How Asphalt Pavement Contractors Can Benefit from GPS Fleet Tracking
22 Dec 2016
GPS fleet tracking has a lot to offer your asphalt pavement business. In fact, you might find a few surprising benefits that make it well worth considering the addition of GPS fleet tracking to all your paving and asphalt equipment and machinery.
These are just a few of the benefits that make GPS tracking for your asphalt pavement fleet a wise investment.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
In a society where everyone is going green, you’ll find that it is much easier to take steps to reduce your carbon footprint with GPS fleet tracking. Asphalt and pavement businesses have always faced a bit of an uphill battle for planet-friendly business practices.
GPS fleet tracking allows your paving equipment and transport vehicles to use less fuel and reduce fewer emissions by planning more efficient routes. With one or two vehicles, it might not make seem all that impressive, but when you multiply it by all the vehicles and pieces of equipment in your fleet, the benefits add up fast. Besides even small steps in the right direction will get you there eventually – especially if everyone is taking them.
Real Time Equipment Tracking
The obvious benefit of this particular feature is that you can track stolen paving equipment and machinery in real time. This aids in faster recovery of your stolen equipment and can help to reduce your insurance costs.
That isn’t the only benefit GPS tracking for equipment has to offer though. You can use this feature at any time so that you know if your drivers are somewhere other than the jobsite with your equipment. This reduces off-books work that could put your business and reputation at risk. It also reduces the number of employees taking care of personal business in company equipment and on company time. That reduces unnecessary overtime and helps to keep your workdays on schedule.
Simplifies the Dispatch Process
Because you can instantly track each piece of equipment in real time, you can simplify the dispatch process when calls come in by locating the nearest piece of equipment needed for the job (as well as the equipment that will be available soonest when time is critical).
Save Money
Asphalt and paving businesses in certain parts of the country operate seasonally. This means that saving money is critical to get through leaner winter months when there is no business. GPS fleet tracking allows you to save in many ways, including:
- Reducing Fuel Consumption and Costs
- Scheduling Preventative Maintenance (prevents more costly breakdowns)
- Extending Equipment Life Cycle
- Lowering Insurance Premiums (investing in GPS fleet tracking for all equipment and vehicles has the potential to reduce your insurance costs)
The bottom line is that GPS fleet tracking is a small investment you can make in your business that will greatly improve your bottom line – along with adding many other benefits at the same time.
