Save money with GPS location

Why is GPS monitoring the best solution?

The initial investment in a GPS location system begins to pay off as soon as the vehicles first go out into the field, because:

• Reduces fuel consumption - company vehicles are a huge source of abuse by employees. Draining fuel or wasting it is a huge cost for the employer. Thanks to GPS location, you can track fuel consumption on an ongoing basis, which will instantly improve drivers' efficiency and their driving habits.
• Optimizes routes - thanks to well-thought-out routes, drivers do not have "empty" trips, both the vehicle fleet and drivers are properly used, which results in increased savings.
• Reduces the costs of technical inspections - the costs associated with ongoing diagnostics and repair of minor defects are much lower than the costs of accidents or collisions caused by inoperable vehicles. A current overview of the status of each vehicle allows you to immediately respond to any problems with the proper operation of the equipment. To facilitate the work of fleet managers, our system, thanks to full integration with the CAN bus in the vehicle, provides all information from the dashboard directly to the system. Thanks to this, you will know what is currently happening to the vehicle on the route.

Familiarize your employees with the rules of safe and economical driving.

What are the benefits of good GPS location?

Accurate travel costs

From anywhere in the world and from any device (phone, laptop, tablet) you have insight into the fuel consumption of each driver. You know how much you used while traveling to a specific place - so you can calculate how much it cost you to travel to your clients. Additionally, you can have insight into the driver's driving style - whether he accelerates or brakes too rapidly, which generates additional fuel consumption.

Increased employee efficiency

Driver productivity increases by an average of 12% after installing GPS monitoring. The very fact that they can be checked means that they perform their duties faster and more accurately.

Better understanding of your business

Having insight into how your employees behave (what causes difficulties for them and what forms of activities are carried out in an exemplary manner), you can constantly improve logistics processes. You will know what causes the biggest problems for your drivers, what should be improved and what you can give up.

Fuel consumption optimization

Thanks to GPS location, you can reduce fuel consumption by up to 30%. Well-thought-out routes, greater driving economy and more motivated drivers will put more money in your pocket.

Higher standard of services

If your business requires your employees to be punctual and respond to customer calls as quickly as possible, GPS monitoring is an effective tool. Thanks to it, you control how much time your employees need to reach customers, serve each of them, and return to the base.

Lower insurance costs

Most insurance companies have special discounts for vehicles equipped with GPS tracking. Check how much discount your insurer will give you.

Lower maintenance costs

Not all cars come to the base regularly, and sometimes there is simply no time to check each car for faults or serious damage. It is cheaper and faster to repair a small defect than a large one. Don't risk losing money due to poor maintenance or a driver who simply doesn't care for equipment that doesn't belong to him.

Additional options - precision and certainty thanks to GPS location

It is also worth using additional services included with GPS monitoring. They will make fleet management even simpler and more effective. Additionally, features in the ikol localization include:

• Vehicle movement alert (SMS, email) – you can be informed every time the vehicle starts its journey.
• Entry/exit alert from a specific area (SMS, email) - set the routes your drivers should follow, and you will be notified every time they leave or return to a specific area.
• Speeding alert (SMS, email) - Are your employees breaking the regulations? Pay special attention to vehicle speeds and receive a notification when one of your drivers exceeds the speed you set.
• Starter cut - you manage a vehicle rental company and not all customers return their cars on time? Cutting off the starter will prevent your vehicle from leaving the country or being confiscated • Low battery voltage alert (SMS, email) - in winter you don't have to worry about faulty batteries. As soon as the battery voltage drops to a certain level, you will receive a message informing you of this fact. So that you can react in time and prevent the vehicle from immobilizing.

What does the system look like?

The ikol CAN module is a locator that fulfills two tasks. It combines precise GPS locating of a passenger car or truck and allows reading information from the CAN bus located in the vehicle. This means, above all, precise control of fuel level, consumption and purchases.
