Don't be Soft on Soft Costs....use GPS
Hard costs of doing business are easy to measure....fuel; tires, equipment, etc. are easy to measure. Soft costs are not, that is they weren't until now. Soft costs include such things as fleet downtime and driver safety. Let's look at these two soft costs and how to calculate the cost to your business.
Downtime of your fleet costs money, that much is obvious. But how much does it cost? Let's have a look:
COST =
$750 x 2 days =$1,500 per month
$1,500 x 12 months = $18,000 per year
SAVINGS =
25% savings X $18,000 (year) =
$4,500
In this scenario having downtime of 2 vehicles for one 1 day, twice a month produces a cost of $18,000 per year, provided a down day costs $750, which can vary by industry.
Using a GPS fleet tracking system can save 25% of downtime through remote vehicle diagnostics. This can equate to a savings of $4,500 per year!
Safe driving is more than peace of mind, its money!
Industry studies average the costs to a business per vehicle accident between $6,000 and $12,000. GPS fleet tracking can monitor driving speeds, which can reduce the amount of speeding occurring within a company vehicle. A reduction in accidents of only 5% for a 50 vehicle fleet adds up to a savings of between $18,000 and $36,000 per year.

Sleeping (Not So) Beauty
We'll all seen it, or most of us have; workers sitting around, slacking off, and obviously not being productive. In fact, some of us have probably been the slacker at one point.
There is no doubt that this lack of productivity costs the employees company money. Now lets make the scenario even worse. What if the workers are slacking off in an idling company vehicle? Talk about costs; labor, time, fuel, wear & tear on the engine, pollution...this list could go on. So how do you stop the afternoon nap in the company truck? Easy. Watch your company vehicle every minute it is in the hands of the employee. Easy you say? With GPS vehicle tracking it is.
A Global Positioning System installed in a vehicle can tell the owner when the vehicle is running, when it is stopped, and when it is running while stopped. Of course it can also tell you about oil changes, possible mechanical problems, how to get to the grocery store, and mileage......but I digress.
Installing GPS tracking on your company vehicles can help prevent this.....Hard at Work?

Throwing Money Away?
Every company throws money away. But where does it go? Here are 3 places it disappears to that can be stopped.
1) Gas is not cheap; and it seems like that this statement is becoming ever more amplified. Many businesses have gas expenses and in some cases, it can be one of the biggest costs of doing business. Stop the money (and gas) drain by eliminating idling. At $2.75 per gallon, one vehicle idling for 1 hour per day can cost an additional $700 per year. How may vehicles do you have in your fleet? Can you tell when they are idling? GPS enabled fleets can.
2) Overtime anyone? Employees say yes, but if it is unnecessary, it could be costing the company their profits. Keeping an eye on vehicle productivity using GPS is a good way to find out where the unnecessary overtime is coming from.
3) The company vehicle being used for after hours activities can be a major drain on the cost to operate a fleet. Wear and tear, gas, and depreciation all factor in to where the money is going.
