Vehicle Tracking - the many benefits of reporting

One feature of vehicle tracking definitely worth mentioning is reports. You can view a historical overview of both the vehicle and driver's activity, setting specific requirements as to what you want to look at in seconds. Furthermore, you can set a particular report so that it gets sent to your personal email on a regular basis, without having to go to your computer and searching for a certain report every time.

In addition there is a large variety of reports that you could run, each one telling you different bits of information about either the driver or vehicle. You could access each individual trip made by a vehicle or driver by running a 'Trip report', so you could ensure that every trip is accounted for. Or, you could run an 'unauthorised trip report'. This will show you when a vehicle has been used, out of a set time frame which you will have already created. You can also check to see whether your drivers are abiding by the speed limit by running a 'Over speed report', or see how long a vehicle has been used for in one day, by running a 'Time sheet report'. This will allow you to check on how many hours an employee has been working in the day, so you can pay them an accurate wage. One more type of report worth mentioning is the 'Idle report'. This will show you if the engine has been left running for a long time while the vehicle is in a stationery position.

Personally i fell that using the reports can make a business that much more efficient, as not only can you track the whereabouts of each, individual vehicle and driver, but you can also access more detailed information like the speed of the vehicle making it much easier for an employer to keep track of vehicle activity.
