Revolutionise Your Fleet Management with Van Tracking Technology

If you own a fleet of vans as part of your business, then keeping track of these is in your best interests when it comes to ensuring business efficiency. But how can you do so in a way that is practical and convenient when you have multiple vehicles? The answer is telematics.

Telematics allow you to stay connected with your drivers and be aware of their whereabouts and vehicle status. Read on below as we tell you more about what this technology includes and why it is beneficial for effective fleet management.

What is Van Tracking Technology?

Van tracking technology, or vehicle telematics, uses GPS tracking to show you a real-time view of your fleet status and vehicle locations. This not only allows you to track where drivers are on their journeys to check whether they are on target for reaching their destination in time, but also includes information such as whether they are stationary or moving, road speed data and driving habits – which can be monitored per individual driver.

Not only does this technology give you live information regarding your vehicles’ locations, but it allows you to receive live traffic updates as well, so you can revise and configure the best routes for your vehicles to take depending on their current positions.

The Benefits of Telematics for Fleet Management

There are a number of benefits that are offered by fleet management tools, all of which lead to the overall benefit of maximum efficiency for your business.

Firstly, there is the benefit of improved safety and reduced vehicle maintenance costs thanks to the observation of driver habits. By being able to monitor drivers’ speed, braking, acceleration and other fuel-wasting behaviour, you can identify where this can be improved to not only have your drivers drive more safely, but more efficiently, also. As a result, less strain is put on the vehicle, reducing your maintenance costs.

There are then the key benefits offered by live GPS tracking, which can also reduce costs and ensure that you are meeting deadlines and upkeep customer satisfaction. By monitoring the live location of the vans in your fleet in conjunction with live traffic data, you are able to identify and configure the quickest, most efficient routes for them to take from their current location to their destination in order to avoid traffic congestion and other hindrances.

This not only reduces your costs by saving on fuel, but keeps your customers happy by reaching them in adequate time, with the potential to reach more customers in a day – this increased efficiency can then lead to an increased revenue.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"I recently bought a new car from this company and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Tyler and Steve C were both brilliant to deal with – friendly, professional and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They took the time to answer all my questions and made everything straightforward and stress-free. The customer service was excellent and I never felt pressured at any point. Both Tyler and Steve C really went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted and that I was happy with the car. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would definitely buy from them again in the future. Thanks again for such a great experience!"
