How fleet tracking optimizes business and increases productivity

All-in-one GPS fleet, asset, and worker management system

How fleet tracking optimizes business and increases productivity?

Managing a growing fleet of vehicles and other transportation assets such as trailers and storage containers can be challenging for companies of any size, small to large. For example, drivers can go off route, make unauthorized stops, get stuck in traffic, be the victim of a crime, or have a vehicle break down.

At the same time, keeping track of inspection and maintenance of vehicles can be tedious yet critical for business continuity, compliance and insurance requirements. A business wants to keep their drivers and vehicles safely on the road as long as possible, making deliveries and reaching work sites meeting customer expectations.

But how does a business navigate the complexity of fleet management? What is an affordable but comprehensive solution? How do GPS fleet tracking, management, and logistics work together to simplify operations?

This guide will discuss:

What is AT&T Fleet Complete?

AT&T Fleet Complete combines Fleet Tracker and Asset Tracker on a single web-based management portal. It uses advanced GPS fleet tracking to track vehicles and assets in near real-time, allowing fleet managers to see the entire fleet and assets on a map and route the appropriate driver to each job.

This near real-time tracking combined with detailed, intuitive reporting and auditing allows companies to reduce fuel and insurance costs, improve customer satisfaction and retention, lower maintenance expenses, prevent unauthorized vehicle use, decrease the carbon footprint of the fleet, and help stay in compliance with industry and government regulations.

What is the difference between Fleet Tracker and Asset Tracker?

Fleet Tracker boosts the efficiency of the fleet and transportation vehicles through near real-time, centralized tracking and management. Beyond the location of vehicles, Fleet Tracker provides insight into operational status, its availability, optimal route, and maintenance needs and history.

Asset Tracker works in much the same way to protect high-value equipment, trailers, and storage containers from theft or possible misuse. Businesses can check on the status of assets at any time and get alerts of movement or unauthorized activity.

How can AT&T Fleet Complete streamline fleet management and logistics?

AT&T Fleet Complete automates previously manual tracking tasks. Fleet managers don’t have to rely on drivers for critical information such as location, routing, and maintenance needs. Instead, the information is automatically sent from a fleet tracking device installed on vehicles in the field to a central management dashboard in near real-time. Vehicle, routing, and job histories are accessible at the click of a button, providing critical insights into status, utilization, efficiency, and performance. Automating fleet tracking, management, and logistics eliminates human error, taking the burden off of drivers and maintenance workers while improving accuracy and performance. This gives businesses the information their employees need to execute the mission as quickly, efficiently, and safely as possible.

How can AT&T Fleet Complete improve productivity?

AT&T Fleet Complete keeps fleets and transportation assets in operation and on the road. It provides efficient routing to speed deliveries and work orders, eliminates unauthorized downtime, and ensures vehicles get the repairs and maintenance they need. Optimizing fleets and transportation assets improves productivity up and down the supply chain—keeping businesses running smoothly.

How can AT&T Fleet Complete keep drivers safe?

AT&T Fleet Complete uses a fleet tracking device to track the location of vehicles and their drivers from the moment the engine turns on to the moment the engine turns off. Alerts can be set for vehicles that go off route, leave a designated area, idle for more than 15 minutes, or exhibit reckless driving. Dashcam recordings can also capture road accidents and suspicious activity.

Is GPS fleet tracking really worth it?

In a word, yes. Customers that use AT&T Fleet Complete report a Return on Investment (ROI) within two to five months through greater efficiency and productivity out of their fleets and transportation assets; a reduction in maintenance, fuel, and insurance costs; and improved safety and compliance.

The best time to invest in fleet tracking is the moment a company obtains a second vehicle. Rolling out vehicle tracking, management, and logistics at this early stage allows companies to scale their solution on-demand as their fleet grows—adding vehicles and features as they are needed in a cost-efficient and manageable manner. Packages start at $1 per vehicle per day, are built to address a company’s unique GPS fleet tracking management needs and come with a three-year warranty.
