GPS tracking system has made a big improvements in fleets over the past years, offering some advanced features and benefits. Like improving driver safety to better customer service, anti-theft, reduce fuel cost, reduce maintenance cost etc..

Anti-theft

Vehicles are essential and valuable assets to any fleet business. As such, they need to be well maintained and protected from theft. With a GPS fleet tracking system installed, you can locate the stolen vehicles in no time.

Modern GPS fleet tracking systems, like GPS18, even come with advanced geofence features that give you alerts when a vehicle enters or leaves a specified area. With real-time location tracking, you can mitigate theft and reduce incidences of unauthorized use of your fleet.

Improve Driver Safety

GPS tracking systems can help to increase driver safety and compliance. Fleet managers can monitor drivers' behavior in real-time and give a warning or recommend certain actions. They are able to achieve this through the use of telematics devices that can collect real-time data, like extreme driving events. 

Reduce Fuel Costs

Do you know that the average long-haul truck idles for as many as 8 hours a day? This could add up to thousands of hours of fuel wasted in a year. By implementing a GPS tracking system that gives you visibility into your fuel usage, you can save up to ￥30,000 annually since you'll be able to minimize idling and control fuel usage.

Reduce Maintenance Costs

Most GPS tracking systems come equipped with advanced telematics features such as engine health indicators, fuel level indicators, and vehicle diagnostics.

Such features allow fleet managers to monitor key maintenance aspects and stay updated on their vehicles' overall health. Samsara, for instance, helps fleet owners prevent vehicle breakdowns with preventative reminders, over-the-air diagnostics, and fault code alerts.
