Performance
Efficiency is the name of the game. Your managers know
how long it takes to make a delivery or perform a
service. GPS allows your team to monitor stop time so
they can determine if the employee is making the most
out of time with your customers. This ties into customer
cancellations, allowances, returned inventory and
sales.

GPS can help when employees are lost. By knowing the
location of the vehicle, a dispatcher can quickly assist
a lost driver. This helps the employee stay on schedule
and not have to work too quickly or run up overtime.

Driving Records
Contact your insurance carrier and request a discount
when you can show them your vehicles are now driving
slower, driving fewer miles and you are reducing the
risk of an accidents. If your insurance company will not
give you a reductions, shop around. There are insurance
companies that will once you can show an improvement.

Customer
Service
Market the fact that you are using GPS technology and
that you are committed to customer service. No more
telling customers "We'll be there between
8-5." This is not acceptable in today's market.
This will help close sales when all else is equal. You
only need one deal a year to cover the cost of the GPS
technology. If you run ads you might say something like:
"We use GPS technology to insure the quality and
timeliness of our service."
