Why do businesses track their trucks?
Van security and truck theft:
Company vans can often be a target for theft, as they are likely to contain valuable equipment. Having truck tracking installed means that your trucks can be recovered easily, and you will be alerted to any unusual movements right away.
Unauthorized truck usage:
React to unauthorized vehicle movements fast with the help of our geofencing alerts. These allow you to set up zones and rules to make sure your trucks are only used when and where they are meant to be. Be notified of any unauthorized use of your trucks at weekends or in the evenings, and keep a close eye on the truck’s mileage.
Protection of van drivers:
Your drivers and your company may face accusations from time to time, from clients disputing work that was completed or perhaps regarding a traffic collision. Truck tracking can provide solid evidence to protect you and your drivers if this situation arises.
