The benefits of using an effective and reliable GPS tracking system for your fleet management are unparalleled. In addition to helping you increase productivity through improved efficiency, a GPS fleet management system also can help your organization strengthen the visibility and traceability of vehicles and other valuable assets. It also can help you identify any inefficiencies or risks and quickly address them before they become major issues.
How exactly does this all work? And, will I be able to use the system without wanting to pull my hair out?
The Technology Behind the GPS Tracking Solution
Through the integration of GPS technology, telematics, and agile software, an efficient fleet management system will provide you with a detailed look into:
- How your vehicles are performing;
- How your drivers are behaving and handling your equipment in the field; and
- How efficiently both your machine and human assets are operating every day.
Although it may seem like using such a powerful system should be a complicated process, it’s all actually quite the opposite.
Track More Than Just Locations
The process begins by installing a GPS tracking device in every vehicle in your fleet that you wish to monitor. This unit allows you to track the vehicle's location as well as monitor many other aspects of its overall performance, including:
- Fuel usage
- Engine activity and idle times
- Vehicle mileage
- Maintenance scheduling
- Fluid levels
- Cargo temperature
Furthermore, this agile system allows you to monitor the behavior and efficiency of your drivers. The types of driver-related data you can keep an eye on with fleet management software and tracking devices include:
- Hard braking
- Turning speeds and motions
- Rapid acceleration and deceleration
- Travel speeds
- RPMs
Through the use of a secure wireless network, all the units will send the data on the vehicle performance to Rastrac. This will allow us to make improvements to our systems to better meet your needs as one of our valued clients.
