GPS Tracking for Efficient Fleet Management
2
For a long time, GPS systems were exclusively
used for military purposes. Thankfully this has
changed and GPS technology has now become
accessible to civilians. The demand for an
efficient fleet tracking system cannot be
undermined. Transportation has become a crucial
requirement seeing that there has been a
tremendous growth in other industries that
require transportation systems. Indeed,
transportation is not looked at barely as a means
for fetching and delivering goods, but also for
increasing the efficiency and credibility of an
industry.

In the past, a majority of freight companies
depended on road maps and mobile phone
communication to ensure the safety of their
freight vehicles. Over time, this proved to be
insufficient since maps become outdated and
drivers, no matter their years of experience,
will sometimes tend to lose track of the road
network.

Imagine a situation where a freight company
operates a fleet of 30 plus vehicles. Even if one
truck load of goods delays for delivery or goes
missing the credibility of the said company can
be greatly jeopardized. Vehicle tracking is
therefore extremely crucial since it ensures that
youre able to keep an eye on all the vehicles
and monitor them from one central location.

The most efficient device used in fleet tracking
is the Global Positioning System of GPS. The GPS
is a visual management technology system. It uses
satellites to relay information on the position
of the vehicle and will also give details of the
driver. The software is defined by a powerful
microchip which is embedded into the GPS gadget.
This is capable of millisecond calculations and
will give you information about the position of
your vehicles up to milliseconds.

Fleet management using GPS technology does not
only help in keeping track of the vehicles. It
will also guide you on the routes for the
different vehicles. When youre sure about the
routes, you have are better capable of delivering
in time. Modern high-tech fleet tracking systems
can broadly categorized as hybrid, passive and
active Fleet Management Systems.

The GPS software makes real time fleet tracking
of vehicles a possibility. This therefore
provides real time protection of your vehicles as
you will know the exact spot where they are at
every single time.The GPs software also has all
the generic mapping features like Full Extent,
Pan, Zoon Out and Zoom In. With the GPS based
Fleet Management Systems, you will also have live
information and you can conveniently store this
data for future reference.

You will be able to generate MIS reports for
speed analysis and location tracking using the
GPS fleet management system.The benefits of
using a fleet tracking system for your freight
business or otherwise are multiple. And the
operation and maintenance of GPS tracking in
fleet management has greatly reduced due to the
increase in the companies that are offering GPS
gadgets.
