3 Winter Weather Industries That Can Benefit from GPS Tracking
30 Nov 2016
Whenever old man winter rears his head, most people head for the comforts of home hoping to ride out the storms in relative warmth. But more than a few dedicated professionals are on call during these perilous times, ready to brave the cold, wind, sleet, ice, and snow to keep the roads safe and homes warm throughout the snowy regions.
Below are three winter weather industries that greatly benefit from GPS tracking.
Snow Plow Companies
These men and women not only head out in the worst wintertime weather to keep the roads safe for drivers brave enough to venture out and to ensure that emergency vehicles can reach their intended destinations. That doesn’t mean that accidents can’t happen along their routes and that there is no risk to these trucks and their drivers.
GPS fleet tracking allows you to keep track of your vehicles, ensure that all roads are being plowed and that your drivers are safe. It can also be used to track weather so you can monitor the safety of drivers on the road and pull them back when it becomes necessary for safety.
HVAC Companies
In the days leading up to winter weather events, and sometimes during these snow storms, so that your customers can remain safe and warm no matter how cold the weather outside becomes.
You’ll want to dispatch efficiently during these busy times so that no home, or furnace, is left behind, and to ensure that you are using your staff to the best possible advantage. GPS fleet tracking can help with all that and more – even verifying arrival times and departure of your drivers should billing concerns arise.
Propane Delivery Drivers
One thing no one wants to do is run out of propane during a winter weather event. Delivery drivers for liquid propane suppliers are often working overtime during the days prior to, and immediately after, any major winter weather events.
GPS fleet tracking helps to ensure delivery of propane to the correct property, plan more efficient routes, and notify you of potential hazardous driving that could be a sign your drivers are at risk or not taking the risks the weather poses seriously enough.
Winter weather can be stunningly beautiful to look at. Driving in it is another matter altogether. GPS fleet tracking allows you to keep tabs on your drivers to ensure their performance, productivity, and safety on these tricky winter roads. Try it today and see how much of an impact it can have on your winter weather business.
