Optimizing route management via GPS

The main advantage of GPS route management lies in getting the most out of the vehicle during the logistics routes, against poor planning, overlooked detail in paperwork or inefficient fleet management wich are more than enough reasons to lose the company economic stability and market share.

Weak managerial skills in fleet management can lead to a multitude of logistical challenges and as a consequence can affect business relationships with customers, however, in the digital era, the best ally for logistics and transports is a welldeveloped GPS route optimizer solution.

This is where a specialized software solution in route management and field service such as Work&Track provides the best advantages for companies. Regardless of the company size, you can integrate the most modern and more completed platform to manage mobility during cargo transport and logistics services:

  • GPS route optimization.
  • Monitoring field services employees.

The security provided by GPS route management

Due to the increase in thefts (of trucks and cargo) during routes, transport companies invests more and more in security. The latest innovation in this matter is the vehicle sensorization by GPS / GPRS with focus on particular elements such as: real-time communication with local traffic agents, automatic door activators, panic button, connection to a 24-hour alarm, remote vehicle disabling system. As well as the security transit route corridors, which cause an alarm when the vehicle leaves its route in anticipation of a possible coercion or kidnapping and to know when a movement occurs outside the authorized hours.

A GPS route optimizer will not only help us with safety, it will also be able to detect and determine the location of a truck, keeping the fleet fully controlled and at the same time, grabbing accurate information in real time during work days , mileage, rentings, overnight stays, itineraries, report automation or digital tachograph management.
