GPS Devices to Track Employee Activities

It’s a common practice for state, municipal and private fleets alike. Whether you operate a government agency or a business, time is money. Misuse of company vehicles cannot be tolerated.

What You Can Do

So how do you hold your employees accountable? As we mentioned above, GPS vehicle tracking is becoming more common at a commercial and state level. Satellite tracking allows a company to observe the precise position of a company vehicle, often in real-time. If a vehicle deviates from its assigned route, you know right away.

The Value of Discrete Tracking

If you want an accurate picture of how your vehicles are being used, a strong argument exists for being discrete with your GPS tracking device. If employees know they are being tracked, they can take steps to cover their tracks or make excuses for questionable driving patterns. This does little to solve the problem of misuse of company time.

By being discrete, you can be more candid about your monitoring. You can identify actual trends and act accordingly.

Vehicle Tracking Devices

A business selecting GPS tracking devices has plenty of options from which to choose. The company might identify specific features it wants. Some devices track vehicle speed and direction of travel. This information could be useful if a vehicle must drive cautiously (a bus, for example), or if rush hour traffic is a factor in anticipated travel time.

Devices also vary by how often they send updates to online tracking software. If travel is long-distance, frequent updates might not be as important as they would be for inner-city delivery or service vehicles. Likewise, how the device is tracked (satellite versus cellular) could be determined by the availability of cellular service in a specific area.
