GPS tracking provides undeniable advantages for fleets.
 
Today we look at how you can reduce fleet mileage with the help of these innovative systems and, therefore, run a more cost-effective operation.
 
1 - Better route planning
 
GPS tracking offers you complete insight as to your drivers’ whereabouts at any given time. This provides the option of checking if the route a particular driver is following is the most suitable; if it is a frequent one, you will also be able to assess as to whether it can be updated to a faster/shorter option.
 
2 - Improved dispatch
 
With vehicle tracking you will always have the situation of your fleet under control, in real time: you are able, for example, to direct, or divert, your closest driver to a place whenever necessary and more accurately inform your customers as to the expected delivery time.
 
3 - Detect vehicles misuse
 
This could be another source of excessive mileage: company vehicles employed for private usage. Tracking can alert you to any unauthorized use of fleet vehicles, whether during work-time or out of hours and help to prevent theft.
 
How does reduced mileage benefit a fleet?
 
- If you reduce fleet mileage, vehicles wear and tear costs will decrease as a consequence;
- You will also prolong the lifespan of your fleet vehicles;
- Fuel costs will be reduced, as well as emissions;
- Response times will be greatly improved.
