There are several benefits of using GPS tracking for fleet management. These include:
Real-time location of vehicles (especially useful not only for the fleet manager but also for the customer, since both can know in real time where the merchandise is)
Improved safety for the fleet (by turning the engine on and off or changing the route, the fleet manager can find out if the vehicle has suffered a mishap, a mechanical failure or any other unforeseen event)
Route optimization
Savings on fuel (GPS technology helps to control the actual fuel consumption, measuring both the loads and the unloading carried out)
Promotion of efficient driving
Physical control of vehicles
Checking the maintenance needs of the fleet (some modern systems allow you to connect with the vehicle’s computer system to collect as much information as possible about its status while helping to determine if it needs any type of maintenance)
Decrease in the number of infractions
