Different businesses have different needs – you may require custom budget considerations, manage different number of vehicles in different time zones and have diverse requirements from your fleet. Employing modern vehicle tracking systems can always make things simpler and efficient, and there are a number of choices available with custom features that can fit in every budget.

Top Benefits of Investing in Vehicle Trackers

It may seem like a big investment at first, but having vehicle trackers with web hosted tracking software actually reduces operation costs and enhances fleet performance and fuel usage. Simple, easy to use and comprehensive vehicle tracking systems make work processes and management all the more efficient and less time consuming.

Value Added Features of Vehicle Trackers

At Vehicle Tracking Tech, we offer comprehensive solutions to our clients, custom designed to cater to their unique needs. With advanced vehicle tracking and fleet management systems, business owners can track more than just fuel, mileage and driver performance.

Track vehicles and drivers in real time

Not only can you track the position of the vehicle using GPS, but you can also view real time events and monitor driver behaviour.

Use Dash Cams to View Driver Behaviour

Cameras on the dashboard record driver behaviour and report erratic behaviour to the fleet operator. They are sometimes part of the tracking systems, but extras can also be integrated for an added level of security. For example, Tracker Vision can add extra features to Tracker Fleet Plus by utilising the Garmin navigation unit. This dash cam will give you incident details via GPS and the tracking box will provide GPS location when you wire it to the input of the tracking box module.

Vehicle I

Vehicle tracking is not an expense – it is an investment that brings in value and returns for your fleet business in the long run.

As your fleet size grows with your business, the repair and maintenance requirements also increase, resulting in higher upkeep costs for the company. Sudden breakdowns and malfunctions can make you lose business and more importantly affect the reputation of your business in the market.

Vehicle Trackers to the Rescue!

For businesses whose fleet covers long travel routes constantly, having a comprehensive vehicle tracking system can be a lifesaver. With GPS tracking and online reporting, these devices can organise your maintenance schedule, keep track of vehicle condition, mileage and engine deterioration, and alert you to any repairs and upkeep needs.

They also:

• Let you plan routes and trips.
• Save on unnecessary mileage
• Improve fuel consumption.
• Track driver performance.
• Identify speeding and unsafe driving.
• Detect illegal driver behaviour.
• Offer compliance with industry standards of work hours, health and safety.
• Bring down payroll and admin costs.
• Ensure that you aren’t charged for unnecessary overtime.
• Give you access and total control over your entire fleet of vehicles regardless of their size and location.
• Provide carbon footprint tracking so that your business remains green and environment friendly.
• Reduce insurance premiums.
• Allow checking of diagnostic lights via computer dashboard (on certain tracking systems).
• Come with geofencing feature. For e.g., if there are certain areas that you don’t want drivers entering, you’ll receive warning alerts via email and also get app-based notifications when the vehicles move into that zone.
• Let you stay connected to the driver interface. Tracker vision products offer fleet control and two-way communication between your desktop

There are more than enough reasons to install a car tracker, especially if you are buying a new personal car or even for corporate employees. Some providers have a condition that approved car trackers need to be installed to qualify for insurance. Telematics devices installed in the vehicle allow it to be tracked via GPS, making them less likely to be stolen and thus are preferred by insurance providers.

Here are some reasons why you should install a car tracker and get reduction in your insurance premium:

Get Automatic Driver Recognition Advantage

When you go to an insurance company, the first thing they’ll do is calculate your premium based on the value of your vehicle.

Keyless vehicles (no key to insert in ignition barrel) like Audi, BMW, Landrover, Mercedes and Porsche are most likely to get stolen. Having an insurance approved tracker installed in these vehicles can result in lower premium, because of a technology called ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition). If ADR is enabled on your tracker, you’ll get a call if the vehicle is moved without your permission. This feature lets you track these cars and recover them quickly and accurately.

In Cat 5 tracking devices, there are some products in which even if the key is not present, they will not let you start the car. (Please call us before purchasing this product for more information).

Anti-Jamming Capabilities

Car trackers in UK these days are more than just primary defence for your vehicle. You can choose from a wide range of sophisticated car tracking systems like Tracker Locate and Tracker Monitor and that not only let you detect the position of your car in case it gets stolen, but are also configured for driver recognition, immune to jamming and able to provide 24 hour monitoring and remote sensing.
