Pest control companies often have crews spread all over, making it a challenge to know where every truck is at any given moment. GPS tracking from Track Your Truck makes it possible for fleet managers to know where every crew is, how long jobs take, and whether schedules are being followed thanks to real-time information fed to a central dashboard.
With the NetTrack software platform and GPS tracking devices installed on service vehicles, pest control companies gain the ability to coordinate multiple appointments, respond to emergency calls, and manage their technicians no matter where they are. We’ve helped numerous service businesses manage their fleets for more than 25 years, so you can be sure we understand the unique challenges your pest control company faces.
NetTrack vehicle tracking shows you the live location of every vehicle in your fleet on a map, which is accessible from any computer or through a mobile app. You’ll never need to call in to your teams again — one glance at the map tells you the precise vehicle location for every technician. When emergency calls come in, you’ll be able to send the technicians closest to it and reroute them immediately, cutting down on response times and improving customer satisfaction. In addition, 125-day history reports give your fleet managers information about routes taken and time spent at each stop so they can optimize efficiency across the entire fleet.
With GPS tracking of pest control fleet vehicles, you can see inefficient routes, excessive time between stops, and technicians taking breaks longer than they should. This gives you the opportunity to restructure routes and fit in more appointments every day. With route histories saved in the platform, you can see exactly how long every service call takes to complete. This means you’ll be able to set realistic appointment windows and identify any technicians who may need additional training or coaching. Research has shown that GPS fleet management reduces labor expenses by up to 15% and overtime hours by up to 20% because it eliminates guesswork. Plans start at just $15.99 with options for free devices, which means you’ll see the impact of these efficiency gains to your bottom line ASAP.
Your crews represent your company every second they’re on the road, which means reckless driving can harm your reputation. With NetTrack, you can watch out for service vehicles that speed through quiet neighborhoods, brake harshly, take turns too sharply, and otherwise practice aggressive driving. Track Your Truck can monitor vehicle speed continuously, sending you automatic alerts whenever driver behavior exceeds predetermined limits. This gives you the chance to pull drivers aside and coach them before their driving becomes a liability for your company. This also has the potential to reduce your insurance premiums by up to 30%, depending on your provider.
Leaving vehicles idle with the engine running can cost your company far more than you know. The U.S. Department of Energy has advised that an idling vehicle consumes roughly 0.8 gallons per hour. NetTrack can track idle time and generate reports showing you which vehicles and drivers spend the most time standing still. This means you can reduce wasted fuel as well as unnecessary wear and tear on engines that can increase your maintenance costs. With our affordable monthly plans, your fuel savings may even exceed what you spend per month on GPS tracking through Track Your Truck.
Because many pest control appointments happen when homeowners are away, there can be disputes about whether work actually was performed. NetTrack’s GPS histories provide irrefutable proof of the exact times your vehicles arrived at and left the customer’s property. Because it also maintains 125-day histories, you can back up your invoices and protect your pest control business against claims of missed or shortened appointments. We also give you the ability to provide the most accurate ETAs for customers based on real-time location data. Integrating dash cameras with our GPS technology means you can have video documentation of arrival and service activities, as well.
Our GPS tracking means you won’t have to rely on technicians to fill out timesheets. This means there’s no chance of inflated drive times, extended lunches, and other behaviors that can lead to labor cost overruns. NetTrack records actual start times, stop durations, and end-of-day locations to give you objective data to compare against submitted timesheets. This gives you full documentation in the case of disputes. Our U.S.-based support team is ready to answer any questions you might have about our platform, with most calls answered and addressed within 10 minutes.
Your assets were a significant investment, and GPS tracking ensures you get the most out of them. Our automatic tampering alerts let you know the moment anyone tries to disable the tracking devices, and geofencing means you’ll know as soon as any vehicle is taken outside of its designated service area. In the event a vehicle is stolen, real-time vehicle location helps law enforcement recover it as quickly as possible. We offer a two-year device warranty so you can feel secure about having reliable tracking, and our 30-day money-back guarantee means you can try it out without commitment.
Our cloud-based asset tracking platform works in any web browser, with no additional software required. Mobile apps for iOS and Android also keep you connected from virtually anywhere. Unlike enterprise systems intended for large companies with dedicated IT staff, Track Your Truck’s tracking solutions are focused on serving the needs of small and mid-sized fleets of up to 40 vehicles. This means you can be sure our fleet management software will be intuitive and easy to navigate. To learn more, get in touch with our experts today.
