GPS Tracking Helps Refrigeration Company With Problem Drivers
, ,
Any industry that relies upon human capital to run its business effectively knows that hiring a staff of competent,healthy,and above all else,honest employees can be a daunting task. For fleet tracking managers,having to consistently oversee the duties of anywhere from one to over a hundred drivers can be too much to handle,and dishonest employees are too often tempted to take advantage of their freedom while on the clock and utilize company vehicles and time for personal interests. With this in mind,many fleet tracking operators have adopted various types of GPS tracking services to monitor the vehicles in their fleets. As with every broadly-accepted technology, GPS tracking systems are constantly improving,and it is up to business leaders to take note of the ever-evolving paradigms that encompass the personal vehicle and corporate fleet tracking industry.

Artic Mechanical,a refrigeration,HVAC,and EMS specialist company serving the entire southwestern United States,has become all too aware of the benefits of upgrading their GPS tracking systems. Recently,a fleet truck driver was on his usual route around San Diego,CA when he suddenly strayed far off of his scheduled path. Next thing Artic Mechanical fleet tracking management knew,their truck was in Mexico. At the time of this incident,Artic Mechanical was utilized an outdated tracking system and software. While the company knew their truck had left the country (it had crossed a previously-defined geofence,alerting fleet operators),they had no idea where exactly their employee,vehicle,and contents of the shipment were exactly. While the employee eventually returned and explained he had simply missed an exit,the fleet tracking team at Artic Mechanical decided it was time to upgrade their GPS tracking systems.

After investing in new tracking units and user-friendly software interfaces,the company is now able to monitor its entire fleet in real-time during work hours. Managers know exactly when their drivers are speeding,leave their intended routes,or spend too much time on their lunch breaks. Because of the constantly-transmitting GPS signals,it truly is as if managers are right next to the drivers they are responsible for. Whether or not the employee in this instance really did simply miss an exit,with an up-to-date GPS tracking system future unnecessary costs related to these situations are sure to become a thing of the past. While nobody is a perfect worker one hundred percent of the time,with a solid GPS tracking service fleet managers can ensure their employees make the most of company time and resources.
