High Gas Prices Push Need For GPS Vehicle Tracking/Routing
With gas prices again topping $3, business owners are scrambling to find new ways to save money at the gas pumps. One Cleveland-based company, SageQuest, offers a total fleet management solution, and is helping businesses around Northeast Ohio and nationwide document fuel cost savings through improved driver routing, real time tracking, and automated reporting.
Using GPS-based technology, proprietary software and hardware, SageQuest enables company owners and dispatchers to route their drivers to designated locations in the shortest amount of time. Since the product operates in real time, the built-in mapping software lets supervisors track the movement of their vehicles, cutting down on wasted mileage and unauthorized vehicle use.
A built-in vehicle maintenance module alerts supervisors when it’s time for an oil change, tire rotation, or 3,000 mile tune-up, for example, and can accommodate fleets of all sizes. The product also provides real-time notification if a driver is speeding. All of these features deliver a streamlined, effective and efficient end result: total fleet management, improved productivity and documented fuel savings. One SageQuest customer has realized a 700 gallon per month decrease in fuel consumption by eliminating unauthorized use. Their payback is $145.83 per month, per vehicle, in fuel savings. Other fuel savings examples are available.
