Merits Of A Vehicle Tracking Solutions Software

By Joyce Wallace


Fleet management has evolved over the years making work easier for managers. Systems have been developed to collect and send information in real time for retrieval at a later time. There are a lot of benefits derived from these management systems. Fleet companies are no longer relying on the manual management practices because of the benefits brought by the new systems. Below are the benefits of a vehicle tracking solutions system.

The first advantage of this system is that it reduces the total cost of transportation. A lot of time and fuel is consumed when drivers use routes with traffic. The tracker can help the driver, or the dispatchers know what road is best to use with regards to traffic and the shortest way to the destination. It takes a shorter time to deliver goods, thus the use of small amounts of fuel. Because the software gives a report, inconsistency is reduced and even the use of time is maximized during transportation.

Also, there is a reduction in insurance cost. When the risk is low, insurance companies offer rebates or discounts to customers. When cars have a tracking system, it is easy to avoid and reduce accidents because of the various notifications to drivers and dispatchers. Installation of safety features attracts discounts in the premiums to be paid. Again, since the company experiences few perils, the cost of purchasing coverage is reduced significantly.

Similarly, when there is better administration, employees become better time managers. The mechanics, drivers and the managers get notifications and time estimates for departure and arrival time. Dispatchers and drivers can manage their schedules better. Because they can avoid traffic, the time that could have been spent on the traffic jam goes to other activities. In addition, due to the use of other shorter routes, much time is saved for other productive things.

Employees will often become productive when they are happy and motivated. If drivers use trucks that are highly maintained, their safety on the road is enhanced which makes them happy. The fact that drivers are notified when the cars need maintenance means they face few challenges on the way and much of the manual labor is reduced. The firm can retain employees for a long time because they are highly satisfied.

Improved customer services are also an advantage. In most cases, customers do not get updates on where their products have reached during transportation. Because of a lot of idle time and traffic, one cannot know when the assets will arrive. This is bad for business since clients lose trust in the firm. But when they know of arrival times and receive regular notifications, they gain more confidence in the company hence sticking to these providers.

The transportation lifecycle from the dispatch of products, departure and arrival time can be estimated, hence an improvement in the running of the organization. The administrators also know the routes that will be taken, the time for arrival and the refueling stations. It, therefore, becomes easy to run the transportation process.

In conclusion, there is better utilization of cars because of the information provided by the system. The fact that one can avoid traffic, use the shortest and better routes, and manage fuel well leads to better use of vehicles. Staff fraud is also reduced which ensures that cars or trucks are used only for the intended purposes.
