This is exactly where a GPS Monitoring System like Hunter Track becomes important. It streamlines workflows and increases efficiency while cutting costs, all from a single platform that solves the problems they face every day and improves how they manage the fleet.
A Transportation Manager is responsible for managing and administering a company's vehicle fleet. To achieve this goal, they need to address the following areas:
These days it can be hard to find qualified, responsible drivers. That is why it is so important to give them the safety and well-being they need.
With the GPS Monitoring System, you can gather data on their driving habits, such as speed, harsh braking, and more. This makes it possible to correct those habits or improve their training.
The system also lets you support drivers so they stay safe on the road and receive every detail and change to their work orders, wherever they are. Without a doubt, all of this helps retain them and build their loyalty.
Data is essential to optimizing operating costs. With Hunter Track, you can collect data on miles driven and fuel consumed, all in real time.
You can also generate reports that provide a historical view and allow comparisons, so you can identify patterns and anomalies that negatively affect resource use.
To stay in top condition, a vehicle needs preventive maintenance on many of its parts and accessories. With GPS Monitoring, you can schedule maintenance dates based on the distance traveled or engine hours since the last service.
Better yet, you can also set alerts and notifications to make sure the information reaches you. This helps you avoid breakdowns and long periods of vehicle downtime.
The vehicle GPS Monitoring System lets you set up a series of automatic controls. This reduces the time spent on fleet administration so you can devote more time to planning and other tasks that add value to the business.
Some actions that can be automated include door-opening notifications, alerts for cargo temperature changes, or alerts for driver actions behind the wheel. With all this, you can stay alert and then take corrective action.
You can also monitor the fleet from your phone, because Hunter Track is available as an app for iOS and Android. From there, you can view charts and statistics, receive alerts, and send commands for different functions.
Many companies have already moved much of their operations to digital environments. Fortunately, Hunter Track is compatible with many of those programs. All it takes is an integration to share information and communicate with different software and platforms. Examples include CRM platforms, human resources management systems, technical evaluation tools, and more.
Hunter Track offers many features and accessories to adapt to any type of fleet and business. Some of them include the following:
In addition to the features above, the GPS offers other safety and efficiency features worth exploring.
