Why Construction Companies Use GPS Fleet Tracking Systems

We will be exhibiting at the World of Concrete Show in Las Vegas this week, Jan 21-24, debuting our brand new booth while we demonstrate our award-winning GPS fleet tracking software. This has been a great show for us since the demand for this technology has boomed in this space over the last few years.

Why GPS Fleet Tracking

Construction businesses are adopting GPS fleet tracking quickly as they learn about the value that it brings to their business. GPS fleet and asset tracking software is an instrumental resource that allows control of, and insight into, all fleet-based activity. The increased efficiencies across the board within a construction business from the crews, vehicles, dispatch, maintenance, payroll, and customer service make this technology hard to ignore.

Reduce Fuel Costs

Vehicles and assets are left on and running even when they are not being used, slowly adding up a lot of wasted fuel and money. The worst part is, you probably don’t even realize it, because you don’t see it. Idle time issues can be addressed with GPS fleet tracking software in the form of exception alerts that will be sent to management and to the employee in charge of the vehicle or asset to ensure the engine is shut off.

Eliminating unauthorized usage also plays a big role in cutting fuel costs. If you can reduce the amount of miles driven on the vehicles, you will ultimately use less fuel. With a GPS fleet and asset tracking platform, you are always cognizant of when employees use company vehicles for personal use. This capability can be custom-fit to be most applicable to your business.

Extend Vehicle and Asset Life Cycles

Construction businesses find value in monitoring vehicle and asset usage. You will know what is being overworked or underutilized so that you can distribute usage effectively, keeping your valuable assets at work for longer.

You can also set up a maintenance schedule and reminders for upcoming and overdue maintenance needed. Staying on top of maintenance keeps all of your assets on the job longer and prevents costly problems in the future.

Recover Stolen Assets Faster

Unfortunately, construction sites are hot spots for theft. When vehicle or assets are stolen, GPS fleet tracking software is there to ensure that they are recovered faster, saving companies time and money on replacing expensive equipment.

Improve Billing Accuracy

Detailed reports allow construction companies to determine and defend the exact amount of time to invoice customers. This saves time and unnecessary paperwork when billing customers. When there are customer disputes, GPS fleet tracking software provides concrete evidence to prove the total amount of time on a jobsite and how many visits occurred thought the timeline of a project.

Your construction business can’t afford to go without GPS tracking technology any longer. Don’t waste any more time, take full control of your fleet today!
