MAXIMISING EFFICIENCY AND COST SAVINGS FOR SEASONAL BUSINESS

INTRO

Today, demand for GPS trackers continues to grow as companies recognise their potential to save money and increase efficiency. According to the report, fleet management systems are estimated to generate monthly savings of more than $6,000 for a medium-sized fleet of 20 vehicles. However, installing vehicle trackers for seasonal businesses with small fleets can be a significant investment, but there is a way to get around this.

CHALLENGE

Installing GPS trackers in seasonal businesses that operate during certain seasons or times of the year can be a challenging investment for companies. For example, equipping a fleet of 10 vehicles in the US can cost an average of $2,000 to $4,500 per year, while the installation for each vehicle can range from $50 to $125.

Although tracking devices could offer a valuable advantage to various seasonal businesses across different sectors. One of the industries that faces the challenge of a temporary tracking solution is agriculture, because a GPS tracker only needs to be installed for two-three months during specific seasons like planting and harvesting and companies do not choose to implement it.

However, it could help with efficient resource allocation, precision farming, equipment monitoring and crop management. In fact, according to a study conducted by Motorola, GPS-enabled fleet management results in a time savings of approximately 54 minutes per day for transport operations. This translates into a cost saving of $5,484 per employee.

This challenge is also faced during the winter/snow races. For the only seasonal event, the possibility of using GPS is not being considered. However, it could be useful to enhance the safety of participants, provide valuable performance data or assist with course monitoring and marking. The same applies to the fleet management of vehicles used for snow removal services - cleaning, salting, or snow clearing from city streets.

Such seasonal services could use Teltonika trackers and IoT technology assistance to optimise routes and manage incidents in the event of equipment failure or breakdown. And when the season is over, these GPS trackers could easily be installed in another fleet, especially if the vehicles are used for different functions or events.
