GPS Tracking for Medical Linen Services
31 Dec 2019Medical linen services provide important roles in the local healthcare community. Not only do you professionally clean the linens from various community hospitals, dental offices, medical clinics, and massage therapy businesses, you also make sure they are gathered and promptly returned so that these businesses have the clean supplies they need to operate at their maximum efficiencies.
Oftentimes, there isn’t a lot of room or time for error. GPS fleet tracking for medical linen services helps to ensure you’re operating at maximum efficiency, too.
Below are just a few ways GPS fleet tracking can help your medical linens services business operate more efficiently.
Improve Vehicle Maintenance Scheduling
Medical linen delivery trucks and vans that aren’t properly maintained can cost your business, big. These costs occur in the form of unnecessary delivery interruptions, excessive breakdowns, loss of operating efficiency, and excessive fuel costs. Even worse, they result in shorter vehicle life and more frequent maintenance-related accidents, which can cause your insurance rates to increase as well.
GPS tracking can automate the scheduling of preventative maintenance for your vehicles so that no vehicle in your fleet is left unmaintained.
Keep Drivers On-Route
Route deviations derail efficiency, disappoint customers, and cost your business extra fuel, extra labor, and lost time. Far too often employees take the opportunity, while “out of the office” to take care of personal errands on company time. This practice is known as time theft, and it costs U.S. employers more than $400 billion each year in lost productivity. In businesses with smaller profit margins, this theft can take a big bite out of your bottom line.
GPS tracking helps to keep your drivers on route and on task.
Provide Proof of Delivery
This creates satisfied customers in a way most businesses do not realize. No one wants to feel as though they’ve been taken to the cleaners. Especially by the cleaners. With GPS asset tracking you can provide proof of delivery for items as they are delivered to the appropriate facility. It’s a win for everyone and can be a great aid to you if there are ever billing disputes.
GPS fleet tracking is a boon for medical linen services because it offers many ways for your business to improve your image with customers, improve your operating efficiency, and cut your overall expenses for the year.
These benefits do not even include other benefits such as reputation management by encouraging safer driving, fuel savings by planning more efficient routes, and the many other ways GPS tracking can help you grow your business.
