If you have been thinking about adding GPS Fleet Tracking to your organization, sooner or later you are going to have to justify the cost. Installing a GPS Fleet Tracking system costs money, so what are you going to get back as a return on your investment? Good question. For starters, you get peace of mind knowing where your vehicles are and where they have been 24/7. There are also a lot of real operational efficiencies and productivity gains involved. For example, a lot of bad behaviors simply go away the minute that the added layer of GPS supervision goes live. But how do we estimate the monetary value of GPS Tracking? The cost-to-benefit analysis will vary depending on the details of your particular business. Here are a few of the key parameters that can drive a solid return on your investment:

• Fleet Size: How many vehicles are in your organization?
• Vehicle Type: Sedans, Pickup Trucks, and Long-haul Trucks all have different operational costs.
• Employees: How many employees do you have in each vehicle, and what is their hourly rate?
• Excess Mileage: How many miles a week do you think each vehicle is being driven unnecessarily?
• Wasted Time: How many hours a week do you think your field staff is goofing off?
• Engine Idle Hours: How many hours a week is the vehicle’s engine being left running without need?
• Insurance Savings: Does your insurance company provide a discount for fleet monitoring?

Using just a handful of parameters like these, you can quickly see the savings opportunities a professional-grade GPS fleet tracking system can provide. Want to see for yourself?  Feel free to schedule a free consultation with me and I’ll be happy to help!
