LBT FLEET: Built to Deliver Benefits & Cut Costs for Our Customers

GPS tracking is about more than just a location on a map. It entails active alerting when vehicles enter or leave zones or speed, reports for past location history, and a systems interface built to easily manage it all. In this article we’d like to share with you what you get with Location Based Technologies’ (LBT) FLEET service and how some of our customers are realizing savings that pay for the trackers and service & realizing increases in customer service, efficiencies and more. LBT is best known by our consumer brand name, PocketFinder. But when it comes to tracking and managing your drivers and vehicle assets, LBT FLEET will allow you to take full advantage of all GPS tracking has to offer at industry-competitive prices.

FLEET is best thought of as additional features designed for businesses looking for the full benefits of GPS. This means the consumer features come standard for all FLEET users. This includes unlimited GPS locates, unlimited devices on your account, unlimited zones (geo-fencing), power cut alerts, and speed alerts. Along with this there is a 60 day rolling history and downloadable reporting for each device where you can view previous tracking on a map or spreadsheet.

But these are just the basics. While these features will make routine business easier, it is FLEET that provides you with the tools to go forward with any changes that need to be made to improve logistics, align management, reallocate vehicles, and cut costs.

White Wire

With the vehicle tracker properly hardwired and installed, a third wire can be connected to record engine on/off times as well as idling time. As you will read below, you can download reports of the white wire activity for each driver. This allows you to see how long vehicles unnecessarily idle. If idling and running the A/C or heat or heat for extended periods, that burns fuel and increases costs. With the White Wire, you can zero in on this issue and ensure your vehicles maintain proper fuel consumption. 

With White Wire, business owners like Stanley Cooper were able to convert this data into fuel savings of over $300!

Zone Bank

For standard users, zones are device specific. This means if you have 10 devices, you have to make that Homebase zone 10 times. But with FLEET, the Zone Bank allows you to make the zone once, then assign it to any device on your account. You can then download reports to see zone activity by specific zone or specific device.

So, if you have work vehicles that need to make it to a worksite at a specific time, you can both ensure they arrived at the site, but also ensure they arrived on time. This way, you have the hard data, if any client claims your employees were late or even no-shows.

Business owners like Barry use Zones so they know for a fact all vehicles and assets are where they are supposed to be at the end of the day. While Kathy uses Zones to ensure her customers are safe and stay away from “No Go” areas.

Reports

Along with the White Wire and Zone reports, there is Daily Activity which records Start and Stop times. The Speed report records every time a device sends a speed alert. And the PTO report is often utilized by tow truck companies to record when the tow cable is in use. 

With these and several other reports, you can better manage your vehicles and driver behavior to ensure that not only are logistics smooth, but fuel costs are reduced.

Manage Sub Accounts

For standard users, your team logs in with one administrative credential. But with FLEET, you can build a network of tiered sub accounts and choose whether they have administrative or “view only” access. This allows you to set up each manager with their own administrative access and only monitor specific devices. You can then have supervisors beneath them have their own credentials to then only view specific devices, and so on. This tiered access is utilized by all size businesses as it is one more tool for accountability and streamlining vehicle management.
