The Benefits of Real Time GPS Vehicle Tracking

Almost every day I hear from someone who has had something of value stolen, either an auto, motorcycle, trailer or construction trailer. etc.

Most of the time these assets are never recovered.

Alarm devices are typically not very effective at preventing theft of valuable assets like autos, motorcycles, vehicles, trailers and the like.

This is where real time GPS vehicle and asset tracking becomes so valuable. It typically won't prevent theft - you want to take the following precautions to prevent theft of valuable assets:

To help you keep your vehicle from being stolen, follow these helpful reminders:

* Park in well-lit areas with pedestrian traffic.
* Lock your vehicle, roll up the windows and take your keys with you.
* Hide valuables in a secure location, such as the trunk, under the seat or any place out of view.
* Consider using a steering-wheel locking device to help secure your vehicle.
* Consider installing a security alarm system for your vehicle.
* Consider installing a tracking device in your vehicle to help recover it if it is stolen.
* NEVER leave your keys in an unattended vehicle.
*NEVER leave the title to your vehicle inside your vehicle.

Like I said earlier a real time GPS vehicle and asset tracking device won't prevent theft but you'll be notified almost instantly (with the GEO fence feature) and you'll be able to immediately start tracking your asset and notify the police of its specific location. Enabling the police to recover the vehicle before it has a chance to be stripped down for parts or lost forever, etc.

Here are some of the personal benefits of having a real time GPS vehicle and asset tracking device:

Many parents install these devices to assure the safety of their teen drivers.

Drivers in the 16-22 year old age group are involved in more accidents and fatalities than all other age groups combined. Even the best of kids find themselves in difficult situations, due to 3 main factors:

1. Speed
2. Inexperience
3. Peer Pressure

Teens will make their best independent decisions under supervision or while they are monitored with a tracking device. Having a real time GPS vehicle tracking device is the next best thing to having a parent in the car.

Our real time vehicle tracking systems provide a balance of constant teen supervision through online mapping and reports, while allowing the teen the freedom and privacy that they deserve. It's like being in the passenger seat next to the driver without actually being there. GPS tracking can identify bad driving habits related to speed, seat belt usage, passengers in the vehicle, and whereabouts, etc. A GPS vehicle tracking device will allow the parent to correct potential problems that put teens at risk and will help them become a safe driver by habit.

Other personal benefits are being able to locate a loved one in the event of an emergency or accident or even being able to remotely unlock their car door in the event of them locking their keys in the car.

Protect Your Elderly Loved Ones

A gps tracking system can allow you to keep an eye on your aging parents. It can help you locate them if they get lost or in the case of an emergency. A GPS locator can give you an extra layer of protection and safety for your loved ones.

A good GPS fleet tracking system provides two huge advantages for your business: Employee accountability and a quick return on your investment. In a sentence, your GPS tracking system helps your company manage, locate, track and recover your valuable mobile assets.

Companies using GPS devices for fleet management can view all their vehicles on one web page, dispatch the nearest vehicle to their customer, and view (online) daily or monthly reports of mileage, speed and stops. A large majority of customers recognize a return on their GPS investment in less than 30-60 days.

Employee Accountability

Not exactly sure where your $300,000 piece of equipment is? Dealing with consistent complaints about late deliveries? Eliminate theft and gain peace of mind with GPS real time fleet tracking.

Return on Investment

Business owners aren't going to invest in a product that doesn't save or make their business money. We've done both. Brown Bros., Inc, a Chattanooga, TN based company focused on grading, excavating, and site utilities had several pieces of heavy equipment stolen over the last few years. Brown Bros. purchased several GPS fleet tracking units to monitor the locations of their heavy equipment.

The result?

"We had a brand new CAT skid steer stolen over the weekend," Project Manager Frank Geismar said. "The skid steer was equipped with a GPS fleet tracking unit. Within minutes I was able to log on to my computer and know exactly where it was located. I called the police and the sheriff's department and gave them the exact location of where they could recover the stolen equipment. They recovered the unit along with six other pieces of stolen heavy equipment valued at over $300,000. The skid steer was back on the job site by noon."

Saving money is making money, and affordable GPS Tracking saves fleet companies thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. These GPS fleet tracking units sport numerous features that make tracking vehicles and streamlining operations simple.

1. Use less fuel and stop speeding drivers
The EPA estimates that reducing speed by 10MPH increases fuel efficiency by 20%. Our HVAC customers report $150 savings per 10 vehicles in one month by keeping their drivers at a maximum of 65MPH. The owner of a towing company saved $4000 over two months just in fuel costs.

2. Limit unnecessary trips and unauthorized use
Customers tell us their employees off-route driving completely ends once they know a GPS fleet tracking unit is installed in their vehicle. No more extended lunches, driving off-route to go home to eat, run errands, etc. How valuable is that?

3. Ensure proper work hours, lunch breaks and overtime records
This is self explanatory, and another area where you can save thousands of dollars per year. Employees won't likely record bogus work, lunch or overtime hours if they know their work vehicle is being tracked. If you can gain just 30 minutes of productivity each day you will save about $3,000 per employee each year.

4. Monitor company gas purchases/gas cards
Let's face the facts--gas will only get more expensive, and some employees try to cut corners and cut money out of your bottom line. Can you afford even one employee stealing $20 in fuel every week ($1040/year) from your gas account? That's $1040 you could put in your own gas tank! This is another area where questionable purchases can be tracked and verified with our easy-to-use GPS fleet tracking software.

5. Theft prevention
Track all your vehicles every one, two or five minutes and have alerts sent to your cell phone, email or PDA whenever your vehicle is started or moves outside of a designated area (geofence). This feature gives you peace of mind 24/7/365.

I want to point out that I realize in your job you deal with the negative side of customers because we always call to complain but nobody ever calls to tell you when you do a good job. I am the biggest customer SOB that has ever lived if I get bad service, but I justify that by trying to be this considerate anytime I'm afforded the opportunity.
