Spying has been around since the beginning of time and countries have been spying on one another forever. James Bond is the ultimate spy. We have come to expect and understand that spying takes place but with the recent leaks from the likes of Snowden and other public interest groups, people are seeing first hand it's happening to just about everyone. The days of covert privacy are over. The UK is said to have one camera for every 30 residents of the country. So with this why is GPS fleet tracking still considered controversial?
We offer a GPS fleet tracking solution that allows employers to see in real time or historically where their people are. The mobile GPS tracking industry has changed over the years. Nowadays Apps are installed on employees' phones which securely transmit their location throughout the day to a secure dashboard. This technology is incredibly powerful for a small business to help refine their operations. Unfortunately there is often an initial fear from the team when they hear about GPS fleet tracking. We work alongside these companies to help them explain to their employees that this solution merely relays their location on a map during their working hours. It's scheduled to stop transmitting when they stop working. Employees are being paid to perform a job in the field and asking for your reported whereabouts isn't an unreasonable request.
This GPS fleet tracking technology works across various industries and has varying benefits for each specific industry. Here is an article about how we decided to build our GPS tracking app based on all the feedback we were receiving. The simplest example of an industry using our software is a delivery company looking to see where each delivery is at any time. Rather than providing large useless windows of availability to clients, the office is able to see where a driver is at any time. With this information they are able to relay it to a client or notify the driver of an unforeseen accident or traffic backup. Outside of delivery, the GPS fleet tracking is great for small plumbing companies, HVAC repairs and other service type industries.
While there is often fear with tracking, there are reasons some of this is in place. In addition to the operational benefits that businesses get from real time location updates, there is an added layer of security for the employees. Many local and state governments are implementing or already enforcing tight restrictions on the number of hours that drivers are allowed to be on the field. This is to ensure that drivers are getting proper rest and aren't posing a risk to other people on the road. These logs are required to be kept by employers in the event they are audited. These checks and balances help keep employees safer.
We understand the initial concern employees have with the idea of GPS fleet tracking. There really isn't anything to be afraid of. Employers understand you have to stop to go to the restroom and that you need to eat lunch. It's not these tiny inconsequential detours employers are interested in. Providing real time location of field teams allows customers or clients to get better estimates of delivery or service times. This transparency lets the office send the appropriate team to the appropriate job instead of driving across town. The benefits outweigh the concerns that really shouldn't be concerns at all.
