subject: Save With Gps Tracking System [print this page] Vehicle Tracking has become one of the important parts of today's competitive transportation industry. This article illustrates a few instances of fleet owners problems and the likely solutions by using a GPS based Vehicle tracking system.
A Tourist bus owner having one Tourist Bus has a necessity to make sure he gets his rental and running fee along with ability to save fuel. Installing a GPS Vehicle tracking device like the one from Vazhikatti makes sure he instantly knows where and when the vehicle goes and he charges the hirers accordingly.
A small illustration will help understand this.
Some tourists from town X hires a bus for a two day fixed fee trip to Y.
The Bus owner charges then $200 per day based on the fact that the tourists will go to the location Y and for sightseeing and return next day evening.
The tourists after spending a few hours in Y change their mind and want to go to town Z (which is around 40 miles from Y) and inform the driver that they are ready to spend a $400 for the extra trip they want to take
The information is not passed on to the owner, the driver agrees for the extra trip and refuels the vehicle with additional 50 liters of diesel and starts moving.
If the bus has a GPS Vehicle Tracking System installed on it, the owner can keep getting hourly SMSes. He can also check the route taken by the bus on the websites.
The owner knows very clearly that the extra trip is made and is able to retrieve the extra payment if a GPS tracking system is installed.
Now let us consider a Fleet Owner with 28 vehicles. A fleet owner who uses 28 vehicles for supply and procurement of industrial gas has a necessity to make sure the customers are supplied on time along with procurements reaching on time along with the ability to save cost on fuel and optimizing his fleet. A better usage of his fleet can result in reducing the capital expenditure and put some money on his hands enabling him to improve his business.
A small illustration
The current business needs at least 50 trips to/from the customer and supplier locations
This set of vehicles without a GPS Tracking device, will always play catch-up to the schedule requirements
Some times these vehicles will make only 45 trips a day and the owner will want to buy a new vehicle
Now, if he has a GPS Tracking system installed in his fleet
He will be able to do more trips in a day by better managing the fleets
This will help him in improving the business results and after 3 months they will be able to reduce the number of trucks.
The net result of this was a capital savings on the truck and a net profit increase.
