Once you’ve made the investment in GPS fleet tracking, you’ll discover a wealth of new and exciting ways to use your new tool to grow and expand your business. One unexpected benefit comes from using your GPS system to instill a sense of healthy competition among your employees.

The benefits to your business are even bigger than you might expect — especially when you are creative in establishing the goals of each competition. It can be things like:

• Lowest Fuel Waste
• Fewest Safety Violations
• Lowest Number of Idle Hours
• Least Overtime Hours
• Greatest Number of Miles Driven
• Highest Number of Positive Comment Reports from Customers
• Filling Most Job Orders

The possibilities are as endless as the benefits to your business, which include the bonuses listed below and more.

Increased Productivity

As your workers seek to accomplish the goals set forth in the competition, you’ll find that they’re more productive in the process — earning your business more money.

Higher Profit Margins

Not only will you make more money as healthy competitions occur, but your employees will develop positive habits that will last long after the contests end. These include:

• saving your business money in wasted fuel costs.
• unnecessary overtime wages.
• lower idling times.
• reduced vehicle maintenance.

That’s not even counting the higher customer satisfaction, additional referrals, and phenomenal growth your business is likely to experience as a result.

Greater Camaraderie Among Employees

While it is possible for some employees to take the competition a little too seriously, for the most part, it brings coworkers closer together to have a little healthy competition going on among them. And it’s good for business from every angle as it:

• improves engagement.
• increases employee loyalty.
• creates a fun work environment.

All of which are appealing to newcomers and your more seasoned workers alike.

Keeping the Competition Real

Of course, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you want the competitions to be as simple as possible. Of secondary importance, the competition should be fun, something that is easy to determine a clear winner, one that has a specific goal (plus start and end date), and should not interfere with the actual operation of your business.

GPS fleet tracking allows you to seamlessly track many of the different contest goals mentioned above so you can even send your drivers status updates letting them know who is in the lead or how close the competition happens to be – you know, to help kick things up a notch or two when things start to really heat up!

Try it with your business and see what a difference a little healthy competition can make – and how easy it is to implement with GPS fleet tracking. Give us a call here at LiveViewGPS with any and all questions you have about GPS fleet tracking.

There is nothing quite like a hands-on demonstration to help you understand how a product works. The same is true when it comes to GPS tracking systems, like the Live Trac System. Fortunately for you, the Live Trac System offers a demo you can use to see for yourself how user-friendly the system is and learn more about the many ways it can benefit you. These are a few of the features you can explore with the demo.

Live Chat

This feature is perhaps one of the most useful features for people who aren’t sure of how to maximize benefits of live GPS tracking systems. Live Support is available Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm Central Time and between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:00 pm on Saturdays. It is simple to use by clicking the Live Chat button on the screen and typing your message in the window that pops up.

Map Control

This tab on the demo screen allows you to zoom, pan, and rotate the map so you can easily locate assets in real time. It also provides features allowing you to view the weather and traffic. Once you’ve clicked on the map controls button, a window will open up for map controls and a video is in place to explain how easy it is to use features within the map control box.

Device Management

The Device management option allows you to select individual assets, or vehicles, or all of your devices at the same time. You can even choose to view vehicles according to groups. This allows you to manage your fleet more easily as an entire fleet or address specific, individual vehicles.

Report System

Reports are important tools that enable you to identify and reduce waste, operate more efficiently, and earn more profits in the future. You can set up your report system to provide information about speeding, mileage, idling, aggressive driving, hours of operation, device mileage, starts and stops, and even to notify you if drivers deviate from their assigned routes so you can identify potential routing errors, timing issues, or driver issues.

Alert Notifications Tab

The alert and notifications tab is one you will use to define occasions in which you wish to receive alerts and how you’d like to receive the notices. You have the options of listing email addresses, phone numbers, and/or SMS numbers for multiple users to receive notices when specific circumstances arise so that potential problems can be addressed quickly by the appropriate leaders within your organization.

Dispatch/Routing

This tab allows you plan, create, and manage routes efficiently and easily. Whether you are planning a daily route for drivers to take or addressing the specific needs of drivers to respond to occasional service calls, you can take care of the fine details here.

Addresses

More than a simple list of addresses, this tab allows you to create locations on your map so that you can place markers on the map and search for specific locations as needed. You can use physical addresses or the latitude and longitude to create markers on your address map for greater ease of use.

Historical Playback

This feature is one that allows you to identify the travel route of any of your tracked assets within the past 90 days. You can follow the routes, examine details (such as speed, aggressive driving, or duration of stops to ensure that jobsites were visited as reported). Historical playback can be used for a variety of purposes including supporting drives when claims are levied against them.

The most important thing to remember when exploring the LiveViewGPS Live Trac System demo is that you will always have access to live chat support (during office hours) to help you with questions and concerns that arise as you dive deeper into the different features the Live Trac System offers. This means that you are not simply thrown to the wolves to figure it out, but have help available to help with most of your GPS and fleet tracking needs.

Biohazardous waste disposal fleets have important responsibilities for keeping people safe from exposure to many potential diseases and other contaminants. GPS fleet management systems can help you improve the operation of your business and improve your profits while helping you operate more efficiently on a routine basis. These are a few of the benefits your biohazard waste disposal fleet can enjoy with the assistance of GPS fleet tracking.

Optimize Driving Routes

More efficient routing means better fuel management, less overtime, and happier customers. In fact, you can use your fleet management system to add new stops to your routes without adding time or too much fuel to the expenses leaving you free to earn more in the same amount of time.

Decrease Fuel Costs

The fuel savings of GPS tracking systems alone is enough to account for the costs of investing in a GPS management system for your biohazard waste disposal business. With gas prices constantly on the rise, it is essential to look for savings where they are possible and planning more efficient routes means you consume less fuel as your drivers go about their days.

Locate Drivers Quickly

The real beauty of GPS tracking for biohazard waste disposal fleets is the ability to quickly locate your trucks at all hours of the day or night. This is essential when accidents occur and you need to get containment and cleanup equipment into place immediately because you know the exact GPS location of your drivers so you can respond appropriately.

Improve Vehicle Maintenance

Managing a fleet of biohazard waste removal vehicles can be challenging. The routine maintenance needed to keep your fleet in tip-top running order can sometimes fall through the cracks leaving your vehicles facing the need for more frequent repairs, breakdowns, and shorter lifespans.  You can use your GPS tracking system to help schedule routine maintenance for the protection of your drivers and your vehicles.

Monitor Driver Behavior

Because the materials your drivers are carrying is so dangerous, it is doubly important to be certain that they are driving responsibly on behalf of your business. Monitoring their behavior behind the wheel allows you to know when driving patterns arise that need your attention so you can take appropriate action.

GPS fleet tracking allows you the opportunity to improve your biohazard waste removal business in many ways. The big question you need to know the answer to now, is why you’ve waited so long to bring it into yours.
