Fleet tracking has become commonplace with the American military allowing GPS to used by the public and for personal uses as well. A transportation company that needs to keep track of schedules, the packages that they are delivering and the movements of their employees obviously improves their chances of completing the job in time without facing unforeseeable delays.

And while this seems to be the most plausible business that tracking GPS effects positively, a slew of businesses have benefited from this approach as it not only helps them protect their assets but increases timeliness and profitability.

Using the satellites that are in space, one can get the time and position of any vehicle or asset with which the tracking device is attached to, ensuring greater accuracy and the ability to plan routes or track its whereabouts on a daily basis.

With companies who use real-time GPS devices receiving lower insurance rates apart from all these other benefits, publication transportation also can do a lot with GPS tracking fleet management that not only helps them determine costs per mile especially when there are so many vehicles on the road at any given point of time.

Not only does this eliminate unnecessary costs in terms of excessive fuel consumption, billing errors, fleet maintenance, unauthorized vehicle use and over-time expenses but it can provide safety to employees in being able to provide them with direct assistance and support.

And if this system can make such changes to businesses and protect property from being lost or stolen, one can only imagine how effective GPS is, when it comes to its applications in the matters of national defense.
