GPS Tracking & Monitoring for Your Taxi Fleet

Technical solutions play an important and sometimes crucial role in the efficiency of business management. Knowing what's going on with each of your vehicles is not only convenient, but also directly necessary for many reasons. After all, the rolling stock of your fleet is the driver of its earnings, your income, and your main asset, which means that control over it must be thorough and comprehensive. Of course, maintaining direct communication with drivers will help with this, but it won't protect you if a particular person behind the wheel has other intentions than those of the business. And as your fleet scales, as the number of cars in it increases, it's not operationally viable, and sometimes impossible, to be in touch with everyone personally at the same time.

This is not a new problem, and its solution is not new either. The only question is whether you are already using it and how well it is integrated into your organization. 

There are many small devices on the market that use GPS positioning data to perform useful functions. For the transportation sector, there are special devices that not only perform the direct function of tracking the location of a vehicle, but also have a lot of additional features. And in combination with the features in MyTaxiCRM, this set of data and indicators can serve as an excellent accurate tool for both simple and derived analytical indicators. 

All of this is to ensure that you have the most concise reports, information sets, and statuses possible, and that you can make the necessary management decisions quickly, on time, and with the benefit of your fleet business.

The Benefits of Using GPS Trackers for Your Fleet Business

Let's move on to explain why you need GPS tracking of your cars. The obvious thing is that knowing the location of each vehicle at the end of each working day or shift will at least allow you to not worry about the safety of the vehicle itself.

However, it's one thing to know where the car is from time to time, and quite another to know it on a regular basis, online. In this case, control over the location of the rolling stock, its distribution and dispersion across the territory where you operate gives you distinct operational advantages. And it doesn't matter if you work with one or more ride-hailing platforms, or if you just rent cars and don't deal with tactical trip management. Knowing where your vehicles are at any given time is about control, the ability to react quickly, and the ability to influence. In addition, the very fact that you have a GPS tracking and monitoring solution in place usually has a very positive effect on work ethic and responsibility among drivers.

We at MyTaxiCRM will be happy to help with the integration and tell you how well our system can not only support it, but what additional data and information you can receive to make your fleet business even more efficient.

Much More than Just a GPS Vehicle Tracker

Let's talk about more advanced features. Modern GPS devices, especially those that are connected to each of your cars via the OBD port, have much wider capabilities, as they collect and transmit much more diverse information to MyTaxiCRM fleet management system than just location data.

Information about driving speed is used by our system both to verify and confirm the data received on the distance of trips with different platforms or dispatch centers, and to monitor compliance with traffic rules by drivers (speeding, average speed, etc.).

Information about the technical condition and performance of the vehicle is used to notify the owner or fleet manager in advance of possible problems or impending maintenance. It's also about safety – you and your drivers, as well as passengers, will have confidence that the vehicle is in good working order, ready to drive and earn money for you.

Location information provides not only the obvious - understanding where your cars are now - but is also used to correctly distribute and assign fees for using toll roads or entering/exiting areas with a certain charge (for example, entering a paid waiting area at an airport or train station; distance or crossing the boundaries of a toll highway; staying in designated areas of the city with additional taxation – it all depends on the specifics of a particular city in a given country). MyTaxiCRM will not only allow you to record, account for, and correctly redistribute your expenses, but will also help you implement any of your decisions – some of your expenses can be passed on to the passenger as part of the final price of the ride, some can be conveniently tracked and paid to the relevant government services or institutions with the help of cashboxes and revises.

In addition, we are also able to work with much more specific requests – for example, the readings of the load sensor of the seats in the vehicle allow us to draw conclusions about the date and time of presence or absence of both the driver and passengers in the car, which in turn is an antifraud solution for you: in combination with the “Online” section of our MyTaxiCRM system, you will now know exactly when and which drivers made trips, and who may have taken an order from the sidewalk and simply forgotten or deliberately decided not to notify the fleet about side income using their vehicles.

We are also well aware of overruns as a factor in the efficiency of the fleet business. MyTaxiCRM, as a fleet management software, receiving data from GPS trackers, creates derivative metrics with which you can not only control their presence or absence, but also use a certain authorized distance of personal use by the driver as part of the contractual framework of your interaction, in other words, the terms of work.
