The vehicle tracking system is the technology that is used to locate the area of a vehicle utilizing various strategies like GPS and other route frameworks working by means of satellite and ground-based stations. The modern vehicle tracking system utilizes GPS technology that finds vehicles at any place on Earth.
If we talk about this time of high business uncertainty, do you know where actually your fleet is running? How much they have traveled during the entire day? Whether the driver ensures a smooth driving pattern or not? How much fuel is consumed and refilled during the trip? The answer is most likely “No”. In this era of absolute digitalization, relying completely on the drivers may affect your business on a large scale. The Covid-19 pandemic, also hands on to the unproductivity of any business, specifically Logistics Industry. The absence of GPS Vehicle Tracking Devices may leave your business open to various potential risks and also affect the essence of the company.
Now, let’s discuss some potential risks associated with Non-Tracking of the Vehicle
1. Enhanced Unproductivity: As discussed earlier, without GPS Tracking Device, you are not aware of your vehicle running, like their real-time location, real-time speed, excessive idling, etc. It is also well said for the Fleet Industry that if you are not tracking your fleet efficiently; you are running your business at low productivity. Drivers might take longer routes or have done excessive idling, meaning it takes a longer time for them to accomplish a task. This, in turn, will hamper you to delight your customer with a rich service experience.
2. Unsafe Driving Pattern: As per the news source, around 1200 accidents occur every single day in India. In Logistics Industry, we all know that you are putting your hard-earned money in the hands of the drivers by providing them with the vehicles. But How come you know the driver is keeping your vehicle safe all the time by following a safe driving pattern? When you don’t track your vehicles, it left you with no other way to track the driving patterns of the driver. Also, note that rash driving patterns account for higher repair bills whereas sudden acceleration/ braking will incur high wear and tear costs.
3. Fuel Pilferages: We all are aware of the surge in fuel prices in the last couple of years, the running cost of the vehicle has gone extensively high. The drivers also hand on to illegitimate activities like the theft of fuel. But without a GPS tracker, how will you track the daily consumption and the refueling? Paying High Fuel Costs is directly proportionate to the unproductivity of any business.
4. Alerts and Notifications: A familiar situation occurs with every transporter daily in that they are unaware of the actual timing of the driver leaving from the source location and reaching the destination location. Without GPS Vehicle Tracking Device, you cannot get real-time alerts and notifications. Instant alerts will help the transporter to gain knowledge in case the driver is doing route deviation, excessive idling, late deliveries, etc.
5. Graphical and Analytical Report: In real-life scenarios, transporters usually have ‘n’ number of vehicles that are running at every nook and corner of the world. But without the Vehicle Tracking System, how come they know about every notification of their fleet size? The transporter with the help of the GPS Vehicle Tracking System will gain information from the Centralized Dashboard and efficient reporting system and will take necessary steps in case if necessary.
Hope that you must know the importance of having an efficient Vehicle Tracking System, to safeguard your vehicle and for the prosperity of your burgeoning business.
