It’s a lot harder to get lost these days. From easy to use consumer handheld products to integrated systems in a vehicle, the use of GPS navigation has improved our ability to get from point A to point B. Traditional GPS functions have also included the ability to track a vehicle anywhere within a few meters. Outside of directions and tracking, the benefits of GPS navigation have exponentially improved mobile worker productivity due to technology improvements in handheld devices, application software and wireless services.
By combining the traditional benefits of GPS with real-time data, companies that employ mobile workers can manage their assets via a computerized map and utilize them more effectively. Using this data can dynamically determine the best route, avoid areas that are under repair and provide real –time information where your workers and assets are at any time. Route data history or ‘bread crumbing’ can be analyzed for further route improvements and the determination of performance metrics. An additional benefit is the ability to track your assets inside or outside a specific geography. Known as geo-fencing, companies can now create virtual boundaries of where assets can and more importantly, can not go.
GPS Navigation Key Benefits include:
• Minimize inefficient routes
• Increase calls per day
• Reduce fuel consumption and vehicle wear & tear
• Decrease overtime requirements
• Track assets
• Identify personal activities
• Control driving behavior while improving safety
• Improve customer service
How have your employees performance been impacted the most by the use of a GPS Navigation system
By introducing GPS enabled ruggedized devices in typical mobile applications like Route Accounting, Field Service and Transportation, companies can greatly reduce its direct and indirect costs. So, a company will be able to shorten its return on investment to a few months while minimizing its overall liability.
