Many buyers that are looking to purchase a tracking system for their business are seeking a solution to purely monitor the movements of their staff. Whist vehicle tracking systems are able to offer customers a wide range of features such as monitoring speeding and idling, these do not always appeal to all buyers.
For companies that are seeking a tracking system to allow them to monitor the movements of their vehicles they are most likely seeking a lower cost GPS tracking system. However, it is still essential to ensure that the tracking system provides the following.
Live mapping plots the real time locations of vehicles against a map within the application. The map allows users to zoom in (as far as street level) and out, to view just one vehicle or the entire fleet on one screen. A Satellite Overlay is included with many tracking systems now and allows a user to view their vehicle locations against a satellite photo to further identify a vehicles location.
Historic reports allow users to look back over a vehicles movements or performance. Users can select a date range to view and see how many journeys a vehicle has made, how many miles it has driven and what times an employee has started and finished their day.
