How to Prevent Theft With GPS Tracking

Commercial vehicles are prime targets for thieves. This is not just because of the value of the vehicle itself, but also its contents. Protecting tools and cargo is critical because theft costs American businesses hundreds of millions every year. GPS car trackers keep your equipment and its cargo traceable. With the tracking device, you can see where it is at any time. These systems work for trucks and other powered machinery as well as for attachments, trailers, and other non-powered equipment. Active anti-theft tracking systems can alert you automatically whenever an asset is taken outside of a predetermined geofenced area. Your company can take advantage of anti-theft GPS tracking by using it to:

  • See the location of your equipment: Keep track of where your vehicles are by seeing their locations in real time. Knowing the equipment’s location helps prevent vehicle theft.
  • Confirm rental periods: If your company is in the rental equipment business, you can use GPS tracking for anti-theft to ensure your customers use the equipment when they’re supposed to. For example, if your customer rents equipment for Friday and will return it Monday, GPS tracking can verify that the customer honored the agreement by only using the equipment on Friday.
  • Recover equipment: Anti-theft technology can help you locate equipment rentals that were not returned. Fleet management solutions give you location updates in real time so you can track down your equipment and return it to your shop.

4 Benefits of GPS Stolen Vehicle Recovery for Your Fleet

Implementing a stolen vehicle recovery system is crucial when you have a fleet of valuable equipment. GPS tracking for anti-theft purposes can help your company:

  • Theft deterrence: GPS anti-theft tracking helps prevent equipment from getting stolen. Since you can see its location, you’ll know where to find your vehicles. It can also deter thieves since they’ll be less likely to steal secure equipment.
  • Faster recovery process: Having a real-time location quickens the recovery process in the event of loss or theft, with most recoveries happening within hours rather than days or weeks. The technology can also help you identify theft as it’s happening so you can alert law enforcement.
  • Reduced total loss events: If your vehicles are stolen, your company could lose thousands of dollars. Covert installation of GPS devices means criminals cannot easily find and disable them.
  • Lower insurance premiums: Many insurance providers offer discounts when anti-theft tracking devices are installed. These typically range from 5% all the way up to 25% for comprehensive premiums. Fleet vehicles may be eligible for discounts of up to 35%, depending on the insurer.
