Why GPS tracking is a must for courier and delivery services

Real-time updates

Customers send important documents and fragile items by courier, and they want to know where their package is. With fleet GPS tracking you can share the real-time location of the delivery vehicle, which builds customer confidence. Because tracking works over the internet, you can follow your vans from anywhere.

GPSnVision shows where every vehicle is at any moment, and when a vehicle has been stationary. Customers who don’t get real-time updates tend to move to competitors who offer them, and GPS tracking gives you the data to deliver on time and explain any delays.

Reduced expenses

Knowing the exact location of every vehicle lets you dispatch the one closest to each pickup and plan routes that avoid wasted miles. With the Dispatch feature you can pre-program routes for each vehicle, so drivers don’t spend extra fuel on alternative routes.

The Geofence feature tells you when vehicles enter, stay in and leave specific areas, so you can see how long deliveries take and coach drivers to save time.

Maintenance Alerts remind you of scheduled service, Ignition Events show when engines are turned on and off, and the Idle feature flags vehicles running while parked. The apps work on iPhone and Android, and plug-in trackers notify you as soon as they’re unplugged, so the system can’t be quietly tampered with. Learn more about fleet GPS tracking.

Improved monitoring of staff activity

Delivery drivers spend the day on the road without direct supervision, and poor habits can hurt customer satisfaction. GPS tracking gives you an efficient way to monitor driving, which improves productivity and service while cutting costs.

The Frequent Stops feature shows excessive stops, and Speed Threshold, Rapid Acceleration and Harsh Braking alerts show when vehicles are driven too fast or too roughly. Scheduled reports help you track changes in driver habits over time.

Beyond the features, GPSnVision customers get quick support, flexible plans and affordable pricing, so you can get more done and grow your business.
