How vehicle tracking can save you money and heartache

Businesses of all sizes are losing money every month unnecessarily, and what’s more, they are leaving themselves wide open to unnecessary tax bills at the same time.

From fuel costs to reduced insurance costs to being able to prove who has used a company vehicle and for what purpose – all have a dramatic impact on the bottom line of any company.

Because of this, businesses today are looking for increasingly intelligent ways of reducing costs and improving productivity. One very cost effective way of doing this is to use a vehicle tracking system. There are many different systems available and all are capable of offering different solutions to you. This means that the system you get will give you the information you need not what the system can provide. The systems are very easy to use either from a PC or a smart phone which means you are always able to access information wherever you are. A good tracking and management system enables you to identify where your business is wasting the most time and money, both on the road and in the office. It can help you to:

• Reduce your fleet fuel costs
• See proof of visit and time spent on site – essential for HMRC compliance
• Improve your scheduling and routing
• Complete more jobs each week
• Reduce administration, such as time sheets
• Keep track of scheduled maintenance
• Ensure the safety of lone workers

In order to improve your workforce efficiency you need accurate and real time data that is relevant to you and your business. You also need it in a format that is easy to understand and obtain. This means it is vital that you know what information you want to collect prior to speaking to any tracking companies. Tracking today involves cutting edge, state of the art technology which offers a wealth of information, both general and specialised. It is developing constantly and with these developments, prices are dropping making it very cost effective to implement and run.

All in all, tracking is a very good and cost effective way of cutting costs and ensuring the maximum productivity from your company vehicles.
