GPS Tracking for the Private Bus and Motorcoach Industry

3 Oct 2016

Private bus and motorcoach business owners have many concerns when your buses are on the road. What you may not realize, until you experience it for yourself, is that GPS fleet tracking can help to eliminate and relieve many of the concerns you have for the safety of your passengers, drivers, and your bottom line. These are just a few of the many benefits GPS tracking has to offer your business.

GPS Tracking Alerts for Scheduled Maintenance

Your busses log many hours on the road on any given day. Routine and preventative maintenance can become difficult to track when doing it by hand. GPS fleet tracking systems automate the process so that no maintenance tasks falls through the cracks. Well-maintained busses are safer for all involved. That’s the number one priority. But there is an added benefit when it comes to scheduling maintenance. That is the money saving benefit.

Scheduled maintenance saves money in two ways. First, by identifying signs of trouble before they become mechanical problems that could cost unnecessary delays and breakdowns for your business. Second, by extending the life and usefulness of your busses. Even if you only get one additional year of service through diligence maintenance, the savings are well worth the effort. GPS tracking alerts make it easy.

Monitor Driver Behaviors for Greater Fuel Efficiency

Things like fast accelerations, hard braking, and time spent idling can waste fuel. GPS tracking can be used to set up alerts when this happens, notify you if there is a pattern with a particular driver, and send monthly reports for all your drivers so you can see how they compare – and if additional education and training may be warranted for all your drivers.

You can set other alerts or notifications as well, such as when drivers deviate from their prescribed routes (so you can find out why), if buses exceed certain speed limits, and if buses are in operation outside of business hours.

GPS Tracking for More Efficient Routes

Planning routes for buses and motor coaches can be a complex proposition. The shortest route is not always the most efficient. GPS fleet tracking can help you plan routes that use time and fuel more efficiently. This gets drivers home faster, reduces fuel consumption. Eliminates overtime, and makes customers happier as they spend less time stuck in traffic and more times enjoying their destinations.

We all know that satisfied customers are repeat customers. The ability to provide reliable schedules, safe transportation, and lower rates than the competition will make your business a real winner in their eyes. You’ll be able to do all these things by saving big money on fuel, labor, and equipment when using GPS fleet tracking to make your business operate more efficiently and at greater profits than ever before.
