Today, the era of technological advancements is widely accepting the technique of GPS vehicle tracking system, this system is meant to make our life more safe and secure but it also adds high level of efficiency in each operation.
As every coin has two sides, people believe that GPS vehicle tracker is unnecessary to use in life and also it symbolizes doubt in the employee’s mind about their conduct but it just influences company to commit from their employees for their safety and security at all times within their presence.
MYTH 1. We don’t need GPS tracking because we trust our people.
This is a myth that installing a tracker against employees is about to monitor their each move but it is actually to keep the track on operating costs and inefficiencies in the field. GPS Trackers have been very much helpful to reduce and maintain fuel costs, increase routing and dispatching efficiency, enhances the drivers safety provisions and also helps to increase the frequency to become answerable to customer’s transportation related queries.
MYTH 2. All our drivers will quit if we get GPS tracking.
Many of the customers proved wrong this myth by adding their experience that after installing GPS vehicle tracking system their drivers depends on it for various purposes like, it provides route information and also helps to verify their work performed on time, etc. Even, GPS trackers eliminate the time-consuming paperwork and provide additional security for both drivers and cargo while on road.
MYTH3. GPS vehicle tracking devices are complicated to install and use.
Nowadays, people tends to engage in fleet management solutions to manage and organize their fleets. Basic components involved in Fleet tracking systems are:
a) a tracker to be installed in the vehicle,
b) a user interface that organizes and displays information of the vehicle. Both installation and platform of tracking are easy and user-friendly.
A GPS vendors works with Fleet managers to-
- Interpret the system data and improve the operational efficiencies
- Provide easily accessible technical and sales support to cover service related issues.
MYTH4. GPS is unnecessary:
Fleet owners own a myth that they can track their vehicles just by installing an application but eventually the procedure begins with the installation of GPS trackers and mobile phones/ handhelds provide the information on behalf of the tracker installed in the vehicle. Here GPS tracker becomes the major instances for the purpose.
MYTH5. All GPS tracking systems are essentially equal.
This statement is partially true as to select the GPS tracking service provider technology is not the major criterion, where experienced users knows the value of the service provider and service contracted.
It is not right to set all the tracking related demands on same surface. GPS tracking systems goes much beyond the tracking dots on a map.
With the different sets of requirement, customer can determine much interest in learning about the upgrading technologies that can transform their business.

MYTH7. My company can’t afford a GPS tracking system.
GPS tracking System does not involve huge investment; it majorly requires investment in hardware for each vehicle and a monthly data fee and wireless platform.
Thus, this system helps to easily identify the inefficiencies and practices that are held in the field that includes excess overtime, inefficient routing, excess engine idling, etc. as these practices often costs inefficient monthly requirement.
Therefore, this system helps to reduce this cost and maintain the vehicle related expenses.
MYTH8. GPS tracking is an unproven technology.
GPS tracking system has very much proved its power in technology by giving accuracy in location and tracking the objects at real-time using satellites and wireless communications. Now, with the updated market this core technology is throughout the consumer and their needs.
Therefore, in commercial applications, GPS systems’ effectiveness in increasing productivity and reducing operational costs.
