Lower your average speed
Target Cars
If everyone in your fleet can stay below 65 mph on the highway and under 45 mph on the road, you will notice a decrease in fuel consumption. Not only will you be able to reduce gas bills and improve fuel management, you can also significantly decrease the likelihood of accidents. This is important over time as this will show up in your loss and profit statements. Another benefit is that these data can be used to lobby your insurance carriers to give you lower premiums.
Use information to your advantage
The information you can get from your GPS vehicle tracker can be used to implement employee bonus systems based on cost-savings that could help entice your drivers to use gas efficiently. On the other hand, this could also work the opposite way, so you can keep track of your drivers who are being inefficient in their jobs.
Find assistance
Providing immediate assistance to employees helps them stay on schedule, and this is one of the benefits of company vehicle tracking for your business. The tracking device can help employees in case they get lost or if they get stuck in traffic and have to find a more direct route to get to their destination.

Use geo-fencing
The geo-fence alert eliminates moonlighting, driving after hours, and even unwanted stops on work days. This can save you money not only on fuel but also on wages and maintenance. It can also limit your liability (if you have a written driving policy) and even increase customer satisfaction.
