Dont let your tracking systems lose it way!

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Vehicle tracking systems work best when they fit the business. Many organisations fail to get the best or even anything worthwhile at all from the systems they buy because they have not looked closely enough at whatever is being offered by the provider they choose.  The news article linked below from India highlights just how easy it is to run into problems when implementing a vehicle tracking solution.

V-SOL are specialists in GPS tracking having been manufacturing and supplying live tracking systems longer than anybody else in the UK. From the very beginning our aim was to supply a “solution” rather than just a “system”  in fact our original name was Vehicle Solutions. We only changed this as some people thought we were a car leasing company!

In fact our first solution came about as we needed a systems for our own business. The leading suppliers of the day namely Minor Planet and Datatrak both told us we did not really need what we were seeking.

Ever since then we have specialised in providing our customers with tailored systems. Whilst the investment is a little larger on the face of it what matters most of all is what you get from the solution and this is where having a system designed around you pretty much guarantees you success. We are able to promise this and build it into any agreement we make to supply systems. That way we are truly partners and motivated to see that the customer gets a solution that delivers rather than a generic solution that may or may not work for them.

Pay as you Go – a cautionary tale for business

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

There’s been a lot of talk about Pay as You Go vehicle tracking. Reflecting the mobile phone market, this system is low cost and really sells on price, but we all know the saying – if it looks too good to be true it probably is – and in this case, if you’re in business, it definitely is.

Any company that has a mobile workforce, no matter what market you’re in, wants to be able to run it more efficiently, improve their operations and their customer service. That way you’ll stay in business for the future and become more profitable. Good vehicle tracking can play a key role in this, delivering the control and reporting needed to significantly improve performance across the board.

But what if you shop on price and go with a Pay as You Go system, install it yourself and power it through your cigarette lighter? I know people who have tried and the truth is that if you need an effective business tool that will help you grow and develop your business no pay as you go solution will ever deliver for you – and then it just becomes a waste of money.

If you are debating the pros and cons of tracking, be sure to look at the complete picture. After all, how many businesses would get pay as you go phones for their staff? None that I know of. So get some proper advice, look at where you want your company to be and how tracking can help you get there, and then you’ll be in a much stronger position for the future.
