The first advantage of having a built-in tracking system in your truck is that you know exactly when each of your trucks needs to be serviced. You can set up notifications when your vehicle has driven a certain number of kilometres, for example, or when the last service was carried out several months ago. That way, you schedule each service in good time and reduce the risk of breakdowns along the way. And thanks to a track and trace system, you also reduce your maintenance and repair costs.
An on-board tracking and tracing system records everything your drivers do: how fast they drive, how often and how hard they brake and accelerate, how they turn... When you talk to them about their driving habits, you reduce their chances of being involved in an accident by 19 to 24%, you lower their fuel consumption by 6 to 8.5% and you encourage them to be more environmentally aware with their truck. And to make your routes as efficient as possible, based on the real-time info recorded by the track and trace system, you can always adjust their routes on your screen while they are on the road.
In addition, you also have a perfect view of their driving and resting times 24/7: where did they stop, how long do they stay, when do they leave again, and so on. To make it even easier, you can expand the tracking system in your truck with a digital tachograph. So you can download their driving times and rest periods remotely, wherever and whenever you want.
With a track & trace system in your truck, you are also ahead of thieves. You always know where your truck is. In the app or on your computer, you can immediately see which route the thief has taken and where your truck is at that moment, anywhere in the world. This way, you can send the police to the right location or have them warn their foreign colleagues.
To react even faster, you can also ask to be alerted. For example, if your truck deviates from a fixed route or leaves at a time when no route is planned.
Thanks to a tracking system, you have rock-solid data at your disposal: when was the order delivered to the customer, how many kilometres did your driver travel? So you have everything you need to make sure your invoicing is correct and to avoid discussions. And you always have evidence at hand with exact locations and times to respond to complaints, for example.
