useful tool to improve transport (adv)

The Netherlands is a real trading country. We are small, but relatively rich in this world. This is mainly due to our excellent position in the world. We can reach many countries very quickly from our country, have a fantastic infrastructure and of course a great port. This has made us very big very quickly.

Benefits of Vehicle Tracking Systems

Today’s companies often still live according to this principle. Many companies mainly consist of transporting products at home and abroad. When this takes up such a large part of the company, it is important that extra resources are used for this. Technical highlights such as vehicle tracking systems can make all the difference.

But why should you choose an innovative vehicle tracking system?

Previously, communication with vehicles within the fleet was usually done directly. By telephone or a special box with which quick messages could be sent. However, this turned out to be less effective. As a result, rides were sometimes classified rather illogically, resulting in far too much driving up and down and fuel consumption. There was also less visibility of the area where the drivers were. As a result, malfunctions could not be detected so quickly.

With a vehicle tracking system, these problems are now a thing of the past. The fleet manager always sees where all vehicles and goods are located. This enables them to provide customers with a clear time schedule and at the same time to put together much more efficient routes. This can save both time and money.

Another big advantage is that you can also assess the driver’s driving style via the tracking system. For example, you can clearly see which drivers use the most fuel. This can have several causes. In this way you can see which drivers can possibly be addressed about their driving style and where there are still opportunities for savings. This way you are able to optimize your fleet according to your wishes.

Technology goes hand in hand with transport

A lot has changed in the world of transport in recent years. Nowadays there is much more technology involved. For example, Webfleet clearly sees the number of customers increasing. Not only for the mandatory equipment (think of a tachograph), but also for, among other things, vehicle tracking systems to optimize their fleet. This shows how important technology has become for the transport world.

Not more than logical really. Certainly not if the fleet grows enormously. After all, it is difficult to monitor vehicles from a distance, save on costs and assess which routes are the best choice. Especially when you don’t have a clear view of the location of the vehicles. It also takes way too much time to figure this out via the spoken word. Handy technical gadgets such as a tracking system are very useful to work adequately and to further optimize a company.
