So what are the benefits?
Vehicle tracking systems
Most businesses are looking for vehicle tracking solutions in order to increase productivity, as well as providing useful information on journeys in order to manage and effectively meet customer expectations and KPIs (key performance indicators).
Additional services now offered in vehicle tracking systems include:
- Remote temperature monitoring - specifically useful for temperature controlled vehicles or consignments
- Mapped data and current location - including easy to interprate information on current location and local area mapping
- Driver information and past journeys - helping with productivity of drivers and prevention of depreciation of the value of your vehicles
- Real time speed data - to assist businesses in obtaining an accurate ETA as well as monitoring driver behaviours
Lone worker tracking systems
Unlike vehicle trackers, lone worker trackers provide more safety and additional features for the worker/s. These include
- Emergency buttons - one push for the worker to contact the office or a designated colleague in an emergency situation
- Radio communications - easy to use radio that can be utilised for fast communications with colleagues
- Location tracking - office based worker tracking via any internet connected pc
There are many other features and benefits offered by these systems, but these are some of the most helpful for many of the people I have seen using these systems.
