Homebuilders Use GPS Devices

Posted on Monday 28 April 2008

A Dallas corporation that builds houses recently found out just how smart they were to hide GPS tracking devices in some of their equipment. The thieves who stole air-conditioning units from one of the corporation’s housing development also found out just how smart the company was too, but as you can imagine, they are not quite so appreciative.

The stolen air conditioners each have an estimated value of $2,000 and the thieves stole two of these large air-conditioning units. Some of you who run small businesses may imagine that a large corporation would not be concerned about losing that amount of money, but that simply is not the case. Lost money is lost money. In the same way any net gains, no matter how small add to your overall profit. Large businesses get that way by minimizing losses and using GPS tracking devices is one way to ensure that security of your assets and keep money in your coffers.

Corporation employees were able to track the stolen equipment thanks to the GPS tracking devices they had employed for that very reason. So when they contacted the police they were able to collaborate with them and retrieve the stolen equipment.

Not only are you affected as a business owner, you are affected as a consumer. Theft raises insurance rates. It also gets passed on to consumers as the cost of doing business rises.

We know you don’t want to have your property stolen (and we certainly don’t want that to happen either), but in the event that it does, a GPS equipment tracking system from RM Tracking can be the deciding factor in whether or not you catch a thief.
