Things go wrong in real time, and when they do, you\u2019ll often be forced to make quick decisions without having all the information. GPS tracking gives you that context as it happens: you can see where every vehicle is and how it\u2019s being driven, so instead of having to call your drivers for updates, you act on live data.<\/p>\n

Dispatch the right vehicle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Assigning the wrong driver to a job costs you time and fuel. But with GPS tracking, you can see exactly which vehicle is closest and available. A live GPS tracker updates location every minute or two, so you never have to rely on rough estimates. Need to reroute drivers mid-shift? You can do that and still keep your schedules intact.<\/p>\n

Adjust routes when conditions change<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With GPS tracking, you can see delays forming and reroute drivers immediately, so they don\u2019t have to get caught in the middle of a traffic jam. Your dispatchers don\u2019t have to wait for drivers to report issues.<\/p>\n

Catch issues before they turn into breakdowns<\/strong><\/h2>\n

GPS tracking shows you when a vehicle is starting to need maintenance based on how it\u2019s being used and how it\u2019s performing, so that instead of reacting to a breakdown, you plan around it and keep vehicles in rotation.<\/p>\n

Respond to risky driving<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unsafe driving affects your insurance rates and even your company\u2019s reputation on the road.\u00a0GPS tracking<\/a>\u00a0records events like speeding and harsh braking so that you can stop bad driving habits.<\/p>\n

Give customers accurate answers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Customers don\u2019t want vague time windows. They want to know when something will arrive.<\/p>\n

GPS tracking<\/a>\u00a0lets you share real-time ETAs based on actual vehicle location. And if a delay happens, you can update the customer immediately to prevent complaints.<\/p>\n

What are some of the best GPS tracking solutions out there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We designed the Fleet Tracker OBD as a simple and direct way to start using\u00a0GPS tracking<\/a>\u00a0without the usual installation headaches. All you really have to do is plug it into the OBD port, and it starts sending data from the vehicle right away.<\/p>\n

It provides real-time updates and alerts for speed, idling, route activity, and after-hours use \u2014 all for $19.95 per month (no contracts).<\/p>\n

For fleets that need a more fixed setup, we built the Fleet Tracker HW,<\/strong>\u00a0which is a hardwired device that connects directly to the vehicle and provides continuous\u00a0GPS tracking<\/a>\u00a0through the Verizon network.<\/p>\n

You get position updates every one or two minutes while the vehicle is moving, along with on-demand location checks. The system can also track ignition status, idle time, stop locations, and speeding events, and you can access it from any connected device. It\u2019s compatible with systems like Service Titan and Fleetio (among others). Like the OBD version, the hardwired tracker includes a battery backup and tamper alerts, so you stay aware of any interference.<\/p>\n
