Who: Needs GPS Tracking? Literally, anyone who is in business and has one or more vehicles that they want to change from monthly expenses to profit centers. If you are concerned about ROI, you need tracking. If you’re not concerned with ROI, why are you in business? Savings and increased profits of $100 to $200 per vehicle are easily attainable.
What: Products are Available? Products range from battery-powered data loggers suitable for occasional use or temporary teen monitoring to full-scale satellite-based systems that can track a vehicle anywhere on earth. In the right circumstances all types of system can easily be cost justified. Most provide a n ROI in six months or less
When: Can Businesses Expect Savings? Time and time again, SatViz has seen businesses just like yours start saving from the first week of installation. Many businesses realized savings during our no obligation free trials. A local operations manager here in Colorado Springs (contact info available upon request) invested in a small pilot program 6 months ago. Since many users pay back their equipment cost in 6 months or less, I asked how his ROI was coming along. His answer? “Dave, it looks to me we have already saved more than three times our investment”!
Where: Should these Products be Used? GPS Tracking products are useful for any size vehicle, from a salesman’s car to class 8 over the road trucks. Be sure you purchase from someone who really knows their systems, though. Many don’t work very well out in the wide open spaces where we looked down upon “flyover” people live. There are no politics to GPS, though, they’ll serve Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians equally well
Why: Does GPS Tracking Save? A business saves with integrated GPS tracking in many ways. The Big Four are labor, fuel and service efficiency (as in serving more customers with the same fleet investment). If you’re tired of your driver labor costs, annoyed by your monthly fuel bill, frustrated by not being able to expand without more capital investment or crippled by your insurance costs, Just click
How: Can a Business Get Started Saving? There are thousands of useful systems on the market. You can shop and compare on your own. Make absolutely sure you deal with a company who knows their product and who will offer you a no-risk trial. There is no such thing in this business as a “one size fits all” solution. (Shameless Commercial Plug ) or, you can call Dave now on 1-800-306-1206. (Shameless Commercial Plug Off) Whatever you decide, decide on something. Gas is not getting any cheaper, minimum wage is going up, taxes … who knows but we have to pay for the Iraq war somehow and historically it’s businesses who have born a huge share … so make a decision today, not next week, to start measuring what you are supposed to be managing.
