Will my company benefit from a GPS tracking system? 

    

    There are many benefits to a GPS tracking system. Running a GPS system, for example, can help many companies manage their fleet tracking and vehicle tracking needs. However, many companies remain unsure about adopting this kind of technology believing that it will only benefit businesses with large fleets. The truth is that any company - large or small - may be able to benefit from a GPS tracking system. Let’s take a look at some of the advantages:

1.Fleet tracking: 

         A GPS tracking system makes it far easier to track the vehicles that are working for a business, especially if the GPS system adopted uses real-time tracking. Real-time tracking allows a business to pinpoint exactly where a vehicle is at any given time. So, it is easy to spot delays and to manage delivery allocation. A taxi firm, for example, will be able to efficiently allocate jobs at all times with a GPS tracking system as it is easy to work out where each driver is at any given time.

2.Operational management: 

         Tracking vehicles simply makes it easier to manage the way that company vehicles operate. It doesn’t matter if a company runs two trucks or two hundred - a GPS system allows the business to assess and evaluate how deliveries work which makes it far easier to plan schedules and to allocate vehicles and drivers. Timely delivery will increase customer satisfaction and you could also see a decrease in operational costs due to increased efficiency. The chances are you will also be able to better manage your fuel usage and associated costs.

3.Personnel management: 

          Having GPS devices in fleet vehicles gives a business far more control over employees when they are on the road - whether they are drivers or sales people. GPS tracking systems will make sure that employees do what they are supposed to and get where they are supposed to be by the most direct route. This makes it hard to make excuses of being held up in traffic as the system will show exactly where they are at any given time. It is also possible to run GPS tracking systems that monitor driver activity such as door opening and closing and ignition movement. This kind of system will also prevent employees from taking on moonlighting jobs or using company vehicles outside working hours.

4.Security benefits: 

         Running a GPS tracking system also gives the assets of your business - both in terms of vehicles and personnel - added security benefits. If a truck is stolen, for example, the system will show where the theft happened and where the vehicle is. Employees carrying portable GPS devices such as GPS enabled cell phones on site visits will also have added security as their movements can be tracked. This technology is also useful in the event of an accident as it could mean getting emergency services to the site of the accident in the quickest possible time. Many businesses also see a decrease in insurance costs with a GPS tracking system in place due to the additional security benefits it will bring.

      All kinds of businesses are successfully using GPS tracking systems nowadays. There are obvious advantages to larger companies with fleet tracking but even the smallest company might benefit from vehicle tracking or personnel tracking and could look at using alternative GPS devices such as GPS-enabled cell phones.

GPS Based Vehicle Tracking for Cab Owners:

          

         

           Vehicle tracking systems are quickly being integrated into companies with delivery trucks or service vehicles. But now taxi companies are starting to use the tracking systems as well. Taxis equipped with vehicle tracking systems will allow them to better service their customers.

             

          When someone calls a cab company to have them send a taxi, the companies with the best customer service will dispatch a car promptly. But how do they do this? Taxi companies are normally located in very large cities and they could have taxis spread all across the town, some being an hour or two away. Are they supposed to just call up all the taxi drivers individually to find one that is in the right area?

             

          Tranzlogix GPS- Vehicle tracking system would allow the cab company to view all of the company's taxis on a map. This would allow them to notify the closest driver.

         Using this same map, the operator at the cab company will be able to properly estimate the amount of time that it will take for the car to arrive. It is very frustrating to be told that the car will be there ‘shortly’. Just how quickly is ‘shortly’? Some people’s definition of shortly could be 5 minutes or sometime less than half an hour. What if all of the cars are all the way across town? It could take an hour for one of the vehicles to reach the waiting person. This person should know how far away the taxi is.

        People hate waiting and it will make them more content if they know how long they should expect to have to wait. The only thing worse than being told that the car will be there ‘shortly’ is being told that the cab will be there in 10 minutes and it doesn’t arrive for 25. Taxi companies will have much better customer service ratings if they can give their customers an accurate estimation of the wait time.

       Customers will be much happier if the cab they call for arrives quickly and in the time that the operator estimates. Taxi drivers have a difficult job trying to get busy people across big cities in lots of traffic. They need the help of current vehicle tracking systems in order to do their job well. After all, their tip money depends on how quickly they service their customers and how long the customer is forced to wait for the taxi is a big factor in that.

Win Over “LOTS” of Customers – Listen, Observe, Think, Speak

       How would you describe your approach to customer service? One company mentioned in a recent SmartVan.com article uses the acronym “LOTS” to ensure their customers are happy. What does “LOTS” stand for? Listen, observe, think and speak. Check out how you can use this approach to improve your overall service levels and increase sales:

1.Listen: 

         Your customers want to be heard. When you listen to your customers, it shows that you care about their thoughts and opinions

2.Observe: 

           As soon as you enter the customer site, it’s important to observe the situation. Is the customer greeting you with a smile or can you sense a hint of irritation? Observing the customer’s mood can help you determine the best way to handle the situation.

3.Think:

          First impressions are everything.  You might be the first person to interact with the customer face to face, which is why it’s important to choose your words carefully.

4.Speak: 

      Customers expect you to be the expert. Make sure to answer their questions thoroughly and keep them informed throughout the appointment. Be focused and informative. This shows your customers that they can rely on you to get the job done right. 

        You can also provide your customers with accurate ETAs, so they never have to be kept waiting around. And if you receive customer complaints about your employees arriving late to appointments, you can log in to the solution and see exactly where your employees were all day. If you find that those employees really were late, you can pull up the proof and hold them accountable for their behaviour.

           Many service businesses are also finding that GPS fleet tracking technology helps to improve customer service. With a fleet tracking solution, you can provide your field employees with the shortest routes to any location, so they can get to job sites quicker.

This is Not to Threaten Anyone, Just To Create an Awareness

          This is an incident that happened in Maharashtra   (India).This news was published in the tamil news paper Dinakaran dated 08/01/2014.

           Two truck drivers from Tamilnadu (India) was kidnaped along with their truck loaded with raw Cotton worth Rs.25 lakhs  in Maharashtra on 20/12/2013. Later one of the two was released . Still the other one and the truck was in the control of the kidnapers. The worst case is that "the police have no clue about their location".

Things that happened:

1. The drivers were helpless when the kidnapers blocked them.

2. The incident was intimated to the truck owner by one of the driver who got released after a long time.

3. Police were informed about the incident by the truck owner at once he got the news, but the worst thing is that even he got the news too late.

4. Moreover the poor thing is that the police have no clue about the current location of the truck.

Things that would have happened if they had a vehicle tracking system installed:

1. Driver would have given an alert to the owner with the help of one click SOS alarm system.

2. The owner would have reacted immediately by reporting to the police.

3. By using the GPS tracking system they would have easily tracked the truck.

4. With the help of the local police the truck would have recovered within an hour. 

So its better to be cautious and to have a vehicle tracking system installed in your vehicles to protect your vehicles and your driver.

The benefits that you get from the vehicle tracking system is tremendous but the amount that you are going to spend for this is very less which equals to your single time fuel bill.
