Vehicle tracking or employee management system?
When you think of vehicle tracking it is likely you think of little black boxes in large haulage fleets. It may be that you think tracking is not for your business or sector but think again.
Tracking has changed and is no longer restricted to vehicles. A device based tracking solution, powered by software downloaded onto a GPS smartphone, keeps track of your employees, both in a vehicle and outside.
If you have any employees on the road, even those using their own vehicles on your business, you owe them a duty of care and you need to demonstrate that you are actively looking after them.
Mobile phone tracking gives you a real-time picture of the location of every device online. It allows you to see where your employees are (accurate to 5m), where they are going, and at what speed when they are in a vehicle (whether speeding or not). It can alert you when they enter certain areas designated by yourself, and can be used by the employee to alert you if help is needed.
If your workers are going out on their own this type of tracking is the best and most cost efficient way of dealing with health and safety compliance whilst also allowing you to make cost savings and efficiencies. At the click of a button you can print out reports and accurate expenses sheets based on the precise mileage used.
This is not about spying on your employees. There is no need for them to fear big brother watching them 24/7. Privacy safeguards are built-in allowing them to be monitored during working hours and to switch off the tracking outside of these hours, even when the phone is still in use.
