Mobile GPS vehicle tracking device

Traditionally vehicle tracking was always done with a fixed in-vehicle GPS device. This hardware required fitting and was limited to reporting the position of the vehicle only, not the employee.

One of the benefits of this system was if the vehicle was stolen it would continue working and report the position of the vehicle so that it could quickly be recovered by the police.

The disadvantage of this type of vehicle tracking is that it cannot monitor the employee whilst out of the vehicle. For many businesses the benefits of employee tracking (an employee management solution) are more important than keeping track of the vehicle itself. Now there is an answer.

With the advancement of mobile phone technology now they can be used to keep track of employees. GPS enabled mobile phones only need a simple software download which syncs with the online real-time web interface.

Mobile phones as tracking devices

Mobile phones are taken everywhere by your employees whilst out and about as a means of keeping in touch. The installed tracking software will keep monitoring their position, direction of travel and speed (when in vehicle).

If an employee has to make multiple scheduled stops during the day these can be set up in advance and alerts sent to head office when arriving/leaving. Being able to see in real-time where all of your employees are has many advantages for your business, for instance the ability to divert resources in the most efficient manner when needed saves time and money.

There are also savings to be made in improved working practices. Using the collected data to identify where staff can work more efficiently. All of the real-time data is stored and can be viewed online or collated into a number of customisable reports (including mileage reports, timesheets etc).

Rather than thinking of the mobile phone as a tracking device it should really be seen as an employee management solution. As well as cost savings there is also compliance with Health and Safety legislation to consider.
