You don’t need to fear implementing GPS tracking for your fleet because of all of the data you would be responsible for. Advanced GPS tracking companies have designed their solutions to SIMPLIFY fleet management. Yes, GPS tracking technology processes a lot of data and makes it available at your fingertips, but it doesn’t have to be ingested at once. Here are a few tips we would like to share with you about how to handle the data GPS tracking provides:

Properly Setup GPS Tracking Software to Condense the Data

Organize your dashboard interface to show only the information you need to see. Set up alerts to only alert you on exceptions or problems that need to be addressed. Schedule summary reports to be sent to you when you need them. Only schedule the reports you need, so that you are not overwhelmed with too many reports.

Tackle One Metric at a Time

You will most likely be less effective if you start day 1 trying to extract every benefit that the GPS tracking software provides. This will unquestionably drown you in data. Start with your low hanging fruit, such as focusing on reducing speeding, idle time, and/or vehicle mileage. Once you get each metric down to your goal level, tackle the next important metric. This way you will never get in over your head.

Stay on Top of The Data as You Become a GPS Tracking Veteran

Once you have all of your reports, alerts, and processes in place, you want to make sure that you stay on top of the data. Schedule meetings to discuss the different metrics, what needs improvement, and where you need to take action. As long as you slowly ramp up to extract all of the benefits your GPS tracking software provides, you should never feel overwhelmed with the data you have once you become a power user.

Don’t let this valuable data go by the wayside just because you may be uncomfortable with the amount of data that you and your team will be responsible for. These tips will simplify your strides to taking full control of your fleet.
