With huge pressures on fleet managers to ensure safety and compliance while also simultaneously cutting costs, streamlining processes and reducing environmental impact, technology is playing an ever more important role in helping companies stay ahead of the game.
One such technology that has the power to improve fleet operations and unlock better ways of doing things is GPS fleet tracking.
GPS tracking allows you to view real time vehicle location information and track the journeys of all your vehicles, helping you see where your drivers are at all times. As well as live tracking through the CheckAVehicle app, you can also view all past journeys from the backend, providing useful information to help you make better decisions and improve the efficiency of your fleet.
Benefits of GPS Fleet Tracking
Do you want to reduce the costs of running your vehicles while also boosting productivity? GPS tracking helps you keep an eye on your entire fleet, unlocking useful information that can help you improve efficiency and find better ways of doing things.
Higher Productivity and Reduced Fuel Costs
Being able to see where your vehicles are means you can make smarter decisions and maximise fleet utilisation. For example, a delivery company can instantly identify which driver is nearest to a pick-up location, saving time and cutting down on fuel costs.
With GPS fleet tracking, fleet managers can quickly work out the best and most efficient routes, improving productivity and cutting down on unnecessary fuel expenses.
Reduce Fleet Maintenance Costs
As well as helping you save fuel, GPS tracking can also reduce fleet maintenance costs by providing useful data that can help you better plan maintenance and servicing schedules.
By using an app like CheckAVehicle, you can also be alerted to when maintenance is due, ensuring you can easily stay on top of servicing schedules and cut out any unnecessary inspections, helping you save money and extend the life of your vehicles.
Improve Driving Efficiency
It’s well known that driving style has a huge impact on the fuel efficiency of your vehicles. For example, bad driving habits like rapid acceleration, speeding and hard braking can seriously hamper fuel economy, resulting in a lot of wasted fuel.
GPS fleet tracking data can be used to improve driver efficiency and compliance. By tracking driver behaviour, you can improve driving standards and educate your drivers in adopting more efficient driving styles.
Better Customer Service
One of the key benefits of GPS fleet tracking is that it can lead to more customer satisfaction. For example, better route planning and vehicle utilisation can help reduce delivery times, meaning customers receive their order sooner.
What’s more, the delivery company we mentioned earlier may be able to use GPS data to provide its customers with real-time delivery notifications via a separate system, helping them see where their parcel is.
