10 Reasons to Install a vehicle tracking system
- Use as an employee bonus and cost
savings program! Introduce vehicle
tracking technology as a way to keep up with the times and increase the
financial position of the company; rather than “big brother watching over
them”.
-
Resolve customer
disputes related to arrival time, service duration and service
location. Employees will appreciate this level of detailed support.
-
Know the exact location of a vehicle, at any
time, pinpointed on a map. Remote staff that are lost can be better
helped. This helps the employee stay on schedule and not have to speed or work
over time to recover lost time.
-
Vehicle tracking can help
reduce the average speed of your vehicles. This relates directly
into fuel consumption, maintenance and accidents that could save up to 20% on
your monthly fuel bill. Reduce
your insurance liability. Reduce servicing and maintenance costs.
- Verification of the accuracy of time
sheets. An AVL system
gives you the facility to compare a typical start-stop report to the time
sheets. Determine what the average margin of error is and then compare that to
the time sheets before you installed the vehicle tracking system. The benefit
can equate to savings of thousands of dollars, per employee, per year.
-
Verify existing and promote new sales calls
from your sales team. If each sales person can generate one additional sales
call in every three days that means an extra 84 sales calls per employee, per
year. How much in extra sales, new business and profits will this mean to your
business every year? Add to this the savings from not paying for mileage or
fuel for unproductive or personal driving on company times and your business
is even further ahead.
- Actively monitor the time per stop
or call. A good service manager will know exactly how long a quality
service call or delivery will take. By watching the reported time they can
determine whether the employee is spending too much "unproductive time", or
too little "valuable" time with customers and clients. This results in fewer
customer cancellations, allowances, returned goods and an increase in sales.
Efficiency is the key here.
-
Utilizing the latest vehicle tracking
technology as a competitive advantage. Telling customers that you will
be there between 8am - 5pm is becoming less acceptable in the market place.
Customers want more accurate and better informed call times. When all else is
equal between customers, use of vehicle tracking technology will be a distinct
sales advantage.
-
Get insurance discounts! Contact your
insurance provider and request a discount when you can show them your vehicles
are now driving slower, driving fewer miles and you are reducing the risk of
accidents. If the insurance company will not
give you a reduction, shop around. There are insurance companies that will
offer a discount, once you can show an improvement. Sometimes up to 10%!
-
Use of the reporting system
can help eliminate moonlighting, driving after hours and unwanted stops during
the workday. This will save you money on wages, fuel, maintenance, limit your
liability and provide for better customer service. Your driving policy must be
a written policy to reduce you liability in case of legal action.
