Final mile delivery is the last step in the delivery process of a product, namely from a warehouse to the customer’s door. It’s an essential component of any business that is involved with deliveries. While last mile in delivery is vital to ensure high satisfaction from a customer, it’s often the most time-consuming and expensive part of the delivery process.
Therefore, businesses need to look to improve and optimize their final mile delivery process to reduce costs, maximize customer satisfaction, and gain or maintain a competitive advantage. If you don’t already know, one of the best ways a business can do this is by implementing GPS fleet tracking.

Everybody wants discounted insurance, so if you had the option of cheaper auto insurance, why wouldn’t you take it? In this case, vehicle recovery insurance discounts are discounts on insurance for individuals that have vehicle recovery systems, like GPS tracking, set up to track down a vehicle after it’s stolen. So, if you have GPS trackers installed, not only will you have cheaper auto insurance, but you’ll likely get your vehicle back too.
Why Do Insurance Companies Have Vehicle Recovery Insurance Discounts?
One reason insurance companies reward customers for using GPS tracking is because it encourages safe driving. Many insurers offer discounts up to 15% on insurance to businesses that use GPS tracking solutions.

You may have heard that GPS fleet tracking can help managers optimize driving routes, evade busy areas, and help monitor where drivers are in real-time, along with many other things. But did you know that GPS fleet tracking can help with accident investigation and litigation?
If you’ve driven down a freeway at least a handful of times, you know that car accidents are, unfortunately, not uncommon. While drunk driving may be the cause of many accidents on the road, it is not the only, and not the number one cause of car and truck accidents either. Instead, distracted driving is the main cause of car and truck accidents.

One of the more convenient things about modern life is that we can have almost anything we need delivered right to our door. However, for those who live in public neighborhoods, anyone can walk by our front door and potentially steal a package. Especially in the holiday season, porch pirates are a rampant problem. Luckily, experts have designed ways to reduce the likelihood of porch pirates and catch them if they do run off with your package.
1) Use delivery signatures.
Delivery signatures are one easy way to prevent porch pirates from running off with your packages. Instead of leaving the package at the door, some deliveries require a signature from the resident. While this is a very effective way of preventing stolen packages, because porch pirates can’t steal something off your porch if there’s nothing there, it is less convenient than the traditional drop at your door.

If you’ve considered GPS fleet tracking before, you know that it can help your business in a variety of ways: improving route optimization, monitoring driver behavior, and protecting your driver and company from litigation. But did you know that GPS fleet tracking can help mitigate and address theft problems from work trucks?
Not only are thieves breaking into trucks to steal tools and equipment, but some thieves even break in and drive away with the truck. In cases where the equipment might be large and valuable, it may be easier for thieves to run off with the whole truck than try unloading it into a different vehicle. Sometimes, work trucks can contain tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, tools, or products, not to mention the truck itself.
Case in point: Los Angeles police have noted more and more work trucks that owners are using to store expensive tools and equipment are being stolen. In a news release published on 12/2/2021, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) encouraged the public to protect their trucks, tools and equipment with a GPS monitoring device.
