For many businesses, their company vehicles are one of their most important assets. Unfortunately, these assets can be prone to theft, hurting the company’s bottom line. In fact, according to stats from the FBI, a vehicle is stolen in the US every 33 seconds.
Using GPS to deter theft and recover stolen vehicles
The best solution for companies to both deter theft and recover stolen vehicles is through the use of a GPS tracking system. These devices can detect unauthorized movement and send you an alert. You can then work with your local law enforcement to track and recover the vehicle before serious damage is done.
3 Reasons to use GPS as a vehicle recovery system
1. Early detection and real-time tracking
As stated above, a GPS system can alert you immediately when a vehicle is being stolen and the tracking system can be used to alert your law enforcement officials as to where the vehicle is and where it is heading. The early you detect the theft and recover the vehicle, the less likely it is that damage will be done to it.
2. Reduce insurance costs
A big part of your insurance premium cost has to do with your claim history. If a company regularly has its vehicles stolen and damage is done to them, claims go up and therefore so too do premiums. But a GPS system doesn’t just save you from having to make big claims, it can also reduce the cost of your premiums now as many insurance companies offer premium discounts to companies that use GPS anti-theft systems.
3. Add more features as needed
GPS systems have the ability not only to protect your fleet vehicles but also tools and equipment that might be inside those vehicles. Using Bluetooth technology, you will be able to keep track of other valuables such as tools, scrap bins, and other equipment.
