Gps fleet tracking

Fleet tracking is a management system that uses GPS to monitor the activity of tracked assets (vehicles, workers, equipment). It is often referred to as vehicle tracking or AVL. The fleet is generally a collection of land-based assets such as cars, trucks, field workers and equipment (powered and unpowered e.g. trailers). Fleet tracking uses telematics technology to collect data from a fleet of assets. This data is normally collected in near real time (actively) so it is more useful for fleet managers, who use the data to make strategic decisions about operations (which vehicle should I dispatch to a new job, where is the nearest crane, how many generators do we have in the yard, has my lone worker returned from the jobsite etc).

There are lots of GPS tracking providers who only sell one thing. It means if you need something else for your fleet – ELD, route planning, dispatch, work order management – then you need to go through the whole selection process again and deal with another supplier. And then if you want these different solutions to talk to each other, that's a whole other conversation. Verizon Connect is one of the few providers that can provide you with a full end-to-end platform solution that covers your mobile resource management needs now, and into the future.

We supply standard GPS tracking units that are wired directly into the tracked asset, allowing the device to be hidden to help prevent tampering, as well as being compatible with vehicles or equipment that don't have an OBD port.

Just install a small GPS tracking device on your powered or non-powered assets to quickly locate them and get better visibility into your valuable equipment. With asset information, you can track engine hours and status, off-road mileage for IFTA reporting, power takeoff (PTO), idle time, fuel consumption and maintenance.

Similar to vehicle tracking, an asset tracking system is designed to help you streamline managing and monitoring your powered and non-powered equipment with near real-time asset data. You can easily locate your physical assets, like trailers, heavy equipment and more, on a live map alongside your vehicles.

In most cases it depends on the reasons why you want to use it, and how you explain it to them. If you want to use it to improve the efficiency, security and safety of your business, and help mobile workers to get more done, with less paperwork and phone calls, then most employees will understand that. They'll also appreciate you're making an effort to keep the business profitable and improving their job security. If they think it's been done because you don't trust them then they may not be as welcoming.

The best asset management solutions tracks both powered and non-powered assets, provides an easy-to-use, intuitive platform with mobile apps and integrates asset data with your existing technology, like vehicle tracking, billing and maintenance systems. They provide additional features and functionality, such as a long battery life, a configurable ping rate that you can change yourself and reporting for location, geofencing and movement plotting. Lastly, look for a provider who is reliable, accommodating, trusted in the industry and will support an asset's entire lifecycle.
