Site Safety - GPS Doesn’t Only Mean Tracking

When it comes to the construction industry, site safety should always be a major priority. One significant way to implement on-site safety is through the management and monitorization of heavy equipment. By installing GPS tracking technology on a fleet of heavy equipment, a business owner or operator can gain instant access into vehicles as well as gain real-time access to worker activities.

GPS is no longer limited to just tracking. With these useful devices  installed, vehicles can be watched and controlled remotely, and driver performance can be assessed - increasing safety, amongst many other benefits.

Control workforce fleets from afar, by having the ability to lock or unlock, power on or off, raise or lower windows, etc., from any location via a computer, tablet or smartphone. Set live-alerts for vehicle activity to be notified of anything out of the ordinary. Monitor driver behavior, inclusive of set parameters to assess performance and hours logged. In addition to tracking driver behavior you can randomly screen drivers for drug and alcohol testing. These tools help reduce the likelihood of incidents occurring!

Another feature to assist with safety measures that supplements GPS tracking are maintenance modules set to ensure an organized scheduling of vehicle maintenance. Actively maintaining equipment can prevent many accidents that come with the use of heavy machinery and other fleet vehicles. Pre-set parameters can determine when a vehicle or piece of heavy equipment is due for maintenance, and send alert reminders. This feature ensures only necessary maintenance occurs and helps a business maintain efficiency, an important factor in construction.

For obvious reasons safety is very important in the construction industry. Fortunately, with GPS tracking and driver behavior reviewing, many safety related occurrences can be avoided if not eliminated altogether.

Increased productivity is achieved through an applications' ability to access and select any and all vehicles within a fleet. Through different map views, it is easy to see and schedule route navigations while receiving constantly updated information about current and historical locations. With the capability to manage vehicles from anywhere, work orders can even be placed and processed with the push of a button. GPS tracking of vehicles, giving exact locations and information, can then give agencies the power to communicate with riders about scheduling and timing.

 

Because of a mobile applications' ease of use, communication between drivers and operators is also made more efficient. Real time chat and messaging capabilities are accomplished as different updates and statuses arise and need to be reported. Communication is instant, making solutions to problems or concerns easy and effective. The sharing of information then quickens the decision-making process in reducing costs of fleet performances when affected, such as tracking fuel usage.
