Vehicle tracking is well known for stopping employees from using company vehicles out of office hours and stopping them from skiving off in office hours. Now vehicle tracking has been used for not only this, but to catch people in the act of committing petty crimes in company vehicles.
Such petty crimes included fly tipping, dogging, buying illegal drugs and unlicensed taxi driving. Doing such things in company vehicles especially if the company name is printed down the side of the van can bring the company reputation into question.
With vehicle tracking you can put a stop to such activities before they become a problem that the Police have to deal with.
Another activity that GPS vehicle tracking systems can help put an end to is using the company vehicle to do other jobs, basically moonlighting in the company vehicle. Such moonlighting jobs which employees have been caught doing are take away delivery, catalogue delivery, man with a van jobs, building jobs, plumbing jobs, electrician jobs, handyman jobs and satellite installation to name just a few.
This type of use of company vehicles is frowned upon because it costs the company money and can be bad for their reputation if the vehicle has the businesses brand on the side.
