How Event Management Companies Can Benefit from GPS Tracking
19 Aug 2014Pulling events together takes a lot of people working together to make it happen. Unfortunately, that leaves a lot of moveable parts and personnel to keep up with. GPS tracking systems can help you keep up with where your people and equipment are so you know what’s going on at all times. This vital information can be viewed at any time – either remotely from computer, or on-site via Internet accessible tablet devices and smartphones.
Monitor Equipment Location
While not all of the moving parts are vehicular in nature, GPS tracking, when combined with the power of RFID scanning, can help you monitor the location, movement, and placement of the costly equipment that helps you manage your events.
Of course, there is the added benefit of placing GPS tracking devices on valuable equipment to deter theft and facility fast recovery of expensive equipment. You can even set up text alerts that let you know, instantly, if equipment begins to move when it should not be moving.
Real Time Tracking of Staff and Volunteers
One important role of successful management teams is to ensure that the right people are in the right places at the right times. It makes a world of difference in the success of the event, whether you’re planning the Super Bowl halftime show, the Olympics, or a high school prom because everyone needs to be in the right place at the right time or mistakes occur.
Two-Way Communication
The ability to use GPS equipment for two-way communication helps you manage personnel at multiple event locations to ensure that everything is going off without a hitch. You can also stay up to date on volunteers and staff members as well as potential problems as they arise. It’s much easier to manage everything from one system rather than relying on several different devices and interfaces in order to keep track.
Weather Notifications
The benefit of weather notifications has become more widely appreciated in the aftermath of high profile incidents, such as theIndiana state fair collapse in 2011 that resulted in the loss of seven lives and 58 additional injuries. Weather can have a profound impact on the way events shape up. Staying on top of potential weather threats helps you keep your personnel and the event guests safe from dangerous weather conditions.
Notifies You of Safety Problems
GPS tracking on vehicles, such as limos and delivery vehicles, can be set to notify you of reckless driving, high speed driving, and of vehicles veering from their designated routes. This lets you stay on top of the situation to ensure safety and security of your vehicles, their drivers, their passengers, and the cargo they carry.
The bottom line is that using GPS fleet tracking tools for your event management business improves your bottom line and helps you keep your events running smoothly.
