GPS Vehicle Tracking Devices Cut Vehicle High Jacking By 50%

In Manila, Philippines fleet managers have longed for a technological solution on how to manage the high risks associate with deploying vehicles carrying high value goods on unsafe roads. Fleet managers now have the answer to their problems in the form of GPS vehicle tracking systems.

GPS vehicle tracking devices allows the fleet manager to monitor the location of all their vehicles in real time. It allows them to make sure a driver is following the intended route and not been hijacked. It also helps a fleet manager to make sure drivers are not taking extended breaks or lunch breaks.

This type of technological solution allows a company to offer clients a more accurate delivery time, and if a delivery is overdue it allows a fleet manager to view the exact location of a vehicle and enables them to contact the client and give them a revised time.

Companies who have begun using GPS vehicle tracking systems have already seen a 50% reduction of vehicles being high jacked. As soon as a vehicle starts deviated from its assigned route the fleet manager contacts the driver, if he doesn’t respond or gives an unsatisfactory answer he then contacts the police, who then dispatch a patrol car to investigate.
