resources canbeoptimised
too.
9. EnhanceCustomer Service
Fasten the
response time
to customers

concern for everyparent.
•It is impossible to call up school every day to know the status of their students and at
the sametime it is difficult for schools to manage school busesor school
transportation.
•Themanagement does haveatough time managing afleet of school buses/ cabs
while taking care of student’s securitysimultaneously.
•Thisis exactly where GPStracking systemcanhelp schools, parents, & fleet
management secure students & easetheir operations.
Introduction
14. Alerts

Geo
fencing
This helps school authorities, fleet managers aswell
asparents to locate the exact location of the school
bus carrying students.

stakeholders canbe notified about schoolvehicle
having entered or left thespecific area
Parents receives notification for departure of their
child from school aswell arrival at school.Analertsis
also sent when the vehicle is one stop prior totheirs.

Thesystemallows admins to monitor an entire trip
even after its completion. Accordingly, routes canbe
optimised for drivers to avoid confusion for parents as
well asschool authorities.
The system can be accessed by stakeholders through
mobile devices, giving ease of operations. The stake-
holders receive notification through SMS&Emails
Thesystemgenerates automated reports like Mileage
Report, advanced Geo-fence reports, Moving overview,
Stayreport, etc. that canbe used to analyseoperations.

Takinginto consideration all the stops, the GPStracking
systemhelps in taking the shortest or the mostoptimised
route to savetime & follow timelineconsistently.
TheGPStracking systemsavesdriver’s data aswell as
vehicle maintenance data and reminds for their particular
updates keeping vehiclesproperly & timely serviced.
Mainten-

Introduction
20. •AGPSor vehicle tracking
systemsfirstly helps to choose
the shortest or the mostefficient

•Avehicle tracking system can help
to avoid routes with heavy traffic &
even pre-define a route for specific
areas.
•Pre-defining routes cansavetime
aswell asfuel expense, reduce
confusion & efforts whileincreasing
efficiency & productivity
•Businessowners cansavefuel

history data and route planning,
aswell asunproductive work.
Optimal Trip Management
21. Better Efficiency and greater ROI
•VehicleTrackinggivesdetailed
data about fuel mileage,
driver’s behaviour (over-speed,
rash braking, etc.), and engine’s
idle time, sothat usersare
aware of the drivers work and
errant drivers canbeidentified.
•It also helps them reduce fuel
consumption and unnecessary
overtime costs.
•In casean idle vehicle is
identified, immediate trip can
be assignedto it in that
particular area.Thusmore trips
per dayare made and more
trips convert into more
business.
•Geo-fence alerts admin if any
vehicle is being usedbeyond a
virtual set perimeter during
non-working hours or for non-
assigned trips.
•In caseof accident or vehicle
breakdown the driver cannotify
the admin with an alert upon
which they cantake immediate
action and cansavefurther time
& losses.
•Also,recorded data canhelp in
taking business decisions
efficiently. Also,costssaving&
productivity up scaling areascan
be identified and acted upon.
22. •Thesystemhelps managers
to run the operations
efficiently and effectivelywith
its data & functionalities.
•Theautomatically uploaded
data is maintained by the
system& canbe usedfor
analysis or billing accurately.
•Asadmin canmonitor the
vehicles ‘Live’ and all the
time, the safety of food, the
delivery person & and that
of vehicles canbepreserved.
•Also,drivers canbe
communicated in caseof any
need, and vice versa.Thus
work operations canbedone
efficiently by such2-
way communication.
•Data related to vehicles &
drivers is maintained with
the GPS tracking & it
reminds the user well in
advance for its
update/renewal, saving
user from further
consequences.
EnhancedDataManagement and
Communication
23. •In caseof battery power-cut
or lossof network, thedevices
are equipped with internal
battery & memory backup
that records the activity of
vehicles and uploads it to the
server when network restores.
•Theautomatically uploaded
data canbe analyzed and used
for taking businessdecisions
•Sub-managers canbe
assignedto monitor &
operate aset of vehicles
depending on their routes
through avehicle tracking
system,thus reducing
workload on single
admin.Theaccesscanbe
limited to admin set
functionalities of thesystem,
thus the security of system&
its data canbe preserved.
•With the help of automated
data & digital time keeping,
billing accuracyismaintained.
•Also,order dispatch timing
canbe helpful to avoid or
resolve consumer issues.

25. •Following a vehicle breakdown, the vehicle owners are left anxious and
they seek tow trucks services in such situations.
•Satisfying such apprehensive customer is often difficult and requires
some extra efforts by the service providers to satisfy them.
