The most precious asset we share is this little ball of air, stone, dirt and water we call Earth. Earth\u2019s natural resources are the key to our existence, and sustainability helps ensure a better future. Ignoring it can lead to the exhaustion of crucial resources, loss of habitat, and destruction of the natural world. Sustainability is the key to good stewardship of the Earth and the health and safety of future generations.<\/p>\n

At GPS Insight, one of our core missions is to help fleets do their part to reduce their environmental, economic, and social impact. Our solutions help fleets increase operational efficiencies, improve maintenance and vehicle usage, and reduce fuel and energy waste.<\/p>\n

We are proud of the impact we\u2019re having in this critical area. That\u2019s why we are thrilled to announce GPS Insight has earned the Business Intelligence Group\u2019s prestigious 2022 Sustainability Award<\/a> for those efforts.<\/p>\n

For fleets big or small, creating a sustainable fleet program is one of the greatest contributions that can be made to help reduce their impact on climate change. With CO2 emissions at an all-time high<\/a>, it is now more important than ever for fleets to consider their sustainability goals. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that transportation now accounts for 27% of the country\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions<\/a>. That means fleet managers have a huge opportunity to make a difference.<\/p>\n

GPS Tracking Makes Fleets Greener<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sustainability is critical to ensuring a more positive future, and it is also just good business. GPS tracking solutions help fleets use less fuel and lower their emissions<\/a>. More efficient routes save time, fuel, and emissions. They encourage drivers to adopt better habits through data on speeding and hard acceleration, both of which increase fuel consumption. You can even reward drivers who demonstrate the best practices, which can be an incentive fleetwide.<\/p>\n

Right-Sizing is Environmentally Friendly<\/b><\/h2>\n

Using the right tool for the right job is always important. For example, driving a box van when a pickup truck is better for the task is hard on both your bottom line and the environment. Evaluate your organization\u2019s vehicle use to ensure that the vehicles match the job.<\/p>\n

What about older vehicles? It\u2019s hard to have a greener fleet with aging vehicles. Using our tools to schedule regular maintenance keeps them running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n

GPS tracking can help with rightsizing by spotting the vehicles that are overused or rarely used. Fleet managers will also have data that will help them replace, reassign, or eliminate vehicles, which results in a more productive fleet.<\/p>\n

A greener fleet benefits your organization financially, while also showing your community that you\u2019re committed to making large-scale environmental improvements. That\u2019s a great way to build goodwill for your business.<\/p>\n

Consumers expect corporations to adopt sustainability on a large scale. That\u2019s because many of them believe they\u2019re powerless as individuals, and they look to organizations to address this issue. Two-thirds of people responding to a Nielsen survey said they would pay more for a product that comes from a sustainable brand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When it comes to fleet management, it’s vital to think about the impact your decisions will have on the future of your company and the world around it. To move forward into a greener world, fleets need to start focusing on how to manage their energy and resources to help build a better, greener planet.<\/p>\n

We’re proud to announce GPS Insight has won the Business Intelligence Group 2022 Sustainability Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":56392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"

\"\"<\/a>For the most part, companies with outside sales teams, such as pharmaceutical companies, have not adopted GPS tracking software to monitor their reps. There have been a number of reasons as to why they haven\u2019t, two of which being privacy issues and the hardwired installation of the devices. These are two legitimate issues that we have the answer to.<\/p>

GPS Insight has been selected by Garmin to integrate with the fleet 590 device, which is a portable device that combines GPS tracking<\/a> capabilities for fleet management and the simplicity of Garmin navigation.<\/p>

Problem #1: Invasion of Privacy<\/h2>

Since outside sales teams are typically given a company leased vehicle, reps use them for work and for personal use. The issue lies with tracking their employees during off hours and weekends. Sales reps understandably don\u2019t want their employer having insight to what they do with their personal time.<\/p>

The Garmin fleet 590<\/a> device can be taken out of the vehicle on evenings and weekends so that the invasion of privacy conversation goes right out the window.<\/p>

Problem #2: Installing a GPS Tracking Device<\/h2>

The fact that the majority of GPS tracking software providers sell hardwire installed devices is a problem for companies with outside sales teams, like pharmaceutical companies, seeing as they usually lease vehicles. Fleet managers do not want the hassle that comes with messing with wiring on a vehicle they do not own. This would also make it cumbersome to move the devices from vehicle to vehicle as new reps leave and come on board or as vehicles get traded in.<\/p>[caption id=\"attachment_1989\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]\"Garmin<\/a> Garmin fleet 590 GPS tracking device[\/caption]

The Garmin fleet 590 device plugs into the cigarette lighter for power and ignition on\/off recognition. This device works perfectly for companies with leased vehicles, because all professional installation costs and downtime are eliminated.<\/p>

How GPS Tracking Benefits Outside Sales Teams<\/h2>

With those 2 obstacles aside, GPS tracking software provides not only fleet managers with an array of benefits, but it also supplies sales managers of outside sales teams with powerful information, they wouldn\u2019t otherwise have, to help optimize sales operations.<\/p>
