Monitoring your vehicles with real-time fleet tracking streamlines operations and can come in handy in a number of scenarios. Make sure that you are prepared in a driver emergency or instantly locate a vehicle being stolen. Dispatch efficiently and effectively as well as improve customer service by providing accurate estimated time of arrivals. With an advanced fleet tracking solution, access the most current information to deal with whatever comes your way.
Fleet Tracking Benefits:
In Case of Driver Emergency
Ensure fleet safety by instantly locating a driver in an emergency situation. Maybe their vehicle is broken down, or worse they could be in danger. The driver can send a message through their Garmin device or text message, or even use a panic button if they are in need of assistance. Dispatch will know their exact location and can send help right away.
Prevent Vehicle Theft
An unfortunate truth is that vehicles are sometimes stolen. The good news is that GPS tracking can recover a stolen vehicle with the help of real-time locations.
Be alerted if a vehicle is moving during off hours or outside of geofenced or landmark areas. Contact the authorities with the current location of the stolen vehicle to recover your property before it is too late.
Dispatch Efficiently
Say there is a power outage and you need to locate which driver is closest to the job site. You won’t have to pick up the phone to find out where a vehicle is or what his/her next job may be. Dispatch already knows this information. Send the new stop straight into a driver’s route using a Garmin device or send directions to the stop through text message. Dispatch the nearest vehicle to a job and prevent dispatching multiple drivers to one location.
Estimate the True Time of Arrival
Give your customers an accurate time when a technician will arrive by looking at the driver’s current location.
Access current weather or traffic conditions through advanced mapping, because distance is never the only factor. Give your business the reputation for always being on time by providing a solid estimated time of arrival.
Access to real-time location information improves overall fleet safety and efficiency, prevents lost property and also improves customer service. There is no way to predict what will happen in the course of a day, so use the best solution to deal with the unexpected. For more information on fleet tracking in real-time, contact us today.
