As the name implies, the Global Positioning System (GPS) tracks and monitors the location of particular assets. GPS truck tracking systems work by providing real-time updates on the location of a fleet asset equipped with a vehicle tracking device. This device emits signals which are picked up by the GPS satellite network. This in turn relays the signals via a cellular network to the cloud server, and from there the information is displayed on a computer program or mobile app used by fleet managers. There is the potential for GPS truck tracking devices to pass location and other data points over the satellite communication network, which offers a more robust mechanism to transfer data. Businesses that have resources working in remote locations, or in areas with poor cellular coverage can opt for this type of data transfer in order to ensure reliable continuation of resource visibility.

Fleet management aims to maximize efficiency, increase productivity and improve safety for an organization's vehicles and drivers. Often this achieved using a combination of vehicle tracking, reporting on fuel consumption, monitoring of driver behaviour and management of vehicle maintenance.

Managing a fleet of vehicles can be challenging, no matter the fleet size. That’s why over 80% of fleet managers rely on fleet management system or vehicle telematics to help support day-to-day operations. Fleet management system can help fleet managers gain real-time visibility into their operations while increasing driver satisfaction and decreasing fuel usage through predictive analytics and accurate reporting.

You can view your fleet if your mobile phone has an internet connection. The application is fully web-based, so there’s no software to install. The application is available on your computer, tablet or phone

Fleet management can help improve fuel efficiency and reduce related expenses, by using technology to shorten routes taken, improve driver behaviour and decrease engine idling time. Fleet management system can identify driver behaviours that consume excess fuel, such as excessive acceleration, and help fleet managers recognise when engine performance is affecting fuel economy.

Fleet management is essential to a smooth operating fleet of vehicles, no matter the size. Tracking the location and condition of the vehicles, maintenance schedules, and fuel usage helps manage costs and keeps the equipment working longer.

As we have noted, GPS truck trackers provide precise real-time data on vehicle location. This has made them indispensable to fleet managers, and have allowed for major improvements in efficiency, reliability and overall standards of customer service. For instance, managers are now able to redeploy fleet assets to where they are needed as and when the necessity occurs. So, if one vehicle breaks down, is involved in an accident or simply finds itself caught in traffic, another vehicle can be sent out to handle the job in question.Telematics systems supported by GPS tracking, however, offer the benefits of a truck tracker as well as a wide range of other functions. These include detailed data on driver behavior and vehicle performance. This opens up the possibility of making significant efficiency savings (for example, by allowing for improvements in fuel economy) as well as potentially lowering insurance premiums through improved driver behavior and lower accident rates.
