Fleet Tracking Benefits for HVAC Contractors
GPS fleet tracking systems are becoming more commonly used these days in the HVAC contracting business due to their significant benefits. Fleet tracking allows business owners to:
- Know the location of your vehicles
- Improve driver & public safety
- Optimize routing and dispatching
- Minimize wasted time
- Lower fuel costs up to 20% with fuel efficiency insights
- Track and simplify vehicle maintenance
- Improve productivity and customer service
- Monitor speed, driving safety, and idle time
When implementing fleet tracking, it is important to be honest and upfront with employees. Workers may have concerns about privacy, so you should implement transparent policies and procedures that set parameters for what is monitored, and when, in order to avoid unnecessary privacy infringement. Explain why you’ve chosen to use GPS tracking (they are operating an expensive company asset), how the system works, the data that will be collected, and benefits to both employer and employee.
GPS tracking systems have come way down in price and are suitable for fleets of all sizes. Costs vary depending on the size of your fleet and features needed. The devices can be purchased or rented, which vary in cost, and monthly subscriptions generally range between $20-$60 per vehicle.
