Save Over £200 Per Vehicle Per Month With Integrated Sat Nav

Although a relatively new development tracking systems with Integrated Sat Nav are creating a big stir in the tracking industry. Integrated systems seamlessly combine the latest fleet tracking systems with Sat Nav routing, live traffic information and 2 way driver messaging to manage and optimize fleet movements better than ever before.

First introduced by TomTom WORK in 2006, Integrated Sat Nav has been a big success and in just a few years the technology has evolved greatly with several tracking providers now offering integrated solutions giving potential buyers a wide choice of systems.

But at up to double the price of a standard tracking system do they make sense financially?

Why Consider Integrated Sat Nav?

Tracking solutions with Integrated Sat Nav are all about being more efficient. They help a fleet save money and improve service by giving the business visibility of their operation, giving drivers optimal routes and helping them to avoid traffic and by allowing the office to communicate with the drivers much more efficiently.

Drivers that spend less time in traffic will spend less time on the road and use less fuel, this in turn means they can do more jobs per day. Based on these benefits alone an average fleet of vans fitted with a tracking system with Integrated Sat Nav could realize savings of over £200 per vehicle per month.

A typical fleet will see cost reductions in 4 key areas…

• Reduced Communications Costs:  40%
• Less Driving Distance:  11%
• Fewer Driving Hours:  18%
• Reduced Fuel Usage:  15%
  
• Up to 10% Increase In Productivity
  
  The same fleet using a tracking system with Integrated Sat Nav will also benefit from productivity increases of an average of 10%, some companies report increases in productivity of up to 80%! Less time spent driving and in traffic, better time management and improved communication all help to reduce time spent on the road and increase the number of jobs completed each day.Source: TomTom, Vodafone, Navteq, Frost&Sullivan
