GPS Fleet Tracking for Appliance Services Businesses

9 Jul 2019

Appliance services businesses cover a lot of ground on any given day. Whether you are performing routine maintenance on appliances like dishwashers, hot water heaters, etc. or you’re repairing broken refrigerators and ovens, or even providing invaluable installation services for homeowners throughout your city, GPS fleet tracking can help your business.

These are just a few of the ways your appliance services business benefits with GPS fleet tracking services.

Accurate Appointment Windows

One of the biggest complaints customers have when dealing with appliance service businesses is the lack of accuracy when creating appointment windows. Or worse, the lack of specificity. With GPS fleet tracking, your accuracy improves greatly, allowing you to provide narrower appointment windows for your time-strapped customers. Think of the benefits of providing two-hour windows for appointments rather than eight! Your customers will love you for it.

Continuously Updated Maps

With many casual GPS programs, maps are not updated frequently enough to keep up with new neighborhoods, housing developments, and streets being built. With GPS fleet tracking, your maps are continuously updated so you have the most accurate maps possible. This means your drivers make it to the appropriate destination on time and aren’t left calling homeowners for direction.

Efficient Routing

Want to save money for your business? There are two ways to do this effectively if you operate a fleet.

Cut labor costs.
Reduce fuel expenses.

GPS fleet tracking for appliance services businesses allows you to do both without missing a single appointment with your valuable customers. Efficient routing helps you reduce the amount of time it takes to get from one appointment to the next and helps you ensure your drivers aren’t at cross purposes with their assigned routes. This reduces labor expenses, overtime, and fuel costs at the same time.

Safer Driving Reputation

Your drivers may be the only thing many consumers see about your appliance business. If they are blowing other drivers off the road, though, you can accurately guess those drivers aren’t going to be interested in hiring you for their appliance repairs or installations. If your drivers develop a reputation for driving safely and courteously, on the other hand, you’ll make friends within the community without even realizing it. GPS fleet tracking provides instant feedback and reports for certain driver behaviors such as:

Speeding
Hard braking
Swerving
Aggressive driving
Fast acceleration

Additionally, you can set up alerts for route deviations too, so you know when your drivers leave their assigned routes and ask for immediate explanations.

The idea is that if you know what your drivers are doing behind the wheel you can create policies that protect problem driving and actions.
