Submitted by: Muthukumar Veluswamy

Vehicle Tracking has become one of the important parts of today’s competitive transportation industry. This article illustrates a few instances of fleet owner s problems and the likely solutions by using a GPS based Vehicle tracking system.

A Tourist bus owner having one Tourist Bus has a necessity to make sure he gets his rental and running fee along with ability to save fuel. Installing a GPS Vehicle tracking device like the one from Vazhikatti makes sure he instantly knows where and when the vehicle goes and he charges the hirers accordingly.

A small illustration will help understand this. – Some tourists from town X hires a bus for a two day fixed fee trip to Y. – The Bus owner charges then $200 per day based on the fact that the tourists will go to the location Y and for sightseeing and return next day evening. – The tourists after spending a few hours in Y change their mind and want to go to town Z (which is around 40 miles from Y) and inform the driver that they are ready to spend a $400 for the extra trip they want to take – The information is not passed on to the owner, the driver agrees for the extra trip and refuels the vehicle with additional 50 liters of diesel and starts moving. – If the bus has a GPS Vehicle Tracking System installed on it, the owner can keep getting hourly SMSes. He can also check the route taken by the bus on the websites. – The owner knows very clearly that the extra trip is made and is able to retrieve the extra payment if a GPS tracking system is installed.

Now let us consider a Fleet Owner with 28 vehicles: A fleet owner who uses 28 vehicles for supply and procurement of industrial gas has a necessity to make sure the customers are supplied on time along with procurements reaching on time along with the ability to save cost on fuel and optimizing his fleet. A better usage of his fleet can result in reducing the capital expenditure and put some money on his hands enabling him to improve his business.

A small illustration – The current business needs at least 50 trips to/from the customer and supplier locations – This set of vehicles without a GPS Tracking device, will always play catch-up to the schedule requirements – Some times these vehicles will make only 45 trips a day and the owner will want to buy a new vehicle

Now, if he has a GPS Tracking system installed in his fleet – He will be able to do more trips in a day by better managing the fleets – This will help him in improving the business results and after 3 months they will be able to reduce the number of trucks. – The net result of this was a capital savings on the truck and a net profit increase.

In short a GPS Tracking system can add to the security, cost and optimization benefits to all businesses who have a fleet or their own transport.
