A GPS Fleet Management System Brings Big Benefits,
Not Big Brother
Focus on benefits when introducing a GPS fleet management system to your workforce.

Improving a business' bottom line is the top reason that any company invests in a GPS fleet management solution.

Every business, whatever its size or income, wants to find cost-effective ways to increase its efficiency, productivity and profits. But even with this postive motivation, some businesses are afraid that their employees will view the purchase of a GPS system as an invasion of their privacy or a punitive measure against them. Explaining the benefits of your GPS fleet managment system to your workforce can put these fears to rest.

Big Benefits, Not Big Brother
The introduction of your GPS system should be done from a positive perspective of trust and company-wide benefits; with a special emphasis on how it will make your employees' jobs easier and the company more successful. FleetBoss' 4,000 plus clients have discovered that a focus on benefits often results in enthusiatic support from the majority of their drivers and technicians.

Below are many of the reported employee benefits that have helped a workforce embrace the use of a GPS fleet managment solution:

• Higher Customer Retention:
  For service drivers that work on commission, retaining customers is of high importance. In many cases, the detailed reports a GPS system provides on service stops leads to higher customer loyalty. Customers often stick with a company or technician that shows proof of service completion.
  
  

• Protection Against False Claims:
  A GPS system provides irrefutable data about driver speeds and vehicle locations, providing employees with protection against false accident claims and reports of late arrival or failure to perform service.

• Service Time Tracking:
  A GPS system provides electronic verification of service time, giving drivers an objective back-up in case of customer challenges.
  
  
• Hands-free Mileage Log:
  A GPS system provides employees with the convenience and time savings of an accurate, hands-free mileage log.
  
  
• Take-Home Vehicle Option:
  By having the ability to monitor evening and weekend vehicle use, companies can save employees valuable personal time by allowing them to use fleet vehicles after-hours.
  
  
• Increased Company Profits:
  Increased savings and company profits can translate into better 401(k) plans, bonuses for employees, better maintenance programs for driver safety and more.
  
  
• Recognition of Excellence:
  A GPS system measures excellent employee performance that might have gone overlooked by the company in the past. Outstanding performance is clearly evident to management as they examine their GPS system's automatic reports and easy-to-read graphs. Recognition of such excellence encourages morale and can take the form of public awards and/or bonuses or paid time off.

Company success is generated by a GPS fleet management system from FleetBoss. That success translates into personal success for a company's employees.
