Increased Productivity

 

Are your drivers taking the most efficient routes? Are they driving the routes you planned?

With a GPS tracking system, you can update and plan routes more efficiently and in real-time. For example, if you own a logging company and get a sudden request to haul freight, you can see if a truck is in the area to pick up that freight. Companies can deliver more freight in less time while using more efficient routes.

You can also use GPS tracking to improve employee output. For example, a cleaning company employee finds themselves at a home and they realize they forgot a mop.

They can call the home office to look for another cleaner nearby who does have an extra mop. This way, the cleaner get a mop without having to go back to the home office if it’s more efficient.
