Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking “Starter Disable” stops unauthorized use

One of the most useful, and fun to use, things Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking comes with is “Starter Disable”.

Starter Disable gives you the power to, basically, flip an “engine kill” button from any computer or PDA.

Here’s how one of our customers used it to monitor unauthorized use of his fleet:

Larry, a fleet owner, has a “no driving after hours or weekends” rule. He suspected a driver was doing side work on the weekend.

He was right. He logged on to his Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking account, saw the truck was out on a Saturday and killed the starter. About three hours later, the employee called in because the truck wouldn’t start. Long story short, Larry had a little talk with his driver and his problem has been solved.

Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking faq: #1

This is the first in a series of questions/answers about the Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking system.

Question: I don’t want my drivers to know that I’m using a Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking system. Can I install the tracker and track them without anybody knowing?

Answer: Yes. A properly installed GPS fleet tracking system will not be seen by the vehicle user (usually it’s hidden deep under the dash).

Plus, only you have the password to your Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking account, so you can be the only one with access to your fleet tracking information. Or, you can always choose which employees have the “right” to view certain Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking information.

Your Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking system can be installed and used with 100% secrecy.

4 ways GPS fleet tracking systems improve your customer service

The Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking system makes customer service simpler and more streamlined for your staff and your customers. GPS fleet tracking brings customer service increased accuracy, faster status reporting, detailed billing information and fewer delays in arrival time.

Increased accuracy - verify trips

Verify that your driver made a service call/delivery at a certain time of day with up-to-the-minute tracking. GPS fleet tracking information is extremely accurate and reliable which makes life easier for your customer service team with this great technology.

Faster status reporting

Example: Customer calls and asks, “Where’s my service technician? He was supposed to be here 5 minutes ago!” Your customer service representative can use the Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking program and politely answer: “I just tracked his truck and he is four blocks away, Mrs. Brown. We apologize for the delay.”

Detailed billing information

Thoroughness is a key quality for any successful business, and a Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking system provides important information to make your bills detailed and organized. Service call and/or delivery dates and times can be recorded along side the product and/or service being charged. It’s your very own UPS Tracking system. Customer service will enjoy having access to this additional information when dealing with “difficult” customers.

Fewer delays in arrival time

A fleet working under the watchful eye of a GPS fleet tracking system is a more efficient fleet. Vehiclepath helps identify ”bad apples” for removal and makes “good” ones operate even more efficiently. Following this logic, your drivers are going to make more calls on time and dispatchers/customer service personnel can always track and send your closest driver in the field.

Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking knows how important it is to retain customers, and customer service has a lot to do with that. Give your customer service department the best tools to do their job and make your company money - give them access to Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking systems and you’ll reap the benefits.

How much can Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking help one fleet owner?

A Mr. Williamson recently contacted us to explain how much his Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking system is helping his fleet cut down on unnecessary usage and spending.

Williamson was very pleased and wrote us the following note, including an itemized list of benefits:

Dear Vehiclepath:

Vehiclepath GPS fleet tracking has been one the best tools for productivity that we have ever purchased. We started out with six units and found that they where so good at keeping track of our fleet vehicles that we just purchased 92 more. These units help in so many ways.

Here are just a few of them:

  1. Dispatching - I can look on the map and see where the fleet crews are and send them to the complaint.
  2. Productivity - the fleet employees are taking a more direct route to the job site and saving on drive time.
  3. Complaint - When we get a complaint about one of our fleet crews without the vehicle number we can immediately look on the map and see who was there.
  4. Emergencies - When I get a call that someone is hurt, I can immediately call 911 and give them the exact location of my fleet vehicle.

In short, Vehiclepath saves you money and gives you piece of mind knowing that your employees are doing the right thing at the right time. It protects my employees when someone calls in and gives false information about the speed they were going. “Speed kills,” so it can also save lives. I feel that these units are great for anyone, from small shops to the biggest fleets.

Gratefully,

G. Williamson
