All businesses can benefit from some type of GPS system, whether it be used to track the items in your company, or to track the behavior of employees in the company. These systems work especially well for companies that own fleets of vehicles, and those that own computers (pretty much all of them at this point). In this article, we will look at systems that work well for these types of businesses so that you can learn which ones might benefit your company in the event that something gets stolen.
Businesses with Fleets of Vehicles
If you own a business that keeps multiple vehicles (auto dealerships, rental car establishments, taxi services, and commercial trucking companies) then you are probably always thinking about ways to protect your assets, whether those are products being transmitted with your vehicles, or the vehicles themselves. Below are two systems on the market that are used for commercial purposes by many companies to ensure that no one drives off with their precious and valuable items.
Shadow Tracker 2000
The Shadow Tracker 2000 is a great GPS system for businesses that need continuous updates on the status of their vehicles, whether their employees are driving them - or a complete stranger. This system offers software that allows you to watch the status of all the vehicles you track at the same time on a virtual map. On this map, you can see where each vehicle is driving, how fast it is traveling, and what times it has arrived where it should go. Also, data is automatically downloaded on the what's, when's, and where's of each vehicle as they reach their appropriate destination, so you can literally keep tabs on many aspects of your business automatically be setting it to do so. With all of these features available with the product, it is guaranteed to let you know when an unauthorized person is driving one of your vehicles - just what the doctor ordered.
Locator 2000
The Locator 2000 is another GPS system created to keep tabs on your vehicles and lets you view each vehicle's location and status, such as whether the car is stopped, moving, idling - and it is viewable in real time. Also, you can look at past records of each vehicle in your fleet to compare data so that you can get the most effective use out of each of your vehicles and how they are operated. And if you run a service that dispatch each vehicle, you can determine on a map, which is closest to your customers so that they can save time and gas money on each trip. Of course, this system, like the Shadow Tracker, can help you in the event any one in your fleet is stolen, so you get a wide number of benefits for the price of one.
Computrace
A GPS system that can be of huge benefit to all companies is Computrace. This product allows you to place a "bug" in one or more of your laptops and PCs so that you can track not only where they are in your company (or beyond if you have employees who work from home) but also what activities occur on those computers. If a computer is stolen from where it should be, you simply contact Computrace's Recovery Team and they will work with law enforcement to get it back. Also, if you one of your employees has suspicious behavior on a computer, you can watch their every move to make sure they don't put your company in danger.
A GPS system is more than a device that can help you navigate through a busy urban area - it can keep your business safe. So it is definitely a good strategy to purchase one of these devices for your company. You never know, it just might be your GPS system that saves the most important items your company owns.
