Here's a story one of our customers told us recently.
This business owner suspected that his employees were using company vehicles at odd times, and worse yet, clocking more hours than they were working. Like most business owners, he was often out of the office dealing with customers and suppliers. He needed to verify his suspicions. Time wasted by his drivers was no different than money stolen from his business.
So what did he do? One weekend he installed GPS tracking units on his vehicles without telling his drivers. He was out of town again on Monday and Tuesday, but guess what he discovered when he looked at his tracking reports on Wednesday?
On the days he was out of the office each of his service trucks returned to the office no later than 3:30 PM, but the drivers didn't clock out until 5:00 PM! This sent 1 ½ hours of billable time straight down the drain for two different crews. GPS tracking saved 6 hours in payroll in the first two days of tracking. Now that's a good R.O.I!
But wait, it gets better. His GPS tracking reports showed that one driver took a truck at 6:00 PM on Monday evening and drove 34 miles round-trip -- to move his buddy's vending machines!
Needless to say, this business owners small investment in GPS tracking payed for itself within days. As an owner, you only have one set of eyes. You’d like to trust all of your drivers, but reality keeps getting in the way. GPS tracking will give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing what's happening with your vehicles instead of guessing. And this knowledge can add up to a lot of money in a hurry.
