GPS tracking: the solution to cargo theft

The problem of cargo vehicle theft, or cargo theft alone, is a problem that is present in all regions and countries. This presents a real headache for owners or managers of logistics companies, as the loads transported are often expensive. 

Fortunately, however, there is an increasingly popular solution: the GPS vehicle locator that works in all countries. This device will tell you exactly where the truck and the load are located, providing a great deal of security for both the company and the customer.

Some of the main benefits

Tracking, route delimitation and real time communication

With GPS fleet tracking, you will know where the vehicle is with the load to be transported. You will be able to see in real time what route the driver is taking, what time he left and what time he delivered the product. In addition, with the application installed on any device, you will be able to delimit the area in which you want the drivers to drive, receiving an alert if any of them leave that area. At the same time, you will have the option to communicate in real time with the drivers to find out why they took a different route.

Long battery life

There are many different satellite tracker options, and each offers a different battery life. In general, they have a long battery life, but this depends on what kind of vehicle you want to track and how long the route is. For a vehicle making local deliveries, a tracker with a battery life of two days will be fine, while a ship or truck making deliveries across the country should opt for one that lasts for weeks. 

Small and easy to fit

Another very beneficial advantage of the GPS tracker is that it is a very small device, which makes it unnoticeable to criminals, and easy to install. Thus, the company does not need an expert in installations to place the GPS tracker, but it can be done by any person, including the owner or manager of the company or the driver himself. This will save the corporation a lot of time and money, without producing any change in the correct functioning of the device.

Cargo tracking

Many GPS trackers have started to include this function that is very much sought after by the owners of logistics companies: the ability to monitor the status and temperature of the cargo. This is a great advantage for all organisations involved in the transport of sensitive cargo, such as those that require a certain temperature or cold chain maintenance, like food or medicines. With the GPS tracker, you will have a minute-by-minute report of the real-time temperature of the cargo and an alert if there is any change, so that you can act now and save time and money on losses.

GPS tracking seems to be a logistics company’s best friend!
