What are the potential benefits of vehicle tracking to my business?

Dispatch and allocate new jobs to the nearest vehicles – if your business involves dealing with jobs that come in during the day, such as a courier who needs to pick up a parcel of a plumber that has to deal with a leak, knowing where the nearest vehicle is can save fuel and time. With the price of fuel as high as it is, saving one litre is likely to pay for the tracking system for the day and saving time allows for either an increase in productivity or a reduction in wages.

Provide transparency to your team's whereabouts – time theft is one of the greatest costs to Nigerian industry. Knowing where your mobile workforce is, what time they start and finish work and managing their breaks on the road can have a significant impact on your bottom line. While paying the same wages many companies see a significant increase in productivity that often coincides with the installation of the tracking system.

Improved health and safety – knowing the location of a workers vehicle can be of significant benefit if that person were to require immediate attention. Panic buttons can be fitted to vehicles that when pressed alert the office or a designated mobile phone of the emergency and the exact location of the vehicle.Good workers can be rewarded - People that work hard don't like the idea of a slack colleague earning just as much as them while putting in less time and effort. It discourages your good workers from working hard. With evidence you can reward the people that are working harder and are more likely to keep them motivated.

Control and reduce your overtime costs – one of the greatest returns you may get on your vehicle tracking investment would be a reduction in overtime. Many companies see a significant drop in overtime claims by employees after the installation of the tracking system, often with a corresponding increase in productivity.

Confirm ETA's and offer enhanced customer service – a lot of the incoming and outgoing phone calls in an office are between you, your customer and your driver/worker trying to establish when they will arrive on-site. With the vehicle location at your finger tips you can answer the customers query within seconds, providing a superior customer service and saving yourself time and money on calls to your driver and then back to the customer.

Increase your teams efficiency – having visibility of your workforce allows you to allocate jobs more efficiently, minimising the risk of them being paid wages whilst not actively working on a job that is providing an income for the business. Using the vehicle tracking systems you can see how much time your driver/worker is spending in transit versus on-site. If you’re an engineering company you want your workers on-site for the greatest possible portion of the time, but if you’re a courier you want the driver spending as little time on-site as possible with the largest amount of pick-ups and drop-offs. A good tracking system will allow you to measure what proportion of time people are spending driving versus stopped.

Control personal vehicle usage and eliminate moonlighting – many companies have a policy of allowing a moderate amount of personal usage outside of work hours, along as it is not excessive. However, there are often some drivers that misuse this policy and use the vehicles excessively, possibly moonlighting, increasing your fuel, leasing and maintenance costs. Vehicle tracking can prove this and the saving to the company is likely to be greater than the cost of the tracking system!

Improve your route planning – vehicle tracking can be used to analyse the routes taken by drivers and highlight areas of improvement. The main benefits of this are savings in fuel and time. With the price of fuel as high as it is, saving one litre is likely to pay for the tracking system for the day and saving time allows for either an increase in productivity or a reduction in wages.

Improve your customer invoices and response to disputes – if a customer raises concerns about an invoice relating to time on-site you can provide evidence easily as to how long your vehicle was on their premises and how many miles and how long it took to get there. This can save you money in unnecessary credits and give your customers confidence that you are not overcharging them. BE AWARE – this is a double-edged sword – if you are overcharging your customers, using this tool will get you into a spot of bother.

Reducing the average speed of your vehicles - as an example, if you get your vehicles to slow down and stay within the speed limits, this relates directly into fuel consumption, maintenance and accidents that could save up to 20% on your monthly running costs. The additional benefit of reducing speed is that your drivers may well keep their licenses for a while longer! And you can reduce your insurance liability. You may find that servicing and maintenance costs will reduce, however this will only be evident over time. It might take a year for you to really see the difference on your bottom-line, but it has to come if you are driving fewer miles and at the legal speed limits.

Lower insurance premiums - contact your insurance provider and request a discount when you can show them your vehicles are now driving slower, driving fewer miles and you are reducing the risk of accidents. You will also be able to see the location of your vehicle if it is stolen. If the insurance company will not give you a reduction, shop around. There are insurance companies that will offer a discount, once you can show an improvement.

Global Vehicle Tracking

The System is much more than a Stolen Vehicle Recovery System. It is a means of reversing a nation’s psyche of fear, paranoia and pessimism. Of rebuilding trust in an overburdened, much maligned police service and providing them with a practical, internationally proven weapon to combat the effects of vehicle crime. Thus utilising the country’s largest, most established network, the police, and putting it to more effective use.
It is a means of alleviating the economic burden of vehicle theft in Nigeria and reducing the consequently high insurance premiums.It is about putting vehicle thieves (and other serious criminals who use stolen vehicles for their crimes) behind bars. It is about taking responsibility rather than apportioning blame; doing something about a problem rather than just talking about it.
