Benefits

How GPS fleet tracking impacts fleet management

Track and manage every vehicle and asset

Fleets lose, on average, $250,000 a year just determining if trailers are ready. Solera tracking and monitoring technology keeps tabs on the location, contents, condition, and activities of all fleet assets for smooth, efficient operations.

Improve driver satisfaction and safety performance

Solera keeps your drivers from wasting time and losing hours searching for trailers or manually tracking HOS. Monitoring risky habits like hard braking or turning and providing a Driver Safety Scorecard also improves driver behavior.   

Optimize fleet operations for a better bottom line

Solera can reduce detention time, improve routing efficiency, fully monitor and optimize asset utilization, and issue notifications on exceptions, alerts, and other events to boost ROI and overall business results.

Lower the cost of operations and maintenance

By accurately tracking maintenance needs and schedules and receiving maintenance alerts, fleets can reduce vehicle downtime and repair costs. Tracking idling time, mileage, and tire pressure saves fuel costs and unnecessary wear and tear.

Meet customer expectations for visibility and punctuality

With Solera keeping tabs on every fleet asset, you can keep customers informed while handling emergencies, breakdowns, or any situation that arises. Of course, Solera optimization and maintenance solutions also mean fewer situations to deal with.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions on Fleet Tracking

What is GPS fleet tracking?

GPS fleet tracking gives you a complete view of your fleet’s operations, covering everything from vehicle locations and driver behavior to trailer tracking. With advanced fleet GPS trackers, you can monitor where every vehicle and trailer is in real time, ensuring they’re on the right routes and operating efficiently. GPS technology can also track trailer conditions and contents, ensuring both assets and cargo are safe and accounted for. Ultimately, GPS fleet tracking helps you improve your operations, promote safety, and make better decisions for your fleet.

Who installs the sensors?

GPS sensors and tracking devices typically require professional installation to ensure they function correctly and integrate with your fleet management system. Certified technicians install sensors in each vehicle and trailer to maximize accuracy and efficiency across the fleet. Installation is usually quick to minimize downtime and get your fleet up and running with GPS tracking as soon as possible. Solera’s FleetLocate® GPS products give you access to expert installation services to ensure your system is set up for success from day one.

What is the cost of GPS fleet tracking?

The cost of GPS fleet tracking depends on several factors, including the size of your fleet and the features and operational services you need. Costs typically include the price of hardware, installation, and ongoing subscription fees for monitoring and support services. While initial investments might seem substantial, the long-term savings from optimized operations, less fuel consumption, and lower maintenance costs quickly offset these expenses. Solera offers scalable solutions tailored to different fleet sizes and needs, ensuring you get the most value from your GPS investments.

Yes, Solera provides full technical support for our fleet tracking GPS solutions. Our team is ready to assist with installation, setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance whenever you need it. Whether you have questions or need help with an issue, we’re here to keep your fleet tracking system running smoothly and efficiently. You can reach our support team by phone, email, or through our online resources to get the help you need when you need it.

Can the sensors be overridden or disabled?

GPS sensors are designed with multiple layers of security to prevent tampering and unauthorized access. During installation, technicians place the sensors in discreet locations in vehicles or trailers to minimize the risk of interference. Once in use, these sensors continuously monitor the fleet, and any attempt to tamper with or disable them triggers immediate alerts. This allows fleet managers to quickly address issues and maintain accurate tracking data. Solera’s GPS sensors are equipped with advanced tamper detection features, providing real-time alerts and ensuring that your fleet tracking remains secure and reliable at all times.

Can the sensors be stolen?

GPS sensors are designed with security and durability in mind, making them difficult to steal. Since technicians install sensors in secure, concealed locations, they are difficult to identify and interfere with. Any attempt to disable or remove sensors triggers immediate alerts to the fleet management team. Solera enhances this protection with advanced tamper detection features, with real-time notifications if any suspicious activity is detected, ensuring that your fleet remains secure and tracking remains uninterrupted.

Will drivers accept GPS fleet tracking in their vehicles?

While some drivers may initially have concerns about fleet GPS tracking, it has become a widely accepted tool in the industry. This technology enhances driver safety by monitoring and providing feedback on driving habits, helping drivers improve their skills. It also helps reduce paperwork and, therefore, makes drivers’ jobs easier. Over time, many drivers come to see GPS tracking as a benefit rather than a burden, especially when they are recognized and rewarded for good driving behavior.

Does GPS fleet tracking help with compliance and regulations?

Fleet GPS tracking can help fleets comply with industry regulations, including Hours of Service (HOS) and electronic logging device (ELD) mandates. By automatically tracking driving hours and vehicle usage, GPS systems ensure that your drivers adhere to legal requirements to reduce the risk of violations and fines. Solera’s GPS tracking solutions go a step further by providing real-time data and reporting, allowing fleet managers to monitor compliance, maintain accurate records, streamline audits, and ensure they are operating legally.
