Route around Event Traffic and Rush Hour Congestion

Planning pick-up and drop-off routes around the heaviest traffic hours allows you to be more efficient with your pickups and deliveries.
Improve Fleet Safety
In addition to monitoring the routes drivers are taking, GPS fleet traffic allows you to monitor driver behaviors behind the wheel so you can address aggressive driving, reckless driving, speeding, and other types of driving that cause accidents.
Provide Customers with Accurate Delivery Windows
Customers counting on deliveries to meet their needs for the day also need to know when those deliveries will be made so they can ensure they have the right staff available to disperse the linens to their appointed destinations within the hotel. Providing accurate delivery times allows them to avoid unnecessary delays, keep labor costs low, and improves their overall satisfaction with your hotel linen laundering service.
