As a business owner you know that reducing costs and expenses means greater net profit.
Reducing costs sounds easy enough, but can be really hard to do.
Day-to-day tasks can make it impossible to jump into the depths and details of the company to find those golden nuggets that can be reduced or eliminated to lower operating costs.
As tough as it is to find the time, this analysis is something that must be done if we want the business to remain profitable in the long run.
That is why I want to talk about some of the costs that are harder to find and easy to solve: delivery costs.
Every business out there delivers something.
Whether your company produces a physical product or a service, it must be delivered in one way or another.
This is why every business must have a delivery process in place.
The delivery process plays a huge role in the life of any company.
In fact, it plays the biggest role, because without successful delivery of products or services, there is no revenue, and without money, there is no business at all.
Having a Fleet Tracking System In Place Is a Must It doesn't matter if you deliver pizzas or treadmills, you have a specific delivery deadline and clients' expectations are huge.
The tracking of the products being delivered, as well as the fuel, distance traveled is critical information and that many businesses often go without.
Before you know it, a driver gets a speeding ticket, an order is late, your fleet of vehicles needs repairs, and suddenly your business comes to a screeching halt and a bunch of angry customers are calling to complain.
This is a reality that every single business has to deal with.
Every accounting department knows how much money a company with a well-oiled delivery process can save and every company's customer service department knows how tough it gets when the delivery process fails.
Even the Jersey City Mayor recently announced the installation of a GPS tracking system for city vehicles.
The government also knows about the benefits of having a GPS locator in place for monitoring government vehicles, making government employees more accountable to their local taxpayers.
Mayor Steve Fulop is known for being smart about the city's resources, and if he decided to install a fleet tracking system for city vehicles, it must be saving him money and other valuable resources.
But What About the Cost of a GPS Tracking Software? Mayor Fulop said that the annual estimated cost of monitoring the vehicles would be of $ 35,000.
That is a big number for some small businesses and it is truly not an option.
Luckily, today we have mobile tracking apps.
A GPS phone tracking app allows you to monitor not only the current location of the vehicle, but its speed, past locations, time spent in each area, and much more.
The high costs of hardware alternatives due to their complicated vehicle installation process are forgotten with a mobile solution that can be installed in minutes on cell phones and tablets.
