How GPS Tracking Benefits Cement and Concrete Contractor Companies
25 May 2016GPS fleet tracking offers many potential benefits to concrete contractors – perhaps a few you may not know about. If you’re looking for ways to improve your bottom line, consider these benefits of GPS fleet tracking as a great start for your concrete business.
Improves Record Keeping
If you’re like many concrete contractors one of the biggest pains in your day is chasing down drivers for documents, like signed invoices. GPS fleet tracking is customizable to a large degree so that drivers can collect signatures and instantly send them to you via tablet device so there is no more chasing involved.
Increases Work Speed
You can use the GPS fleet tracking tool to help route your drivers to the next job more efficiently. That saves time to and between jobs. Additionally, you can establish geographic boundaries that let you know immediately when drivers stray from their designated routes to take care of personal business on company time. This will help avoid wasted time between jobs greatly improving efficiency among your employees.
Helps You Deal with Emergencies More Effectively
When concrete emergencies, truck breakdowns, etc. arise, you can quickly and easily located each truck and its current location in order to determine which truck can provide the fastest response. Knowing where your trucks and drivers are at all times allows you to manage your team more effectively and eliminates the need to second guess all the time or call every member of the team to find out where they are.
Allows You to Stay on Top of Weather and Traffic
In the world of cement and concrete rain can do a great deal of damage. Without weather tracking it could end up leaving you to waste time and resources pouring concrete that will need to be replaced. Weather tracking, though, allows you to see weather systems on the radar so you know when projects may need to be postponed.
Traffic notifications help route drivers around significant traffic delays, crashes, and even things like trees in the road so they can arrive to their destinations on time – every time.
Improves Driver Safety
One of the biggest benefits GPS fleet tracking brings to the table involves driver safety. Concrete and cement trucks are big and bulky and can be dangerous when accidents occur. GPS fleet tracking can be set up to notify you by text message or email when drivers exceed a certain speed, drive erratically, or drive aggressively. This improves overall driver safety and decreases the risks of accidents.
GPS tracking offers a wealth of benefits related to operational costs, reducing overtime, and increasing efficiency all around. The only question left to ask is why aren’t you using it in your cement or concrete contracting company yet?
