GPS Tracking for Wholesale Nurseries and Greenhouses
1 May 2018
Nurseries and wholesale greenhouses deliver the goods to consumers and local landscaping businesses each year. Your drivers spend a lot of time on the road and you invest quite a bit of money in keeping them there.
But, what if you could greatly reduce those costs? GPS fleet tracking for your wholesale nursery and/or greenhouse can do just that in the following ways.
Seamlessly Accommodate Moments of Increased Demand
Routes that may take mere mortals hours to plan out during times of peak demand can be handled in a matter of seconds with a GPS tracking system. All you need to do is input the data about deliveries, locations, etc. and the GPS system will do the work of planning efficient routes for you.
In fact, your GPS system might even have your routes so efficient your drivers are able to come back for refills throughout the day, facilitating more deliveries in fewer hours.
Keep Drivers on Task
One of the most difficult things for businesses, like your nursery or greenhouse, to do is account for all the time when drivers are out of sight. GPS tracking can be set to notify you whenever drivers deviate from their prescribed routes or make unscheduled stops.
If you’re concerned about drivers milking the clock or taking care of personal business on your dime, this is an excellent tool for figuring out where the problems exist. You can also use it to monitor driving to make sure your drivers are behaving safely behind the wheels of company vehicles and obeying the rules of the road.
Reduce Operating Expenses
This is, perhaps, the biggest benefit of all. GPS tracking can be used to help you monitor and reduce fuel costs. That’s a given. But, did you know it can also be used to help your nursery save money on labor when delivering plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees?
It’s true, by planning routes more efficiently, you can reduce your overtime costs while still managing to meet the needs of your customers during peak growing and planting seasons.
This is in addition to improving maintenance, so you can reduce costs of repairing and replacing vehicles while also reducing your insurance costs. It’s a boon for your bottom line!
These are only a few great benefits GPS tracking can offer your wholesale nursery or greenhouse. Now the question you need to ask is why you’ve waited so long to reap the rewards GPS tracking has to offer your wholesale nursery and greenhouse.
