Getting a driver directly from point A to point B is the most efficient way for a business to operate. You might have costed a project using the time and distance you calculated, but how can you be sure it’s correct? Has a project ended up costing you money rather than making you money?
Client Story:
A client ran a waste business. They went in with what they thought was a good price on a contract and expected to make a good profit. After a while when the profits failed to materialise, they worked out that the driver hadn’t been following the route they had wanted. He thought that he knew a better way, but this was costing more time and fuel … and the owners their profit.
Consider this:
How do you know your drivers are driving the way you costed your job? Are they taking the shortest and most efficient route, or the route that suits them?
GPS trackers will allow your drivers to make quicker (and cheaper) deliveries. Lower fuel, running, and labour costs equals more profit for your business. Trackers will provide you with the ability to check that the driver drove in the most efficient route, giving you an edge when quoting new business as you will have high confidence in the accuracy of your project costing.
