GPS Tracking System – Moving At A Fast Pace

GPS, which stands for global positioning system, was first introduced in the 1970’s by the United States military, solely for its own navigation purpose. It gathered huge success which resulted in the extensive use of GPS in other fields by 1980’s.

Initially known as GNSS (global navigation satellite system), it maps earth in any kind of weather. The whole world is covered by the constellation of GPS satellites, with each satellite constantly transmitting radio signals to detect the location, speed and direction of travel of a GPS sensor (receiver).

GPS system broadly constitutes of four parts- satellites, receiver, mobile tower and the software 

Satellites transmit information through radio waves which are received by the receiver in the GPS device. It then transfers this data to the mobile tower using mobile network (GSM/CDMA). From there the data is carried by GPRS network to the server, which stores the raw data in its database for further use, carried by local internet to the needful systems like laptops and mobiles.

Processing this data leads to meaningful information about vehicle’s location, movement, route, speed etc. Advanced GPS devices can record more information like ignition status, fuel status, air conditioner status, odometer reading etc.

Software is an important part of this set-up. It is where the user interacts with the system and views the processed, meaningful information.

Doing business is not an easy task. You have zillion of things to do and many unforeseen turns on the road. To handle all of this and to run your business successfully, you need something. Besides various other things, Fleet Management Solution can help. In this article, I am jotting down some thought starters to be considered as you think of a Fleet Management Solution.

Indigenous Mobile App: In businesses, every single second counts and you have to take decisions on the go. So, go for a software solution that provides Mobile App besides the conventional Web UI. Moreover, the App should be available for all smart phone users (Android, IOS and Windows)so that they candownload the App and can work anytime from anywhere.

Consolidated Dashboard:When looking into fleet management solutions, think about the ones that provide a compact dashboard customized to suit your eye. Customarily, management executives’ have an inclination to contemplate only condensed data so as to grab the bigger picture which helps them to save company’s bacon as well as enables them to devise company’s future strategies/policies. Thus, opt for software that provides dashboard where information can be drilled down with subsequent clicks matched to your convenience.

UI for all Key Players: Solutions providinguser-friendly and user-specific interfaces for all the three layers of long haul business i.e. Consignor, Consignee and Forwarder, would undoubtedly be a better option among fleet management category. I meanif you are going for Fleet management solution, then why not let everyone in the chain reap its benefits.

Flexibility of Data Input: We all understand that time is the essence in today’s fast paced world. Hence, people do not want to burn-up their time learning or juggling with the new data input methods. Thusopt for a solution that support multiple forms of data input including the one you are familiar with.

Auto Monitoring: Try to go for those solutions which monitor vehicles 24/7 and the trips made by them and consequently update vehicle status automatically. Such solutions relives the user from hassles and tensions of manual updates.

Proactive Analytics: Increasing the efficiency of corporate logistics requires studying the evolving trends that help take important strategic decisions by the senior management. A wide range of ‘compliance’ and ‘conformity’ reports, offered by many solutions,can help you monitor and correct any bottle-necks that may exist in the process.

Dynamic Grouping:With evolving technology it is important for an organization to build its infrastructure in an adaptable form. Hence, consider software architecture that supports dynamic grouping on the dashboard where vehicle status is updated every few seconds and exchanged between rule specific groups.

Conformity and Compliance Status Reports: User-specific reports prevent the user to sift through loads of data before landing on to the relevant information. So, the solution should be capable of imparting a wide range of compliance and conformity reports to assist the user in managing their part in the chain.Few of examples could be Daily summary report, expected arrival time report, Customer status report, just to name a few.You can go in for software solutions that offers number of reports, a report for each one – from a supervisor to an executive.

Key Performance Indicator’s: With an ocean of data to divulge oneself in, it is important that we do-not lose sight of the ‘track’. Key performance indicators are meant to check if your basics are right. These figures will help discover the depth of your overall strategy about the whole fleet. Thus, fleet management solution can help to paint a picture so that you can-

ü  Compare and analyse among all the vehicles in the fleet.

ü  Scan through the accurate and latest values of important indicators.

Lately, this trend has shot up like anything. Gradually, all companies have started taking leverage of this fact and are making a stupendous amount of money from it.

The idea is to use mobile phone as a tool for reaching out masses and marketing their products and services. This is also known as “Mobile Marketing”. Mobile marketing has become a great way to make new customers and stay in touch with the existing ones.

Besides mobile site, trend is also to go for mobile App as well. User needs to download the app from the App store and install it on their mobile device.
