Reducing fuel and maintenance costs can be a fast way to make savings if your fleet vehicles are regularly driven for long hours. Companies operating in the logistics and haulage industry or passenger transport will likely find that fuel and vehicle maintenance are two of their biggest business expenditures.
One of the more obvious uses of vehicle tracking is to help your business identify instances of excess fuel consumption and undue vehicle wear and tear. Once these problems are pinpointed, a vehicle tracking system can help you monitor progress and bring about change. Aspects such as driver behaviours, mileage, vehicle utilisation and time management can all be measured and altered to produce better outcomes that ultimately save your business money.
Complete visibility of your fleet
Always knowing the location of your vehicles can be an invaluable tool. You can use this knowledge to:
- Plan more effectively
- Make more informed decisions
- Manage your customers’ expectations of arrival times
In the event of an accident or a problem with a vehicle, you can use vehicle tracking to send help speedily. The Live Tracking system shows the precise location of a driver who may need assistance, but it also shows where the rest of your fleet are in relation to them, in order of their proximity. This enables you to send the closest driver to recover the delivery, if any goods need to be transferred, or perhaps the closest repair vehicle if you manage vehicle repairs in-house.
Setbacks such as this can cost your business time and money. The delay in productivity and staff downtime will be an inevitable loss, but there may be cancellation fees or penalties involved too. Any disruption to your daily schedule will influence your business performance, and the H-TEC vehicle tracking system helps you to minimise those unwanted delays.
