The Spending Review – Every Cloud has a Silver lining

Friday, October 15th, 2010

It is 100% certain that many businesses will suffer in the coming months and most probably next couple of years with a loss of income as the impact of the imminent government spending revue and resulting cuts ripple through the UK economy.

If you have not yet fitted vehicle tracking because of employee resistance the spending review give you an opportunity to make the change.

All employees know of the impending cuts and armed with this you can reasonably justify fitted tracking as means of identifying essential savings as failure to do so could well result in having to lay people off for a period or even worse make them redundant. A really good way to focus the minds of employees

For help in making the change contact V-SOL @ info@v-sol.co.uk and quote spending review in the subject line and we will help you.

Vehicle Tracking gives you the edge

Friday, December 11th, 2009

In an increasingly competitive market place, giving customers an arrival time of some point between 8am and 6pm is not going to help build company loyalty. Businesses have been forced to raise their game and customer service is a high priority. So, with such tough competition, why not use vehicle tracking to help you get ahead.

When you know the exact location of all vehicles, as well as precise times and speeds, calculating how long it will take for them to reach a specific destination becomes much more feasible. While you still have to make allowances for traffic and roadworks, a vehicle tracking system will allow you to give customers a much more accurate time of arrival than ‘some point during the working day’.

Enhance your Business Performance with Vehicle Tracking

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

GPS tracking can improve the economical efficiency of businesses in many ways, but aside from cutting down on fuel wastage, vehicle abuse and communication costs, the technology also allows companies to spend more time focusing on developing the business.

The reason for this is because all issues of vehicle location, maintenance, and security are managed by the system, meaning that staff don’t have to waste time finding out this information, as it is already recorded – benefitting staff in operations and finance, as well as on the road.

So, in addition to seeing the financial rewards tracking can bring through economical savings, with efficiency levels throughout companies also raised, the return on investment is even higher.

Don’t add fuel to the fire

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Fuel prices are always the centre of much debate, and with the Chancellor of the Exchequer planning a further 2p per litre rise in September’s budget, fuel price rises show no sign of relenting.

With the impact of these price hikes, it’s vital that companies think smarter about how they use fuel more efficiently and economically. This is where tracking becomes more than just a vehicle locator.

Good vehicle tracking allows you to monitor all routes taken and analyse whether these were in fact the most direct. Alternatively, by studying the vehicle tracking data, you may see that on certain routes a vehicle spends too long stuck in queues or waiting at traffic lights – burning fuel without even moving. By assessing all of this data you can look at alternative routes and timings to improve the cost efficiency of your operations – saving not only valuable fuel, but potentially man hours as well.

So while there is little anyone can do to reduce the cost of fuel, by being a bit more savvy you can make sure you’re getting the most for your money from the fuel you do buy.

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.
