Choosing Between In–Vehicle Fleet Tracking and Handheld GPS Tracker Device

Vehicle Fleet Tracking and Handheld GPS Tracker DeviceThe competitive business landscape demands every organization to maximize its efficiency and reduce costs. A good US fleet tracking GPS solution allows organizations to build better operational efficiency into their workforce and save considerably in fuel as well as labor costs.

While choosing a GPS fleet management solution, business owners must focus on a number of factors like investment costs, ROI, reliable GPS tracker provider and so on. In that long list of decisions to be made while investing in the US fleet tracking solution, there is one essential choice that must be analyzed with care. Read on to find out more.

In-Vehicle Versus Handset – Based GPS Fleet tracking

The in-vehicle GPS tracker device installed within the vehicle captures information constantly and sends it to the software through high speed wireless connection. On the other hand, a GPS enabled device (mobile phone) can be used to capture information and can be sent through the mobile phone to the software.

The in-vehicle system is more expensive and is also 100% tamper-proof. This system provides a more consistent and powerful performance through its high-quality antennas.

The major benefits of the handheld include easy deployment and low cost. Handheld GPS-enabled mobile phones can be used for regular communication purposes too. The device must be handled with care when working across rough terrains.

While both solutions have their own set of pros and cons, some companies also employ a combination of both technologies to enjoy the best of both worlds. The decision, however, ultimately depends upon the fleet management team.
