How a car tracker can benefit small businesses
A car tracking system is varied and extensive in the options it offers. Smaller businesses may not want an expensive all-inclusive system that provides a wide range of options and extras. Instead, simple car tracking arrangements allow only the basics of the technology, are often more than sufficient for smaller organizations, and can offer many of the same benefits of larger systems. Low cost, easy to install and offers an almost immediate return in terms of optimizing your business. There really is no excuse not to employ one of the available tracking options.
Here are just a few of the amazing systems available and the range of benefits on offer for smaller organizations looking to use fleet or car tracking:
- Transportation companies of all sizes have long employed car tracking systems to improve, simplify, and secure a host of routing, cargo, and driver-related issues. They can be remotely operated and controlled by a dispatch operator who can manage everything from the onboard hydraulics to the temperature controlled units. These systems also perform a number of standard functions, reporting the driver’s whereabouts, vehicle speed and travel time. While these systems can be expensive if you are only equipping one or two vehicles, they are a great investment. However, there are a range of cheaper options available.
- Black box technology is much cheaper and probably the best option for smaller companies looking to equip just a handful of vehicles. These battery powered systems are inexpensive and can be installed relatively easily. They provide a variety of trip and driver related information that is stored and can then be downloaded to a hard drive at the end of the day. These car tracking systems are battery powered and have a long and reliable charge. Probably the perfect choice for a small business needs.
- Both tracking options have a variety of positive and negative attributes. The increased functionality of the remote system allows for more control over the delivery process, but comes at an additional cost. However, the increased management capabilities it offers are a hugely attractive feature. Alternatively, black box systems offer a good range of features and are attractively priced for small businesses on a tighter budget. Either way, any contemporary transportation or fleet linking company would be greatly lost if they did not incorporate one of these excellent car tracking systems.
