Things to Consider Before GPS Tracking:

by | | GPS Basics, Why GPS?

Have you ever wondered what your employees are up to when driving on the clock (or after hours) in your company’s vehicles or you simply want to stay informed about other issues, incident or status reports on your fleet, look no further than a GPS hardware and software package. Sophisticated, yet cost-effective GPS fleet tracking services have come a long way in recent years. Today, most providers including G-Trac Fleet Tracking Services, not only offer GPS and cameras, but other integrations designed to comply with federal laws such as electronic logging devices (ELD) for driving hours, driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIR) and international fuel tax agreements (IFTA).

GPS fleet tracking can offer valuable data about the functionality, location, safety and efficiency of each driver or vehicle in a fleet. Below you will find a list to consider when thinking about buying into a GPS Tracking System such as G-Trac Fleet Services:

What GPS features are needed immediately? What features, such as cameras, can be added later?

What is your monthly budget for this GPS tracking system? A GPS tracking system can report on idling time and speeding among other data – being conscious of both can increase driver awareness, help encourage smarter driving and thus reduce fuel costs. Costs for the device can often be offset by the fuel savings.

How many vehicles do you want to track? You can start small and then add more later.

Is vehicle or equipment theft a concern? GPS can be a great solution.

Do you need to streamline or automate the process of driving log hours and service call reporting?

What are the main issues you are trying to resolve with GPS fleet tracking?

What vehicle and driver information is important to you – what data speaks to you?

Are you curious about fuel costs in relation to vehicle activity?

Are you looking to improve customer service quality through employee transparency and accountability?
