Choose appropriate GPS Tracker to Maximize the Business Efficiency?
Employers often struggle with maintaining business efficiency, especially when large numbers of employees work off site, make service calls and deliveries, or transport company assets from place to place; this is one of the many reasons why employers may choose to monitor the movements of their workers. There are a variety of ways employers can use GPS tracking systems and features like geofences to help devise better time and route management for their employees, resulting in a more efficient workforce.
The first step to take when you want to begin monitoring employee movement is to select a GPS tracking system for your fleet vehicles.
Some popular options include:
- VoV D10 GPS Vehicle Tracker which can be plugged into the OBD-II port under the dash
- VoV H10 GPS Vehicle Tracker which is hardwired to the vehicle so it cannot be easily removed
- VoV X10 GPS Tracker which is a portable GPS tracker that can be used in a variety of applications
Boundary Geofence Around Larger Geographic Areas
A simple way to monitor your employees’ movements is to set up a large, boundary geofence around each employee’s designated work area. While the tracking platform will always allow you to monitor individual movements, whether they take place inside or outside of the geofence, having a boundary geofence can be useful for keeping track of certain behaviors. For example, if your employee exits their work area, you can set up a notification that lets you know right away, allowing you to log on and watch their actions in real time. This will help you determine if your employee is simply rerouting for traffic or if they’re making unauthorized stops on business time.
Using GPS Tracking Data for Maximizing Efficiency
GPS Tracking Data for Maximizing Efficiency
This level of location
management is far more effective than simply seeing your employees’ locations. With alerts and timestamps, you’re able to create complete snapshots of each employee’s work day. Having this data gives you greater insight into where your employees are spending the most time. Once you have this snapshot, you’ll be able to dig deeper into the reasons for inefficiencies and establish better systems.
For example, you may discover that one employee frequently arrives late to his or her first stop or takes an unexpectedly long time to get from one job to another. Disciplining an employee without understanding their situation may not help resolve the issue, but having detailed location data will allow you to examine the situation more closely. Utilizing a GPS personal tracking system may help you determine that the designated route for that employee follows a school bus route or a road that is notoriously slow during rush hour. Creating a more efficient work environment starts with understanding the specific challenges employees are facing.
