Should I pick ONE fleet management-asset management GPS solution across the enterpirse to maximize ROI?
We get this question quite a bit. Often, larger organizations have divisions or departments that are tasked with “finding a GPS solution that will solve their needs”. In the end, that solution does just that…solves ONE group’s needs. The group tasked with choosing a GPS fleet management solution will examine the wants, needs, must haves, delighter’s, etc. with their lens on, often overlooking synergy between other departments. Most often, the transportation department will not be consulted or considered when buying ASSET based GPS fleet management devices. That’s too bad, because often times 10-30 minutes of wasted time per day per rental transport driver can be saved by dispatching the driver directly to the machine based on its exact and current location NOW…not the location of where it was dropped off. Whatever your dispatching system (white board, Nextel, yellow pad, software system) just providing transport with a means to know exactly where their pick up located vs. guessing
