance rates. A GPS vehicle
tracking system can alert you when someone exceeds your pre-set
speed limit. It’s your vehicle, your fuel and your insurance
premium; a tracking system helps you regain control of them.” |

Are your vehicles being used after hours or
on the weekends? Is an employee using your vehicle to moonlight?
Are your vehicles being used for personal errands? You’ll
know with certainty if you install a GPS vehicle tracking device
in your vehicles. |

How do you currently verify overtime claims?
Maybe you can verify the work was done, but when? With a GPS
tracking system, you can verify when the work was done by cross-checking
a vehicle’s location with the time of day it was there. |
| |
One of the primary benefits of GPS vehicle
tracking systems is that you’ll never have to make another
phone call to find out where your employees are—you can
simply look on the map displayed on your computer screen. Also,
your GPS tracking system will remind you when it's time to rotate
tires, change oil or perform other scheduled maintenance on
the vehicles in your fleet. And, many insurance companies offer
discounts of up to 30% for vehicles protected with GPS tracking
systems. |
| |
Tracking your employees in the field has never
been easier--GPS tracking is a reliable and affordable way to
drastically cut overtime costs. Once implemented, you’ll
quickly realize the value of keeping GPS vehicle tracking as
an integral part of your business operations. After all: time
is money—your money. |
