GPS Fleet Management Systems are also referred to as:
GPS Fleet Management encompasses many functions and tasks, from purchasing or leasing the fleet vehicles, to maintenance, route planning, service and delivery management, dispatch management and much more. One of the fastest growing areas in GPS Fleet Management is GPS Vehicle Tracking, or GPS Fleet Tracking. These systems enable Fleet Managers and business owners to better manage their fleet vehicles by knowing where they are and where they have been.
In the leading systems there is no software, at least no software to download. The leading Fleet Management Tool is 100% Real-Time, Web-Based systems, that provide complete functionality through common browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox. They provide significant amounts of data about the vehicles and their traveling patterns. There are two primary kinds of GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems - Active and Passive.
Active systems utilize wireless networks that allow you to receive data from all of the vehicles in your fleet and view the location of any or all of your vehicles in near “real-time”. Real-Time GPS Fleet Management has long been the standard for companies or individuals who wish to monitor fleet vehicles as well as tracking assets (trailers, generators, heavy equipment). These systems are cost-effective, easy to use, and are virtually maintenance free since most require no installation of software on your server or workstation.
The most advanced Fleet Management Systems include a wide range of reports and alerts to provide immediate feedback of any unusual or undesired activity. Features of the MARCUS® Real-time GPS Fleet Management system include 19 user-defined reports, 16 Real Time Alerts, Automated email delivery of reports, vehicle maintenance, routing and driving directions, two way messaging, and 90 days of historical data. Specific reports and alerts include start/stop reports, real-time zone alerts, customer job site alerts, and speed alerts.
