How Fleet Telematics Can Help You Manage Large Scale Events
11 Nov 2015Planning major events can be as thrilling as it is challenging. Nailing down all the details and keeping up with all the pieces and parts that allow large scale events to go off without a hitch was once virtually impossible. Today, thanks to the fleet telematics, it’s easier than ever to keep up with what’s going on with the preparations, organization, and execution of your high profile event.
These are just a few ways fleet telematics can help.
Provide Additional Layer of Protection for Event Equipment and Vehicles
The first layer of protection is by establishing GPS tracking of event equipment and vehicles. These items are costly to replace and their absence can have a profoundly negative impact on the event and public perception. It’s critical to know where they are at all times. GPS tracking can be used to send alerts whenever these important and costly items are moved. That way organizers can quickly determine whether they’re supposed to be moving and take appropriate action accordingly.
Additionally, it can be used to establish a specific perimeter for event equipment that will alert key
personnel whenever equipment moves beyond the predetermined perimeter. Further, live GPS fleet tracking can be used to track the items as they move and once they stop moving to aid in their timely recovery.
Added Security Measures Such as Fleet Telematics Helps Attract Vendors and Sponsors
Many large scale events rely heavily upon corporate sponsors and vendors to help cover the costs and get appropriate notice within the community and beyond. Attendance, after all, is critical for event success and there is nothing like corporate attention and an attractive selection of vendors on site to draw the attention of members of the public who are likely to attend.
The added security that GPS fleet management provides is an attraction to these corporate sponsors who donate the use of their vehicles and/or equipment to the event. Knowing that you’ve got a handle on how you’re going to protect their investments raises interests and faith in your ability to properly organize the largest of events.
Identify Location of Organizers and Staff Members Quickly
Tracking event organizers and staff members helps to find the person nearest potential problem areas so that the nearest person can be prompted to respond to the crisis. It also helps to identify when critical personnel may be stuck in traffic or off-site so that the next person in the hierarchy can be located and notified to respond to situations when needed.
Safety and security are important considerations for large scale events. Managing equipment, vehicles, and personnel – along with good planning and execution – can help large scale events go off without a hitch. Telematics are instrumental in providing appropriate management of staff, vehicles, and equipment.
