As a common trend across the industry, software solutions are now dominantly web-based. Choosing a web-based fleet tracking software provides many benefits. Along with accessing information about your fleet wherever you are, also easily customize and receive software updates, lower the cost of software utilization, and protect your fleet from lost information due to a computer crash or hardware issue on your side.
It’s Convenient
Access your fleet tracking solution wherever you are, at any time. You can view current vehicle locations, dispatch, message drivers, or view reports by simply logging in to your account from the web-based solution. The more advanced fleet tracking solutions should have a smartphone “app” available for download that will allow you to view the solution from your phone if you are out of the office.
Easily Customize and Receive Software Updates
Web-based applications are easily customized to individual customer needs. With an advanced fleet tracking solution, they should be able to work with you to create custom reports and make your interface as user friendly as possible. It also makes it very simple to update features when improvements are made to the solution as a whole. Because all of these updates are done remotely, consumers can see a significant decrease in cost of solutions, which are now more advanced and affordable than ever. There is typically a monthly subscription instead of a large upfront cost of installing the latest version of the software when it is released.
It Protects Information
You never have to worry about your computer crashing and loosing important material like reports, vehicle maintenance schedules or driver and vehicle information. Since fleet tracking software is hosted on the server of the provider, you will never loose any information due to issues with your company’s hardware.
Having a web-based fleet tracking solution makes fleet tracking convenient, easily customizable, allows new features to be rolled out sooner and lowers the cost of using a fleet tracking solution overall.
