- Antitheft Asset Protection. Antitheft GPS tracking lets law enforcement pursue stolen vehicles more efficiently & effectively. This increases the likelihood of recovering a stolen vehicle intact.
- Mobile Tracking. Mobile tracking apps let fleet managers turn their employee's smartphones into tracking devices to save money, stay in touch, and track workers independently of their vehicles; a must-have for service fleets.
- Increased Accuracy. Recent changes to GPS device algorithms have increased GPS accuracy from about 10 meters to within a centimeter!
- Reporting and Evaluation. Modern GPS tracking devices and fleet management software can record vehicle usage statistics such as driving speed, idle time, and more to generate comprehensive reports. Using this info, fleet managers can evaluate fleet performance and find ways to improve it.
With these advancements in tracking technology, it's crucial to take advantage in order to remain competitive in your industry.
