March 2007 - Parasol adds Vehicle Tracking
To optimise our fleet's productivity we installed a vehicle tracking system to monitor
our vehicles. Each vehicle is fitted with a tracking device which reports a vehicles
location and speed, displaying the data, in real time, on a digital map. From the
data generated for each journey we can analyse our vehicle and driver performance.
This has enabled us to plan routes and our fleet's efficiency, and plan routes,
avoid traffic jams, manage fuel consumption and monitor driving behaviour.
