Benefits of using Trackmaster™ for your business

Your business is whole lot better using TRACKMASTER™ vehicle and personal tracking equipment as it offers you incredible benefits of which the following are but a few:

Providing transparency to your working team's whereabouts – Time theft is one of the greatest costs to Ghanaian industries and therefore knowing where your mobile workforce is, what time they start and finish work, and effectively managing their breaks on the road can have a significant impact on your bottom line. While paying the same wages many companies have seen significant increases in productivity that coincides with the installation of TRACKMASTER™ vehicle tracking systems.

Assisting in the dispatch and allocation of new jobs to the nearest vehicles – If your business involves dealing with jobs that come in and go out during the day, or a courier service that picks up parcels or items, or a call-in taxi service that schedules pick ups or operates rapid response, then knowing where the nearest vehicle is, can save your business fuel and time and improve the efficiency of your service. Saving a litre is likely to pay for a day’s tracking service and saving time allows for an increase in productivity and reduction in wages.

Improvement in team efficiency – having visibility of your workforce allows you to allocate jobs more efficiently thereby, minimizing the risk of them being paid wages whilst not actively working on a job and invariably, providing an income for the business. Using a Trackmaster™ vehicle tracking system will help you see how much time your driver/worker is spending in transit versus on-site. If you’re an engineering company and you want your workers on-site for the greatest possible portion of the time it is the best option. If you are also a courier service provider and you want your drivers spending as little time on-site as possible with the largest amount of pick-ups and drop-offs it also offers you the best alternative of finding out what is happening within the business. A good tracking system will therefore allow you to measure what proportion of time people are spending driving versus stopping.

Control personal vehicle usage and eliminate moonlighting – many companies have a policy of allowing a moderate amount of personal usage of corporate vehicles outside work hours as long as it is not excessive. However, there are some drivers that misuse this policy and rather use these vehicles excessively, sometimes moonlighting and increasing your fuel, leasing and maintenance costs. The installing of a Trackmaster™ vehicle tracking system will allow you monitor the use of your vehicles anywhere once you are connected to the internet.

Confirm Expected Time of Arrival and offer enhanced customer service – a lot of the incoming and outgoing phone calls in an office are between you, your customer and your driver/worker trying to establish when they will arrive on-site. With the vehicle location at your finger tips you can answer the customers query within seconds, providing a superior customer service and saving yourself time and money on calls to your driver and then back to the customer.

Identifying and Rewarding Good workers - People that work hard don't like the idea of a slack colleague earning just as much as them while putting in less time and effort. It discourages your good workers from working hard. Using tracking evidence you can reward the teams that are working harder and to more likely to keep them motivated.

Improve your route planning – vehicle tracking can be used to analyze the routes taken by drivers and highlight areas of improvement. The main benefits of this are savings in fuel and time. With the price of fuel as high as it is, saving one litre a day allows for savings in operation costs and provides increases in profitability.

Improve your customer invoices and response to disputes – if a customer raises concerns about an invoice relating to time on-site you can provide evidence easily as to how long your vehicle was on their premises and how many miles, and how long it took to get there if you provide such services to customers. This can save you money in unnecessary credits and give your customer confidence that you are not overcharging them for the service rendered them. BE AWARE – this is a double-edged sword – if you are overcharging your customers, using this tool will get you into a spot of bother. 

Reducing the average speed of your vehicles - as an example, if you get your vehicles to slow down and stay within the speed limits, this relates directly into fuel consumption, maintenance and reduced accident risks and safety of your workers and could invariable save you up to 20% on your monthly running costs. The additional benefit of reducing speed is that your drivers may well keep their licenses for a while longer and you can reduce your insurance and other accident related liabilities. The eventual benefit is that servicing and maintenance costs will reduce and will be evident over time. It might even take a year for you to really see the difference on your bottom-line, but can only come if you drivers are driving fewer miles and at the legally approved speed limits.

Let employees take vehicles home at night - If an employee is paying GH¢100 a month to drive his vehicle to and from work, then, he can sell one of his cars if he can take the company vehicle to and from work with much assurance of safety. What this means is that the employee gets a GH¢100 a month savings and it will cost you GH¢0. We recommend you make this an option for current employees and a requirement for new employees. In exchange for saving the employee GH¢100 a month you should charge them a restricted user fee of about GH¢2 per week or even less if it is a bus which helps you offset your cost of fuel and the GPS system that gives them the confidence they need to take the vehicle provided home.
