Easy Fleet GPS also offers tracking solutions for your assets, trailers, and equipment. It is equally important to track your assets and equipment as it is to track your vehicles. You receive the same benefits of vehicle tracking with real-time data showing where your assets are located at any time.

I speak with companies on a daily basis with two or more vehicles, and I amazed the number of companies that do not use a GPS tracking or fleet management solution. The common responses to why they do not have a solution are: too costly, I don’t need it, and my employees have worked for me forever and I trust them. I love these responses because in few sentences I can show the business owner or fleet manager the value of investing in their fleet and their employees.
There is so much more to GPS tracking than just knowing where your vehicles are, or more commonly known as dots on a map. Yes, one of the benefits is you are able to view the where, what, and when of your vehicles. This is important since you will know that your trucks are where they should be, and drove the route they should have. Simply knowing where your vehicles are located, what route they took, and how long have they been stopped will help reduce your overtime costs, eliminate unnecessary miles, unauthorized use, and help you provide accurate payroll and billing.
By monitoring speeding and idling you will see a 15-20% reduction in your fuel costs. By monitoring driver behavior, you build a safer fleet of drivers, reduce your speeding violations and accidents, reduce the wear & tear on your vehicles, and prolong the life of your vehicles.
Through our automated Vehicle Maintenance Program, you will ensure all of your vehicles are healthy and well maintained. Again, saving you money and time. Also, through our automated process your Maintenance Manager or Operations Manager won’t be bogged down with manual tracking of miles and due dates.
Customers that fully use the tools and solutions offered through Easy Fleet GPS; automated reports, instant notifications 24/7 monitoring, FuelCard, and much more, they realize the ROI in the first 30 to 45 days.
“All of our employees have integrity, unfortunately sometimes you have to prove it. Thanks to Easy Fleet GPS tracking I was able to have the data to back my employees.”
— Jim J – Jackson Landscaping
One of our landscaping maintenance companies called us and stated that one of their customers claimed that the landscape maintenance technician stole a UPS package from their house. This was a long-time customer and a long-time employee, so the company was shocked.
The customer stated that the package was delivered around 3:00 PM, and they arrived home around 6:30 PM. Through the use of the daily trip report available through our GPS Fleet Tracking solution, the company determined that the technician arrived at the residence at 8:42 AM and left at 9:18 AM. Also the company was able to determine that they had no other vehicles within 15 miles of the home the entire day.
After presenting the customer with this evidence, the customer learned that neighbor had picked up the package, since there was an increase in package theft. The customer was very appreciative of the efforts the landscape company went through to investigate his concerns. The landscaping company was also pleased that our solution protected their employee, integrity, and reputation.
“Easy Fleet GPS’s fleet tracking system puts a stop on bad employee behavior. Having that peace of mind and track-ability is worth every penny.”
— Kevin G. – Aqua Pool Service
We were approached by one of our customers, a pool maintenance company with 15 vehicles. They were experiencing an unexplained increase in the chemicals, supplies, and fuel costs, while the number of pools they were serving was not increasing. The company allowed their technicians to drive the company trucks home.
Through the use of our GPS Fleet Tracking solution, the company determined that several company vehicles were moving between 7:30pm and 10:00pm, with 15-20 minute stops at residential addresses near their homes. The company quickly realized these technicians were doing side jobs, and collecting cash payments while using the company’s chemicals, supplies, and vehicles. The company immediately addressed this issue to eliminate the unexplained increase. More importantly the company reduced their fuel costs by 15% each month.
“Having the ability to track driven routes 24/7 is so important, especially for employee accountability. Believe me when I say this, having this kind of security is truly a money-saver!”
— Jose S. – PC Patrol
We were recently approached by a security patrol company, responsible for patrolling a gated community. The security patrol company received complaints from the property manager that the homeowners have not seen the patrol cars on the property. The security company was at risk of losing their contract with this community.
We installed our GPS fleet tracking units in their vehicles. Through the use of our detailed reports and landmarks, we were able to set a boundary around the gated community, streets and houses of the homeowners who believed the patrol company was not doing its job.
Through the use of our GPS Fleet Tracking solution, the patrol company was able to show what time their patrol vehicles entered and exited the gated community and that their vehicles patrolled every street. More importantly they were able to validate to certain homeowners that their patrol cars passed by their house.
The patrol company secured a long-term contract with the property and earned contracts with two new communities that the property management company owned.
Fuel costs and vehicle maintenance costs are two of the largest expenses for companies with a fleet. Whether your company has a fleet of cars, light duty to heavy duty trucks, or a combination of all, vehicle maintenance and fuel costs continue to have a negative impact on a company’s profit.
Easy Fleet GPS provides the tools that will allow you to manage, and more importantly reduce your fuel cost, maintenance cost, and overall wear & tear on your vehicles. On average, one hour of idle time equates to one gallon of gas. By utilizing the idling reports and notifications offered by Easy Fleet GPS, business owners and fleet managers can now monitor their fleet’s idle time, and use that data to provide coaching to drivers to reduce their overall idling time. A fleet manager can receive an instant notification of drivers idling over a certain time threshold, or an automated report daily with idling violations.
Fuel and maintenance cost can be overwhelming for companies and fleet managers. Through the use of our driver behavior (speeding, acceleration, hard braking, and hard turning), reports and notifications you can identify speeding violators, whether is it based on the posted speed or a speeding threshold.
The Easy Fleet GPS solution also provides the ability to automate your regularly scheduled maintenance reminders from oil changes, air filter, tire rotations, safety checks, and anything else that is measured by miles, time, or engine hours.
The tools, reports, and notifications available through Easy Fleet GPS will allow you to reduce your idling time, speeding, improve your driver behavior, and stay ahead of the maintenance of your fleet. All of these factors will have a positive impact on your fuel costs, vehicle maintenance costs, wear & and tear on your vehicles, and extend the life of your fleet.
According to the National Equipment Register, $300 million to $1 billion worth of construction equipment is stolen annually, with less than 25% of the equipment recovered. Easy Fleet GPS provides solutions that will aid in the recovery of stolen construction equipment, assets, trailers, and any powered or non-powered equipment.
In addition to 24/7 monitoring and tracking, a business owner or fleet manager can be notified immediately when a piece of equipment leaves a company yard or job site. Our After Hours Notification will alert you immediately when the equipment is moving when it should not. Our advanced Tow Alert will notify you immediately if the equipment moves without an ignition-on event.
Our equipment tracking devices have an internal back-up battery that will last approximately 60 days, so if a thief sees the device’s power cable and cuts it, the unit will continue to track. Additionally, our devices are ruggedized and weatherproof to withstand the harshest conditions.
