Officials in one town in New York state forecast that they will save $130,000 per year if their plans to monitor driving habits and vehicle usage get approved as they hope.

By installing GPS tracking units in vehicles and boats, town officials were able to pinpoint unproductive transportation routes. And no, the phrase “unproductive transportation routes” does not refer to employees goofing off or going to unauthorized places using taxpayer dollars. It refers to employees simply being unaware of more efficient routes they could have taken to get the job done. With GPS tracking, managers were made aware and they were able to re-direct employees to routes that saved time, gas and money.

GPS tracking really can help your organization to improve response time and customer service. Since you will know where your vehicles at all times on a real time map, your dispatchers can easily send the nearest vehicle when a new job arises. They will not have to call around and try to figure out who is where or have to calculate who will be able to get to a site fastest. This saves both money and time.

It is true that we have just recently seen a little relief in gas prices, but don’t be fooled. Prices are still quite high and gas will still take an unexpected bite out of your budget if you don’t enact measure to taper fuel costs.

Although it may seem like everything is computerized these days, this really isn’t the case. In fact, we know that when it comes to technology, some of you are slow adopters. You wait until the very last second to jump on the various high tech bandwagons that come rolling through.

If you are still hesitant to use fleet tracking, you really cannot afford to let this particular bandwagon pass by. Businesses that use multiple vehicles can save time and money by tracking their transportation use. With rising gas costs, this is an important investment. You will be pleasantly surprised to find just how quickly a vehicle tracking system will pay for itself. Once that is done, the money saved goes towards the bottom line.

Fleet tracking can let you know what vehicles are where, and when they are there. If someone goes out of bounds, you’ll know. It will give reports on idling and speeding–two practices that are chipping away at your profits. You cannot alter money-losing practices if you don’t know about them. Fleet tracking can help you plug money leaks such as these.

Even if your employees are very safe drivers, they may not be taking the most efficient routes to reach their destinations. Fleet tracking can help you get an idea of why it takes too much time for some trips. It can also explain why some employees seem to get things done a lot faster. There is a lot that you may not know about how work is getting done.
