GPS Tracking for Portable Toilet Fleets

19 Jun 2018

The portable toilet industry is growing by leaps and bounds throughout the United States, accounting for roughly one billion dollars in revenue each year. According to Manta, an online directory dedicated to helping small businesses grow, there are 5,157 companies listed on their site offering portable toilets in the U.S. and every indication is that those numbers will grow over the next several years.

Where Do People Need Portable Toilets?

Portable toilets are a necessity in many environments where running water is unavailable. These places include a variety of locations and events, including the following:

Construction Sites
Carnivals
Concerts
Festivals
Fairs
Outdoor Weddings
Parks
Golf Courses
Sports Complexes
Highway Construction Projects
Disaster Relief Areas
Marathon Routes (charity walks and runs, too)

It doesn’t take much to understand how useful, even essential, portable toilets can be today. They are instrumental in securing adequate sanitation in some areas and making sure that those on the go have somewhere to go.

Why does a Portable Restroom Operator (PRO) Need GPS Fleet Tracking?

There are plenty of reasons to consider GPS fleet tracking for your fleet of portable toilets. One of the biggest reasons, though, is to discourage mischief, in the form of theft of your units, and to assist in the swift recovery of portable toilets people have absconded with.

GPS tracking can be used in two ways. First, you can establish a geofence for your toilets. Once that fence is established, you will be notified immediately if your portable toilet moves outside its designated area. The second way GPS fleet tracking is by aiding in the recovery of your stolen units by providing real time location results police can follow to secure the return of your equipment.

Beyond theft and recovery, though, GPS fleet tracking works better than traditional tracking devices to provide directions to the types of remote locations where portable toilets are generally required. This includes new housing developments and business construction projects as well as festivals and events held in remote areas.

Finally, though, GPS fleet tracking allows you to keep up with what’s going on behind the wheel of your truck. The steering wheel, that is. Driver error and accidents are often the result of speeding, hard braking, and other aggressive driving behaviors. GPS fleet tracking notifies you if certain behaviors are taking place behind the wheel, so you can address the problem with your drivers before an accident occurs.

In many small and large ways, GPS fleet tracking is an excellent decision for your portable toilet fleet. Try it today and see what it can do for your profits and your customer satisfaction.
