How Elevator Repair Companies Can Benefit from Fleet GPS Tracking
27 Apr 2015As an elevator repair company, you have a lot of ground to cover on an average day, which is why GPS fleet tracking can be a huge benefit to your business. These are just a few of the ways GPS tracking can help you build better customer relationships, while seriously boosting your bottom line.
GPS Provides Fastest Route to Destination
While it’s true you want to go the most fuel efficient route, when one of your clients has people stuck in an elevator, it feels like an emergency to them.

Older buildings often have repeat offenders are far as elevators go. You can troubleshoot potential problems more quickly by pulling up the elevator history and identifying changes that need to be made, as well as to eliminate repairs that have been made recently as less likely problems.
Provide Customers with Ability to Track Your Drivers
Since it always feels like emergencies when elevators are down in apartment buildings, hotels, and high-rise office buildings, your customers are a little anxious about when your repair technicians will arrive.
You can let them know when the technician is heading their way so they can have a better idea of when your technician will arrive. This makes them feel more valued as a customer.
Records Arrival and Departure Times of Your Technicians
This is important for numerous reasons. First, it provides an accurate accounting of how long your technicians were on the scene for billing purposes. Second, it serves as proof in the event that disputes arrive over timetables. Third, it provides records you can use in your own paperwork – including mileage, time, distance, and labor. Paperwork, from a fleet perspective, has never been easier.
