 Driver Navigation and Vehicle Tracking
The technological advances and growth in commercial use of GPS for navigation purposes is enabling more businesses than ever the access to real time information that can literally transform their business operations. TouchStar have been involved in GPS navigation ever since businesses showed an interest in the technology. Our robust, connective hardware, and versatile software solutions have given us a firm foundation on which to develop real solutions offering significant benefits to any fleet operation.
Improved Operational Efficiency
Optimising the road use of a fleet of vehicles can sheer away wasted time and fuel costs. The use of GPS in conjunction with GPRS allows real-time tracking, the ability to check job/vehicle status and to use this to react to last minute unplanned jobs. TouchStar hardware integrates seamlessly with a variety of application software suites that govern processes such as proof of delivery, proof of collection and driver communication. For example, the next delivery or job address can be automatically passed to the navigation system from the delivery manifest, thus eliminating the need for the driver to key in any address or postcode.
TouchStar mobile data systems are particularly suited to fuel distributor operations where ad hoc delivery and collection and multi-drop environments are commonplace. Our fuel clients have found significant operational value by providing the driver with real time navigational guidance. Greater visibility of driver routes and road networks helps drivers to effectively plan routes, avoiding traffic delays and making the whole process more flexible, efficient and cost effective.
Enhanced Customer Service
GPS vehicle navigation can enable businesses to provide a professional and efficient service that surpasses customer expectations. Improved communication can be achieved through the ability to inform customers if there has been a hold up on route with an ETA. Better visibility of job status ensure that deliveries are never missed and ensures they are on time every time.
Improved Fleet Security
Greater fleet visibility enables better control of your fleet security. The GPS navigation software can ensure that vehicles are being driven carefully and legally, subsequently alerting businesses to instances of speeding, breaches of vehicle security and unplanned stops at barred locations. It can also ensure that businesses are alerted when their drivers are nearing their hours quota, thus ensuring that you always meet all legal regulations.
