Say you park your car at an unknown location for shopping and after a few hours when you come back, you realize that you have lost the way and not sure which is the right way reach to the car. But if you have a smart phone with Internet you could easily find out where the last recorded GPS points were and easily find your car- no ruckus, no stress - as easy as that!
The major reason that people nowadays invest in fleet GPS tracking devices is for reasons of burglary. With a detached GPS Tracking device built-in to the car, you will be able to keep track of the current location of the car and hence you can easily find your stolen car with the help of police. GPS Tracking devices in cars and trucks are a great help to the police and facilitate them to recover your vehicle quickly. Having a fleet GPS Tracking device installed in the vehicle may even reduce your insurance costs, which automatically counteracts the cost of the tool in the first place.
Tracking systems aren't only designed for single car solutions. If you run a large fleet based business, you may have a large fleet of cars, trucks or vans. GPS can play a big role in maintaining the erosion cost of your fleet whilst also assisting with the health and safety facet of your drivers, by making sure they are not driving your vehicle during 'down time'.
In terms of managing fuel costs also GPS tracking is very useful. With the equipment fitted, your drivers are less likely to be using company vehicles for personal purposes which would not only cost in terms of petrol but also the wear and tear of the vehicle itself.
So in synopsis, a fleet Vehicle Tracking device could truly save you money in the long term either through insurance costs or mistreatment of company vehicles.
