GPS Vehicle Tracking

There are so many reasons that GPS vehicle tracking is a good idea. During my day job, one of my responsibilities is to audit and keep track of company asset losses. We have two delivery trucks that are constantly dropping off supplies at various job sites. Twice a year, we do inventory to find out how much merchandise we have lost.
It’s pretty easy to keep an eye on the merchandise in the store but once it gets on the the delivery truck, we no longer have eyes on it. Occasionally I have to covertly follow the delivery drivers to find out of they are delivering ALL of the merchandise to the location where it needs to go. On more than one occasion, I have caught drivers taking extra merchandise from the store and selling it to a contractor on the side and pocketing the money.
We installed GPS vehicle tracking devices on our trucks and now we can see if our trucks ever deviate from their scheduled routes. If they deviate, we can launch an investigation. This technology has enabled us to cut our costs and save money. Not to mention that it keeps the delivery drivers honest.
