Do you run a service business with a fleet of trucks?  GPS tracking on your trucks should be a critical component of your operation.  Tracking your direct and indirect time is very important.  Knowing how much your guys are spending on the job vs. on the road, picking up material, etc. Why? Because you must know how much time your employees are spending at each job.  This helps track gross margin along with comparing budgeted time vs. actual time.  The goal is not to babysit your employees but to have the ability to track time and efficiency at each stop for the day.  It will also alleviate issues that arise from billing customers when they ask if you serviced their property or not.  My landscaping business lives and dies by the GPS.  We use it daily.  We can build landmarks, track times, and monitor our trucks all at the same time.  We use Network Fleet which costs us $26 per month for each vehicle.  We have 5 trucks with GPS running  $130 a month or about $5 a day.
