To what extent can you trust drivers of company cars without GPS control?

We will list some of the things that you can’t know for sure without GPS tracking devices in company vehicles.

Where are the company cars right now?

In seconds you can get information about where the company car is right now with GPS tracking devices. Two clicks of the mouse and you see the current location of the car on a geographic map, in real-time, without having to call the driver’s phone.

Have the specified locations been visited by the vehicle?

Suppose you have a question about whether the vehicle has visited a specific customer location, address, or multiple locations. In that case, you can get the answer in seconds when you have GPS tracking devices in your vehicles. All you have to do is: select the location or locations and the period for which you want to check. The GPS control system will do the rest. See the result you will get from VEM Technology SmartTracker for a visit to a customer or other location by your vehicle.

Are cars used for personal purposes?

The answer to the question of whether cars are used for personal purposes in addition to business is of key importance because every kilometer of a company car costs money. It is not uncommon for cases to occur where, after installing GPS tracking devices, it becomes clear that the cars are used to charge other people’s objects or to work on personal objects, for unregulated personal tasks, and whatnot.

If you want to know for sure whether the car is used for personal purposes, you can trust GPS tracking systems, which will objectively show the route of the car, the location, and the duration of the stops.

Do drivers of company cars exceed the speed limit?

There is no way to know whether the car is exceeding the speed limit or not without GPS tracking devices, except the driver’s fine slips. If you want to stop bad speeding practices, you can install GPS tracking devices in cars, and set speed limits for specific types of roads – urban, rural, and highway. Of course, this will not stop the driver from speeding immediately, but if you impose administrative penalties for speeding, the result will be available soon.

What is the vehicle downtime?

How long do cars spend at your customers’ locations? How long is the lunch break, mid-day, and mid-week break? When do company cars leave for work in the morning, and when do they return home? You will have irrefutable proof of the duration of downtime with a GPS tracking system that automatically records all downtimes, their locations, and their duration.
