For any small-business owner, every dollar—and every moment—counts.
This is especially true for those who have a transportation component (vehicles or fleets) to their business. There is always so much to do: products to deliver, vehicles to service and maintain, and driver calls to respond to. Just keeping the daily flow of operations running on track and on time can feel like an overwhelming task.
The great news is that there are tools available that can help. Yes, they are based on technology, but they are simple to implement and use—and they are available today. In fact, these tools even helped keep transportation companies afloat and thriving during the recent pandemic.
In addition, these technology tools can make a huge difference in boosting a company’s competitive edge as well as helping make the shift from being in a reactionary role, with little control, to a more proactive one. In this blog, we highlight some key components to embracing these new technologies, and how they can benefit your business.
One little tool has revolutionized how people navigate from point A to point B: GPS device tracking. It is easily accessible everywhere, and it is transforming how transportation companies manage their vehicles. With a GPS tracking device, a driver can find a location, and the business owner can track where that driver is at any given moment. That means greater insight into the status of when products or services are delivered, or how vehicles are performing on the road. Real-time alerts can also be set up to help drivers or business owners respond to situations as they arise. This tracking ability provides crucial information and greater visibility to ensure all operations—on the road and off—are running smoothly, cost-effectively, and on time.
More than ever, information is everywhere. The problem is that not all of it is equal. There is just too much of it, and it takes too long to sift through it to figure out what is usable.
This information overload is a challenge for any company, especially one that is actively transporting goods and services. So being able to seamlessly collect and use specific information generated from your daily operations can help you not only better manage your business but make better decisions, and faster.
With the right transport vehicle management software, you can access valuable information on:
Your products or services, as well as every one of your drivers and vehicles, matter. As a result, ensuring their safety is key.
According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Association, “22.2% of the crash report was brought down when AI was implemented on route planning, which can detect roadblocks, heavy traffic, intersections, and roundabouts.” This statistic alone highlights the added benefit of using technology to improve safety. Specifically, it is essential to have the ability to:

GPS tracking is the process of using the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the location of a vehicle in real-time.
GPS tracking relies on a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. GPS-enabled devices receive signals from these satellites to determine their precise location. However, to transmit or receive real-time location data, an internet or cellular connection is also necessary.
Satrack GPS tracking can be used to track vehicles and assets including: Trucks, cars, trailers, Pickups, Trucks, Fleets, Equipments, Heavy Duty Vehicles, dumpster, bobcats, jet ski, motorcycles.
GPS tracking offers numerous benefits, including improved asset utilization, increased safety and security, better route planning, and reduced operational costs.
There are various devices used for GPS tracking:
