. Benefits of Installing Vehicle Tracking Units (VTU) :

Installing a vehicle tracking system into your fleet can be an expensive operation;however the benefits of vehicle tracking are myriad and may just leave you wondering how you managed without a tracking system for so long.

Vehicle tracking systems, and especially the GPS car tracking device, have grown in popularity over the past few years and with good reason. With the astronomical rise of car hijackings and theft on Nigerian roads, fitting a tracking device in your vehicle can offer some peace of mind and a sense of assurance that should your vehicle get stolen, there is an increased chance of it being retrieved and back in your possession in no time; WHETHER YOU HAVE CAR INSURANCE OR NOT. Vehicle trackers provide an even bigger advantage for business owners.

The biggest advantage of having a GPS vehicle tracking device is its panic button which is used in instances of an emergency; this can range from a common hijacking of your vehicle, a collision with other vehicles which may cause minor damage to your car, etc. With a simple push of the button, an agent at the car tracking company can monitor what exactly is happening in real time; they will only proceed to communicate with you, offer assistance and assess the situation if they deem it safe on your behalf to do so – if it is dangerous to contact you however (if there is a robbery or a hijacking taking place), they will then proceed to promptly contact the officials, i.e. the police. The car tracking device also enables you to monitor any activity or movement which concerns your car; this could include having your child or teenager use your vehicle without your knowledge or your permission. The tracking company will monitor and locate the exact position of your vehicle and involve the police if and when necessary, who will then recover it. A vehicle tracking device is also beneficial for tracking or monitoring your vehicle’s mileage or the kilometres it travels on a daily to weekly to monthly basis, and this can help you a great deal when getting car insurance as some insurance companies have car insurance options that only charge you per mileage – what this means is that your premiums may be decreased substantially if you are an occasional driver as opposed to someone who drives more regularly.

As a business owner, installing a vehicle tracking system on your fleet has several benefits – even though it may be a tad costly, the return makes it so much more worthwhile. For example, the rate your fleet may be travelling and the number of stops your employee takes to refuel and rest can be tracked, making you more aware of any unnecessary activity that may take place. What the installation of a tracking system means for your clients is a more accurate billing method, preventing you from charging them more than you need to. By monitoring your fleet, you are also able to determine which routes work, which ones are quicker and less fuel consuming, saving you money in the process; and imagine how much money you avoid wasting by ensuring that your expensive fleet of trucks, etc. is harder to get stolen or hijacked due to your smart idea of having a GPS tracking installed? The benefits are truly endless.

One major thing to consider however before choosing a car tracking device service provider and signing on the dotted line is whether they are licensed to offer the service: in Nigeria NCC is the licencing body. It is also advantageous to compare rates and the services offered, what exactly is covered and the exact terms of use to prevent yourself from paying more than you have to. You will be alerted of any progress of the delivery of your goods to your various clients, an estimate of arrival times can be determined more accurately and any possible delays can be addressed in real time.
