How GPS Tracking Simplifies Operations Across Industries

GPS Tracking Software

 

No matter what the industry is, technology has optimised the functioning of every sector. GPS Tracking is one such technology that has accelerated the growth of various domains. 

As we always keep repeating, GPS tracking comes in handy for so many more purposes than just tracking location. 

Let’s track the role of Telematics solutions in various industries and how it’s adding value to the existing model.  

1. Logistics and Fleets

The logistics sector has made the maximum use of this technology to optimise its operations. From a small fleet owner to logistics giants, everybody has discovered Vehicle Tracking Software’s potential. 

It has proved useful in Fuel Monitoring, Live Tracking, Trip Management, Last Mile Delivery, Tyre pressure management, Driver Behaviour Monitoring and what not.

2. Employee Management

Gone are the days when managing the field task force was a battle. Today, it seems impossible for an individual to manage everything manually, from maintaining a record of employee’s attendance, assigning tasks, teammates, client location to monitoring their progress, performance and taking daily updates. 

Automation has taken off the load from the managers and improved their and their team’s efficiency. Now everything is manageable over the phone. You receive updates via alerts.  Attendance, reporting, assigning of tasks and so much more happens with a few clicks in a matter of minutes.

3. Railways

A lot goes into the flawless and non-stop functioning of Railways across the world. Millions of gang men and keymen patrol along the railway tracks to monitor and service the line. 

With GPS Tracking coming in handy, it becomes so much convenient to monitor and coordinate with multiple men at different locations busy with different tasks. It becomes easier to track their route, work status, whether or not they visited the assigned spot and also ensuring their safety. 

4. Asset Tracking

When a consignment worth a billion dollars travels across the borders, it becomes imperative to track its whereabouts and ensure on-time delivery. Now, GPS Tracking has made it possible to fetch the real-time location of the assets while they are on the move. 

Unlike vehicle tracking device, asset trackers do not require wire connection. They are portable and wireless that makes them so favourable to use as consignments are moved from one vehicle to another in order to reach the destination. 

5. School Bus Tracking

Child’s safety is an imperative issue not only for parents but also for school authorities. GPS Tracking software ensures the safety of school students while they are on their way to school/home. It enables parents and school management to track the real-time location of the student, the driving behaviour of the driver on duty and the route assigned/followed by him. 

These are some of the most basic features that the School Bus Tracking System would have. The features such as bus attendance, choose/change the dropping location, alerts, etc. are some more features that may be added. 

6. Public Services Sector

Like we said earlier, use cases of GPS Tracking software are many. The government is incorporating Telematics in the public services sector- from managing waste collection to ambulance locating/tracking, simplifying police patrolling and much more. It has not only made analysis and management easy but also simplified the data collection and storage process. Cloud has replaced repositories.
