A question that we get asked often at Argus Tracking is ‘What can a GPS Tracking & Fleet Management System actually do?’. Our prospective clients understand that these products can be used to track and monitor assets, however, they are unaware of the other significant benefits and features GPS Tracking & Fleet Management Systems have to offer.
The Benefits of a Tracking & Fleet Management System
There is an abundance of benefits that businesses can experience when they integrate GPS Tracking & Fleet Management solutions into their fleets, the 4 main ones to take note of are:
Health & Safety - One of (if not) the most important benefits of any superior Tracking & Fleet Management System is its ability to help mitigate Health & Safety risks in line with the Health & Safety Act. Additional hardware and tools such as Panic Buttons, Rollover Sensors, and Fleet Behaviour & Safety Benchmarking will not only assist with making your mobile workplace a safer environment, but they will also give you and your team peace of mind while they’re out on the road.
Compliance - Managing compliance for your fleet can often be a difficult and time-consuming process. Luckily, there are systems that have various easy-to-use features like NZTA Sync, Smart Renew and Check Sheets that’ll simplify your compliance processes and give you more time to focus on what’s important - your business.
Asset Utilisation & Efficiency - Tracking & Fleet Management companies like Argus can provide you with the tools needed to monitor and maintain the utilisation and efficiency of your fleet. These handy tools often include Utilisation Reporting, Geo-fencing, and Integrations, and they’re designed to ensure your assets are running as efficiently as possible.
Sustainability - Ensuring that your business is sustainable can be tough to manage which is why there are features and integrations like CO2 Reporting, Fuel Watch, Running Costs, and GPS Linked Poolbooking that can help optimise your fleet and reduce your business’s impact on the environment.
Points to Consider Throughout the Tracking & Fleet Management Process
Advanced Asset Tracking & Fleet Management technology can unlock a world of endless possibilities for your business, however, it is easy to get trapped into one of the following ‘pitfalls’ when shopping for and implementing this type of system.
Not understanding what you need - Tracking & Fleet Management systems are designed to unlock new levels of efficiency and oversight for your business, so it’s essential to understand what you want and need from this technology before signing up for a solution. Here at Argus Tracking, we can tailor our solutions to suit your requirements.
Staying focused on Tracking & Monitoring - True Fleet Management goes above and beyond knowing where your assets are at all times. Be sure to utilise the entire range of tools that your system provides to optimise all areas of your fleet including Driver Behaviour, Asset Compliance & Maintenance.
Handy Tip: As you shop around for a solution, make sure you have a full understanding of everything that falls under the Tracking & Fleet Management umbrella - this will help you find a solution that offers what you want and need at the best price.
Not prioritising staff training - There’s nothing worse than finding the perfect solution and your team not knowing how to use it. To prevent any issues from arising, it is important to ensure that the entire team is trained on how to use your new software. Our software has an intuitive modern interface that comes with omnichannel customer support whenever it’s needed.
