Premium location-based services in Norway by Daniel Edibe? Early GPS was used for military purposes, helping military units keep tabs on important vehicles during missions. At this time, the general public was aware of GPS, but didn’t seem to have any sort of interest in the technology. It wasn’t until 1996 that US President Bill Clinton helped the public see the mass-market potential of GPS—he was very outspoken about the possibilities of GPS for the military and civilians alike, and issue a policy directive that developed a dual-use GPS satellite system that could be used for the interests of the general public. This policy change allowed the average civilian to gain access to GPS technology, including fleet managers—who initially saw the benefits of being able to keep tabs on the locations of their vehicles.

Before discussing some of the best tracking technologies, let’s first discuss the critical nature of fleet management! What is Fleet Management? Fleet management refers to fleet managers’ methods to manage all aspects of their fleet and assets, from purchase through disposal. It helps businesses save money, increase efficiency, and assure compliance throughout their fleet operation. Connecteam is an employee management tool that enables you to keep track of your team members’ work hours. With its simple-to-use employee time clock, you can keep track of your employees on jobs, projects, customers, and other duties.

Fuel management solutions developed in the emerging markets are now available for fleet managers worldwide: It is our experience that nearly 100% of our fleet management customers in Africa experience fuel theft. This is an unfortunate reality whether you are an NGO or a fleet owner across any number of industries. We estimate that on average, theft is between 10 – 30 liters, per trip for a tank of 400 liters. Tramigo fuel management solutions provide organizations with the control and transparency needed to stop fuel theft in its different forms completely. Additionally, Tramigo provides the data and tools for even further savings by identifying and reducing practices and behaviors which result in unnecessarily high fuel consumption.

Fleet telematics is a form of technology that transmits data from commercial trucks to another party. Examples of fleet telematics currently in use include satellite freight tracking, vehicle tracking and electronic logging devices. The idea of telematics was introduced in the 1960s before personal computers and the Internet. A closer look at the history of GPS tracking devices and fleet telematics can show how beneficial they are to your fleet. In terms of real-life examples, GPS is used extensively in mobile applications such as Google Maps, in devices that are fitted onto cars, and extensively for security purposes. All of our mobile phones are actually GPS enabled, which means that our location and movement can essentially be tracked at all times. GPS is also used for military purposes, the internet, signal detection and logistics.
