Fleet GPS is a powerful tool, but when you combine it with field service management you can more effectively handle all the important components of your business: your fleet, your employees, and your customers. Combining these two systems allows you to have all the information you need to make fleet decisions and to effectively communicate those decisions in the field.
Benefits of Fleet GPS Systems
Even the smallest fleets require a certain level of management, and the more information you have, the better you can decisions that will positively impact your business. Some of the benefits of investing in fleet GPS include:
- Asset protection – Real-time vehicle information and reports mean that you always know where your vehicles are and what they are doing.
- Driver accountability – Cross-reference time sheets with real data, track speeding, or find out whether a driver has gone outside a geofence.
- Improve maintenance – Can’t remember when the next tire rotation should be scheduled? Set up an alert to let you know.
- Streamline operations – Use automatic time sheets and real-time data to speed up the billing cycle.
Benefits of Field Service Management Tools
While fleet GPS allows you to better track your vehicles, field service management tools make communicating with your drivers much easier. Some of the benefits of using field service management tools include:
- Easy driver dispatching – Two-way communication systems let you quickly correspond with drivers in the field.
- Better customer service – Dispatchers can assign or change routes based on driver activity and location. Drivers can post updates of their status in the field so dispatchers stay informed at all times.
- Improve time tracking – Allow drivers to easily clock in and out on the road, then export the time sheet data for faster payroll processing.
