How FleetMatics GPS Vehicle Tracking Can Help
The FleetMatics GPS Vehicle Tracking Solution provides fleet managers and owners with powerful GPS fleet tracking tools that can help reduce fuel costs and increase fleet productivity.
Reducing Fuel Costs with Fleet TrackingWith fuel costs remaining high, the only way to lower your fuel bill is by reducing consumption. The FleetMatics GPS tracking system includes management features to help ensure that your vehicles use fuel efficiently.
- Monitor Vehicle Speed High speed is a major source of wasted fuel. In fact, maintaining efficient vehicle speed provides a fuel economy benefit of 7-23%.
Our fleet tracking system allows you to monitor the speed of each vehicle in your fleet. In addition, Red Flag Alerts will notify you when any vehicle exceeds your designated speed threshold. With FleetMatics GPS fleet tracking, you’ll always know which drivers are speeding and wasting your fuel.
- Reduce Idling Times
FleetMatics GPS fleet tracking also monitors idling times for each of your vehicles. A vehicle that idles longer than 10 seconds wastes more fuel than restarting the engine.
Considering all factors, including any wear and tear caused by restarting, any vehicle that will be stopped for more than 60 seconds (except in traffic) should have the engine turned off.
FleetMatics GPS vehicle tracking gives you the ability to see the precise amount of time your fleet vehicles are idling – showing you which drivers allow their vehicles to sit and unproductively burn petrol.
Use GPS Vehicle Tracking to Increase Fleet ProductivityThe FleetMatics GPS tracking system provides several features to increase fleet productivity, allowing your company to do more business every day. In fact, a recent study found that organisations with fleets experience a 23% increase in the total number of service calls completed per day per technician once a fleet tracking system was installed in their vehicles.
- Increase Response Times
Our fleet tracking provides minute-by-minute updates so you know the exact location of every vehicle, every minute, 24/7. You will be able to help drivers pinpoint the location of and the quickest route to a job site. FleetMatics GPS fleet tracking will also notify you if drivers choose inefficient routes or take unauthorised journeys.
FleetMatics GPS vehicle tracking also includes the Nearest Vehicle Locator. This gives fleet managers the ability to locate the vehicles closest to any job site and dispatch them in an efficient manner. Not only does this increase your response to customers, it decreases fuel costs by localising vehicle routes.
- Decrease Overtime Hours
Our GPS tracking system includes automatic timesheet features to help you keep accurate employee hours and reduce paperwork. You will be able to quickly determine the actual number of hours an employee spends in the vehicle, how long they spend at each job site, if they are using vehicles for private use during work hours (or unauthorised after-hours use) and monitor excessive stop times.
