What would it be like to be able to monitor your worker's progress, route, and time it took them to get there? How about being able to keep tabs on the location of every single bucket truck you have at all times? Sounds pretty nice doesn't it? It is all possible with the addition of a GPS system to your fleet. The price of GPS systems has gone down considerably in the last few years and can be installed for a relatively low price. The utility you will get from GPS/navigation systems will certainly be worth the cost.
First of all, Navigation/ GPS will allow your drivers to find the job site quicker and safer. The system shows an exact point to the destination that makes finding the work site much more manageable. Getting to the job site sooner means a more time to work there. This translates long term into more work getting done with the same amount of time. By getting to your work site quicker, you save money on fuel as well. The amount of savings you could see from that factor alone could pay for the GPS system. If you could make your business more efficient, why wouldn't you?
If you want to check in on your employees and make sure they aren't doing something they shouldn't be, a GPS system allows you to make sure your bucket trucksare wherethey're supposed to be. While this doesn't gaurantee that your employees will be working effectively, it does gaurantee that they are there with the equipment. It is especially handy when checking for extended lunch breaks, trips to the gas station, etc. Many times, if employees know they are being tracked with a GPS they will be more apt to follow the guidelines closer.
To sum up the benefits of a GPS system, they are essential to making your bucket truck fleet more efficient. Efficiency means more jobs and more money faster. The price of a GPS/ Navigation system is lower than ever and should be implemented into every fleet. Don't waste time or spend money when you shouldn't be. Get a GPS system for your fleet now.
