GPS Fleet Management for Retail Businesses

Retailers are under increasing pressure to make deliveries on time in today’s world. Whereas shoppers a generation ago would have been happy with receiving their orders in a matter of weeks, e-commerce has raised the bar. Research shows that 90% of online shoppers in the United States expect their items to arrive in two to three days at the most. This means retail businesses have to be capable of coordinating and monitoring deliveries with speed and precision.

Track Your Truck’s NetTrack platform with real-time GPS tracking delivers cloud-based retail fleet management showing you where every one of your delivery vehicles is at all times. That means you can eliminate the visibility gaps that can lead to missed deliveries and scheduling conflicts. Fleet managers can keep tabs on their vehicles either on the desktop or wherever they are thanks to integrated mobile apps on Android and iOS. For smaller fleets of 40 vehicles or fewer, NetTrack presents a solution scaled to their operations, without enterprise-level complexity.

Why Last-Mile Delivery Costs Eat into Your Retail Margins

Even though it’s the shortest leg of the journey in most cases, last-mile delivery accounts for more than half of total shipping costs. This makes it the single-largest expense category for retail fleets. External factors such as fuel prices, labor costs, and vehicle maintenance only ratchet up the pressure retailers feel on their profit margins.

But with GPS retail vehicle tracking through Track Your Truck, you can keep costs manageable. You’ll receive real-time data you can use to make better-informed decisions that help you minimize idle time, optimize routes, and negotiate better fuel and insurance rates. Our plans start at just $15.99 per month with free GPS devices, giving you enterprise-level tracking without pricing to match.

How Route Optimization Keeps Your Retail Deliveries on Schedule

Poorly planned delivery routes do more than delay shipping. They also cost your fleet in terms of excessive fuel consumption and vehicle wear. When you consider the average delivery vehicle makes dozens of stops every day, all that added cost can have a serious impact on your bottom line. At the same time, dealing with urban congestion, limited parking availability, and restricted delivery zones mean you need a solution that not only optimizes routes ahead of time, but also on the fly as conditions on the road change.

NetTrack delivers that fleet management solution with real-time route optimization that reacts to changes as they happen and re-routes your delivery drivers away from delays. Because the fleet management system also maintains a 125-day history for each vehicle, you’ll also be able to observe patterns and trends so you can find inefficiencies and create optimized daily routes. All this data is delivered to your dashboard automatically, so you don’t have to worry about keeping manual logs.

Drive Accountability That Protects Your Retail Brand

Your delivery vehicles are rolling billboards that promote your brand every minute they’re on the road. That means any driver behaviors like harsh braking, excessive speed, and aggressive driving have the potential to cause lasting harm to the customer experience as well as traffic accidents.

But with Track Your Truck’s retail vehicle tracking capabilities, you can get a handle on how your delivery drivers perform on the road. Speed monitoring and behavior alerts give you the opportunity to coach drivers on safer driving behaviors and find areas of improvement. With documented and verifiable data collected by NetTrack, you can resolve disputes and correct unsafe behavior backed by solid information, not assumptions and guesswork.

Real-Time Visibility That Eliminates Missed Deliveries

Nothing is more frustrating to consumers than failed deliveries. These can cost your business not only in terms of damage to your reputation, but also in the form of return trips, rescheduling, and extended driver hours that all eat into your resources. Fortunately, NetTrack’s real-time GPS fleet tracking makes it possible to provide your customers with ETA updates that mean less risk of missing them at home. In addition, geofencing alerts can notify fleet managers whenever vehicles enter or exit customer zones, providing automatic delivery confirmations. Our mobile apps for iOS and Android also keep drivers and dispatchers in touch for immediate adjustments to the schedule.

Vehicle Maintenance Tracking That Prevents Delivery Disruptions

If just one of your delivery vehicles breaks down, it can have a cascading effect on the rest of your operations. This is why having the fleet maintenance tracking capabilities of Track Your Truck’s fleet management software can be so important. Our diagnostic monitoring tracks key indicators of engine health, giving you the chance to spot potential issues and resolve them before they have a chance to strand your drivers mid-route. Tampering alerts also detect any unauthorized use or interference that could harm the reliability of your fleet. With our two-year warranty on GPS devices and 30-day money-back guarantee, you can be sure we will protect your hardware investment.

How to Control Fuel Costs in an Era of Price Volatility

Fuel makes up around 60% of total fleet operating budgets, making it the largest controllable expense for your retail operation. Track Your Truck gives you the power to bring these costs under control, thanks to idle monitoring that identifies which vehicles spend the most time burning fuel while standing still so you can better educate your drivers and achieve better fuel efficiency. We also provide you with speed monitoring and route analysis so you can achieve even greater savings on fuel consumption.
