Vehicle Fleet Tracking Ensures Driver Safety And Efficiency

When mobile workforce tracking technology was first installed by companies supplying

many small but time critical deliveries or running large fleet, many employees felt that vehicle tracking was an invasion of privacy. There was a feeling that fleet tracking devices would be used to create excessive work schedules and other time-based restrictions.

Even though companies have a legal right to install a GPS vehicle tracking system in their entire fleet, it was considered that it would be used by fleet managers to place pressure by constant interference and harassment, rather than being in contact when reasonably expected.

A key reason to install realtime tracking is so that fleet managers can work with their vehicle drivers and other mobile staff in the field to help make their daily operations run more smoothly and efficiently. Traffic and weather conditions, delivery instructions, timing schedules can all be subject to sudden changes, including unforeseen occurrences.

Commercial vehicle tracking enables instant response and decision making to ensure a next best solution can be deployed with the minimum of costly delay.

Typical everydayrequirements for a mobile workforce solution can be matching busy schedules with nearest available service personnel to a new or changed location. Where previously, only a telephone option could be used, now a vehicle tracker can enable all vehicles to be shown on screen with all necessary accompanying data relating to nearest vehicles, quickest routes and times, etc

Not least is the issue of ensuring driver and cargo safety and security. Issues of an Employers Duty of Carewill invariably include being in touch and aware of driving behaviour and attitude, minor incidents and more serious accidents. Additional Health & Safety considerations can also relate to stopovers or long distant journeys, unfamiliar routes, parking areas and final destinations.

Mobile workforce tracking, having been established and proven to be a major asset to streamlining everyday work efficiency for both employer and driver, is now not only accepted but positively embraced by fleet workforces as being a key contribution to significantly improving their daily work schedules.
