From the beginning of time, nations have been spying on other nations. Spies have been stealing secrets from other countries and monitoring the whereabouts and operations of these countries. We all love reading a great spy thriller and watching a great spy movie yet we seem so shocked to see that its actually happening in real life. We know it's happening yet it catches us by surprise. Do we really have any privacy anymore? If we know this is the case, then why is GPS Fleet Tracking still taboo to employees?
We own and operate a GPS fleet tracking software and many owners are concerned about the potential backlash they will receive from employees when rolling it out. Understandably employees are a little threatened when they explain to them that they will be tracked during their work days. We work alongside these companies to help educate employees and explain the benefits of this technology while assuaging their concerns. Despite the fact that we experience every day we often wonder why there is always such a knee jerk reaction to GPS fleet tracking.
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.
