How Document Shredding Companies Can Benefit from Fleet GPS Tracking
30 Jul 2015Document shredding companies provide an important service to businesses of all shapes and sizes. GPS fleet tracking systems offer many benefits to document shredding companies. These are just a few reasons your document shredding business might want to consider bringing GPS tracking into the fold.
Document Security
Because of federal privacy laws, the security involved in document shredding is more important for some businesses, than others. Savvy shredding services, though, can offer the same security to all document shredding customers thanks to the advanced technology used by modern GPS fleet tracking systems.
More specifically to the ability to use RFID tracking to follow the progress of specific document loads and confirm that they never deviated from their anticipated paths. This is especially important for businesses that handle legal, financial, and medical documentation.
From pharmacies that handle prescriptions for medication and insurance documentation to hospitals that generate copious amounts of medical data to serve their communities. You can offer the ability for them to track their documents through RRID transmissions to ensure that security.
Keep Your Drivers on Top of Things
There’s nothing quite like knowing their every mile is being tracked to keep drivers on time and on course. It helps to prevent lost money in labor bills due to inactivity, off-route detours, off-schedule pit stops, and longer than called for lunches on the road. In other words, it helps enforce honesty among the ranks because you always know where your trucks are at any given time of the day.
Saves Your Business Money
While it may not be all about the Benjamin’s, the ability to make more money is what will make or break the average small business. Using GPS technology for fleet tracking virtually puts money back into your pocket by reducing the waste of money on unnecessary labor costs, wasting fuel sitting in traffic (or through inefficient route planning), and time lost with drivers searching for their destination thanks to outdated maps and directions.
Provides you with the Ability to Respond Quickly when Thefts Occur
While GPS tracking is typically deterrent enough to would-be thieves, when thefts do arise, it’s good to know that GPS fleet tracking can help find vehicles more quickly. It’s not just the entire truck that can be protected, though. Each container on the truck can be fitted with RFID tracking so that you know not only if some of the documents were offloaded from the truck, but which business these documents belong to. It’s just one more level of protection for your business and the private information of your customers’ clientele.
Verifies Receipt of Documents
GPS tracking also serves to verify that you did indeed pick up specific document containers at specific times so that customers always know where their documents are and when the shredding takes place. This can help to ease customer concerns and can be used to help reconcile any billing discrepancies that may arise.
These are just a few small ways GPS fleet tracking can help document shredding companies today. Try it for yourself and see what a difference it can make for your business.
