The potential business benefits of GPS vehicle tracking span every sector and vehicle-type. For haulage fleets, the main advantages include improved asset management, enhanced customer service and more efficient load placing, more accurate timesheets and assisted compliance to Working Time Directive legislation.

For van fleets, GPS vehicle tracking can also improve efficiency in job planning and allocation, resulting in greater employee productivity. In some cases this can also help companies to meet service level agreements and key performance indicators.

The technology can make it easier to analyse driving time against chargeable time and engineers are able to work uninterrupted by service centre calls. Using GPS vehicle tracking can enhance the safety of those employees working alone and it can also serve as protection from claims of late or non-appearance on site.
