Posted on the 21 November 2012 by Fleetmatics @fleetmatics

Happy Thanksgiving! Before you stuff yourself with a healthy helping of turkey, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, let’s stop and think about what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving. You, being a genius SMB owner or fleet manager, have GPS tracking on your fleet vehicles. Besides being thankful that you have already saved money this year by reducing idling and improving routing, here four more business-related reasons you should be grateful this Thanksgiving.

  1. A Leg Up on Your Competition
    You always know where your technicians are, unlike What’s His Name’s Plumbing on the other side of town. You’ve heard that he has trouble getting his guys to answer the phone. Ha! You remember those days.
     
  2. Proof of Employee Claims
    Be thankful that you can back up your drivers. They say that the customer is always right, but you know the truth… Fleetmatics’ reporting is always right.
     
  3. Extra Jobs You Picked Up This Year
    Many companies in the US have fallen on tough times, but thanks to GPS tracking, you are able to shorten response times by deploying the nearest vehicle to any location. You are able to pick up extra jobs in a day and increase your profits.
     
  4. You Have the Best Customer Service in Town
    Fleetmatics helps you respond to customers’ needs faster and with greater accuracy. When a customer calls to see where your driver is, you can immediately tell them the exact location. You are able to provide accurate arrival estimates and that gives your customers something to be thankful for… you!

What else are you thankful for this year? Well, besides your family, friends, fleet and the feast that awaits!
