    Not only does it allow a fleet manager to identify and locate all vehicles on the system - it also supplies vital additional information that can make an important contribution to the overall efficiency of the business. Vehicle tracking systems supply information about unofficial out of hours usage, calculate average speed of vehicles and can act as a locator beacon in the event of an emergency (particularly important if the fieldworkers are operating in remote locations). GPS devices also act as a security measure. If a vehicle is stolen, a fitted GPS tracking system will enable the fleet manager to locate it immediately, notifying police and ensuring that the vehicle is recovered as quickly as possible. Because of their use in this aspect, GPS tracking systems can also help to reduce the overall insurance costs of a fleet and so save the company money in the long run.

    Another major advantage of paid-for vehicle tracking systems is the after-care and systems support that it brings with it. Updates and both hardware and software are covered by a warranty, which means that the system is always operating at maximum efficiency and running costs can be kept to a minimum. With free systems, updates are much more generic in nature and less frequent. Although the mapping functions may be updated regularly these are still only designed for general use and rarely have additional features attached that are business-specific in nature.

    For fleet management and business use, a paid vehicle tracking system is a worthwhile investment. By carefully selecting a supplier that can provide you with a custom-made system which suits your business needs, the initial investment can actually turn into a business asset that will save your company money over time.

    GPS, or Global Positioning Satellite, tracking has been around for years now. Your conception, therefore, of a vehicle tracking system is probably a little outmoded. You probably think that a vehicle tracking system can just tell you where a tracked vehicle is at any moment in time. Possibly, then you can determine its speed by taking average location readings over a period of time.

    Well, yes, in one sense and no in many others. The modern GPS tracking system is well capable of telling you where your vehicle is - and it is also able to tell you how fast it is going. On top of that, though, it can tell you in what direction it is travelling, how much fuel it is using, how fast exactly it is going at any given point of time, how much oil it is using: basically anything at all. The modern vehicle tracking system can tell you so much about the vehicle you are tracking that you might as well actually be in it, or looking under its bonnet.

    The way all this works is a lot simpler than you might have thought. Sensory information is simply relayed up to the tracking control centre along with positioning information: so you end up using the data stream that tells you where your vehicle is, to piggyback in a load of information on how it is, and where it is going. The results, for fleet managers and companies all over the United Kingdom, are sensational. Vehicle Tracker
