Wouldn’t it be great if you could watch your entire fleet of vehicles from 20,000 feet in the air? You could verify that workers are where they say they are, make sure they aren’t speeding, stop extensive idling, help a dispatcher identify location during urgent calls, or even find the most efficient route for a company vehicle to travel during a job.
Well, technology that used to be affordable only for big corporations is now not only available but economical for fleets as small as five vehicles, right here in the Boston area.
We recently saw a demonstration from Boston Global Tracking, a new local business dedicated to helping other businesses keep track of their vehicles. We don’t have any kind of interest in this company other than liking what they do, so our endorsement is based entirely on what we’ve seen, and how we think it can help you control your fleet.
The simplicity behind the technology is ingenious. The same GPS that many drivers already use to find directions can be monitored through the internet at any given time, providing you not only with precise vehicular location, but also with information like speed and trip information. Furthermore, improvements in GPS technology allow the devices to be implanted in the key of a company car, which eliminates any possibility of tampering.
This kind of a system often results in behavioral change without even having to discipline anyone. The value of better driving and fewer accidents are impossible to specifically quantify, but control over other things outlined above (such as eliminating lengthy idling), are.
