The Benefits of Vehicle Tracking

Empowering You and Your Business With Location-Based Insights Using GPS Tracking Fleet management software

If you haven’t yet integrated a GPS fleet tracking solution into your fleet and operations then this may be costing you both financially and operationally.

Without a fleet tracking solution to provide accurate, up-to-date information on your vehicles, assets, and team locations you can’t manage your organisation’s operations to its highest efficiency.

Using GPS tracking data, your organisation can take advantage of the productivity and financial benefits by optimising asset productivity and improving the safety and compliance of your team and assets. With complete visibility of your people and assets, you’re able to take control of your field operations and incident response.

The increasing evolution of devices and technology surrounding GPS tracking and the ability to affordably manage a wider variety of assets is greater than ever before. The financial benefits of adopting a fleet tracking solution continues to grow; can you afford not to?

Leveraging GPS Tracking Technology

GPS tracking has become a hot topic in recent years as gaining a competitive advantage has become more important for most organisations. GPS tracking will allow you to realise financial and operational benefits. Logic Connect customers are seeing a 5-10% reduction in fuel consumption across their fleets. Others are finding opportunities to make their fleets more efficient with 15-45% improvements in vehicle utilisation and 10% lower maintenance and repair costs.

Organisations are also better able to protect their team. They can locate their team members in the event of an emergency and be alerted if they move into an area with poor communication/coverage or in a high-risk zone. Logic Connect customers have used GPS fleet tracking solutions and geofences (leveraging GPS-based vehicle and personal safety devices) to ensure staff operating near hazards, such as active bushfires or earthquakes, were directed away to safety.

Educating and Empowering Every Employee to be a Safer Workplace Champion

As a Health and Safety manager, your responsibilities will include regulatory and operational oversight tasks. Making sure that team members are safe is a mix of understanding the legislative requirements that you are working under, and the day-to-day realities of an environment where risk is an ever-present factor. Whether your organisation employs people to supply services in suburban streets, or lone workers in remote locations far from help, it’s your position in the management team to anticipate and reduce those risks.

In our work with hundreds of organisations, Logic Connect has seen the challenges that Health and Safety Managers face in ensuring safer working practices and environments, and through those partnerships has developed solutions that address both regulatory requirement and workplace reality.

Achieving this depends on a comprehensive solution that includes the application of the right technology and processes, and the development of a safer working culture, so that co-workers share the responsibility for keeping each other safe.

You Can’t Be Everywhere. Health And Safety Is Everyone’s Responsibility

Having access to data that illustrates issues such as unsafe driving highlights the problem and supports standards setting, so that all of your organisation’s drivers understand that they have a personal responsibility to develop safer driving habits. Doing this helps to generate the changes in attitude that support sustainable and far-reaching safety benefits, and the evidence to bring about this change of mind-set can only be collected through vehicle tracking. it’s the next best thing to you being in the passenger seat alongside each driver.

The same is true for lone workers when they are away from the vehicle. Solutions that provide personal assurance through sophisticated alert and duress technologies become the virtual scheduler or team manager that’s always with them. When a lone worker has a fall on a lonely track far from base, or an angry member of the public is venting their frustration, it’s the dependability of a communications and alert solution that will close that gap between manager and worker.

Through initiatives like these, Logic Connect helps you to build an encompassing health and safety solution that enrols everyone in a safer operational culture. These are solutions that support analysis, mentoring and applicable safety procedures that empower every team member with the tools and knowledge to be a safer workplace champion. An integrated Health and Safety solution that takes into account culture as well as legislation is the only way to ensure wisdom-sharing that reaches beyond your office.

Driver Behaviour

- Improved driver compliance with safe driving expectations

- Speed monitoring

Logic Connect’s solutions provide a wealth of information, so managers can identify unsafe driving behaviours and institute driver education programmes that will encourage safer behaviour and support a fleet-wide culture of safer driving. Through comprehensive reporting we are able to provide management with a complete picture of the situation surrounding speeding events, and also identify harsh driving behaviours around acceleration, braking and cornering.

By collecting this information, managers are empowered to identify driving behaviours that need improvement and institute processes to generate positive change. Several of our clients have instituted education initiatives that have successfully brought about a safer driving culture, without resorting to naming individuals.

Lone Worker Safety - High Risk Safety

Workers in roles that face elevated risks on a regular basis require personal safety devices that will support them with additional functionality. Man-down alerts are a key feature of such a solution, ensuring that workers in high risk roles are constantly monitored and their condition automatically updated should they become incapacitated.

Team members in these roles are also primarily operating as lone workers without support, so dependable communications become increasingly important to ensure they can check in and provide updates of their status. Logic Connect has solutions to ensure this, with cellular and satellite options available.

Lone Worker Safety – Specialist Environment Safety

Not all team members work in ideal conditions. Volatile environments, rain, dust, and rough operating conditions demand solutions that continue to operate irrespective of the environment. Team members using specialist environment safety devices in these situations require solutions that meet the rigours of the conditions, both in durability, and in the standard of the features they offer.

If you require devices that are Intrinsically Safe, or can handle the challenges of remote, outdoor work, look no further.
