A GPS tracking system can make your fleet more effective and efficient. GPS Insight suggests what to look for when buying a system.
Top 5 Criteria for Selecting a GPS Tracking System
- Highest Return on Investment: Applications that are highly configurable and that analyze the widest range of fleet metrics allow you to measure and manage fleet operations comprehensively, so you can determine how much the solution will reduce your fleet costs.
- Customer Service Quality: Ideally, the system includes access to an experienced support team that will walk you through installation, troubleshooting, software instruction, and training 24/7/365 and resolve problems on the first call. The support team should also be able to access your account and make any needed changes while on a call.
- Reporting Capabilities: Advanced reporting capabilities let you take advantage of the wealth of data that can be pulled from a GPS tracking device. Do the reports offered provide all of the information your company needs? If not, will the company create customized reports or combine data from multiple reports?
- Customization: Most applications include dashboards, maps, reports, and alerts. Applications that can be highly customized give you the information you need, as you need it, the way you want to see it.
- Integration: Your GPS fleet tracking solution should integrate with your accounting, ERP, mapping, dispatch, CRM, and other back office systems to exchange information. Find out what the solution provider will charge you for the integration.
