Portable GPS Tracking Device & Solutions

A portable GPS monitoring system can benefit anyone. They are energy-efficient, low-power, and low-cost, but come with high business value. For business owners, it can be used to track the position of their fleet or equipment or to monitor the behavior of their employees. For individuals, portable positioning systems can be used by families to keep tabs on the elderly, young children, or pets, and can be invaluable in ensuring peace of mind. Travelers can also attach GPS tracking device to their luggage to prevent it from getting lost or stolen.

Portable GPS Tracking Devices and Solutions

A portable GPS tracking device provides features that work with your unique needs, using long-life batteries to avoid the need for external power or antennas. Portable units are also smaller, some the size of a car key, and because of their small size, they can be easily rotated between assets.

When selecting a global position tracker, consumers will have to decide if they want an active (real-time) or passive tracker. Passive trackers do not allow users to follow every move that a tracked person or object makes: the information must be retrieved and then downloaded onto a computer. These types of tracker device are usually more affordable.

Active trackers, on the other hand, process and deliver data in real-time using a SIM and a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) transceiver. Dispatchers receive real-time information via the GSM cellular network, allowing them to closely monitor their assets or people.

Benefits of Battery-Powered GPS Tracking Devices

In cases where the vehicle or asset has no power, battery-powered GPS monitoring units are a must, and they are intended to be used mainly for passive tracking. Their benefits include:

• Increased Productivity: If a customer calls with an urgent need, it’s easy to locate the closest field vehicle and re-route it. Not only does this increase productivity, but it also improves customer satisfaction and provides increased opportunities for additional income.
• Faster Vehicle Recovery: If a vehicle is stolen, knowing its exact location allows you to recover it faster, also reducing the risk of vandalism. This also helps with…
• Reduced Insurance Costs: The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) reports that nearly 1,000 pieces of commercial equipment are stolen each month in the United States. GPS asset tracking provides a cost-effective way of dealing with that concern while also offering multiple other benefits to your business and its relationship with your insurance company.
• Improved Operational Awareness: Monitoring your drivers means that you can identify and mitigate unsafe or costly driving habits.
• Improved Inventory Management: As your fleet tracking grows, the number of assets you manage increases, which can be challenging for your administrative staff. Battery-powered global position tracking can help you keep an accurate count of each asset and optimize equipment deployment.
• Track Asset Utilization: The ability to track asset usage by each project will help you recognize where you can improve the cost analysis.
• Reduced Administration Paperwork: Instead of manually organizing data with a greater chance of error, detailed reports are automatically generated and filed.
• Improved Maintenance Management: Be proactive and timely with scheduled maintenance through diagnostic alerts. This can reduce downtime and prevent accidents due to equipment failure.
• Protection of Employee Health and Safety: If you’re not able to reach one of your drivers for a protracted period of time, you can see how long they’ve been at their last location and respond to any potential safety or health issue in a timely manner.
• Improved Fuel Efficiency: By analyzing the data generated on typical routes, you can redirect your vehicles accordingly and maximize efficiency.
• Redeployment vs. Additional Rentals: Knowing the status of each asset allows you to make an informed decision about renting more equipment versus redeploying current assets instead.

With all of our products, you can choose exactly what you want to monitor, as well as the frequency of the reporting, in order to best meet your specific business needs.
