Vehiclepath GPS Fleet Tracking Goes Mobile

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint

SAN DIEGO – Vehiclepath has made GPS fleet tracking available to handheld devices like a PDA or cell phone with browser capabilities. This new feature allows fleet managers to view their fleets from the road.

"The ability to view vehicle locations on a mobile device provides a great benefit to our fleet customers when they're out of the office. They can quickly see whether a driver has completed a service call, made a delivery, or is stuck at a customer location," said Mark Wells, President and CEO of Vehiclepath. "Fleet managers shouldn't be tied down to the office. The data should be readily available to them in the field."

Being able to track vehicle locations via a mobile device is something Vehiclepath customers have been requesting for the past few months. Customers can log in via http://www.vehiclepath.com/mobile/index.php and select the vehicle they want to track. They can see the last 50 locations along with the date, time, address, speed, and whether the vehicle is moving or stopped.

If a vehicle is stolen, fleets can track the location of the vehicle from anywhere. They don't have to wait until they get back to the office or to their home computer. With a few clicks, they will know their vehicle's location.

Fleet Becomes an Epicenter for Interdepartmental Encroachment

By Mike Antich
Interdepartmental conflicts are common in the medical and IT industries, and at most companies between sales and operations. However, for many years, fleet existed as a realm of its own. Management in other departments often didn’t fully understand the nuances of fleet management other than they got a new vehicle every 36 months. Fleet managers of that era (not that long ago) were the “kings” and “queens” of their own realms. However, that reality is rapidly changing.

Strategic Fleet Management Focuses on Management by Objective

By Mike Antich
The greatest challenge facing the future of fleet management is how we see ourselves as a profession. Are we administrators of a fleet or are we managers? Do we manage from a tactical level – putting out day-to-day fires – or from a strategic level focusing on specific long-term objectives using metrics to benchmark progress? In the future, you will need a strategic focus to succeed in fleet management; otherwise you run the risk of fading into irrelevancy.
