1. Monitor Specific Activities with Geofence
The geofence feature enables you to monitor your vehicle’s activities within a specific area, such as entry and exit times, time spent inside the area (idle, travel, stop), distance travelled, maximum speed, and risky driving behaviour within the zone. With this information, the feature can be used, for example, to monitor your heavy equipment activity within a project site, or the entry and exit of your vehicles from company premises. Some companies also create geofences around toll gates to track toll expenses per trip.
In addition, geofence can also be used for delivery customers. You can create a geofence around the delivery area and set it so that your customers receive notifications via email or SMS when your vehicle enters the area. This helps speed up loading and unloading, as customers can prepare before your vehicle arrives.
2. Quickly Track Nearby Vehicles
If you need a vehicle to complete a task urgently, you won’t need much time to locate the vehicle closest to the destination. From a GPS tracker software, you can see the distance and how long it will take each of your vehicles to reach the destination. This allows you to immediately delegate the task to the nearest vehicle, making trips more efficient and ensuring tasks are completed faster.
3. Assess Drivers to Assist in Training and Commission Considerations
Not only does GPS tracker software monitor risky driving behaviour (speeding, harsh acceleration, harsh braking, and sharp cornering), it can also evaluate drivers. Through the Driver Score Report, you can identify drivers who operate safely and review the risky driving behaviours they most frequently exhibit. This report can be used to help design targeted training so that drivers become more productive. In addition, the Driver Score Report also helps you consider awarding commissions to drivers with the best scores.
4. Measuring Vehicle Utilisation
Manually, you may be able to determine whether your vehicles are being used evenly or not. However, with a GPS vehicle tracker, you gain much deeper insights with accurate data. Cartrack GPS Tracker software enables you to view this information quickly through the Dashboard menu. You can see idling duration, total operating hours, and the usage percentage of each vehicle over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 120 days, and up to 1 year. You can easily compare this data through the displayed charts and then reassign each vehicle accordingly.
5. Increase Vehicle Asset Protection
There are several ways you can secure your vehicles against theft, one of which is combining a driver ID tag with an immobiliser. Your driver must tap the driver identification magnetic key on the sensor before they can start the vehicle using the main key. If the driver does not authorise using the driver ID tag, the vehicle cannot be started even with the main key.
In addition, you are likely already familiar with the remote immobiliser feature, where you can shut down the vehicle from your mobile phone when theft is detected. Furthermore, you can request a customised installation of the GPS tracker with an immobiliser, so that if the GPS tracker is removed from the dashboard (or wherever it is installed), the vehicle engine will immediately be unable to start.
6. Calculating Vehicle Operating Costs
The flexibility of GPS tracker software allows for cross-departmental functionality. Cartrack GPS Tracker software, for example, through the Mi-Fleet feature, can assist your finance department in calculating vehicle operating costs. With accurate data from the GPS tracker, such as mileage and fuel consumption, Mi-Fleet can calculate vehicle operating costs per trip and per kilometre. You can also manage other expenses such as accessories and spare parts, fines, insurance, and servicing, and then receive monthly vehicle expenditure reports. This automated cost reporting function helps your finance department work more efficiently with more accurate data.
These six functions can be found in the Cartrack Fleet Management System. More than just a GPS tracker, Cartrack helps you maximise your company’s fleet management with a wide range of integrated features and functions.
