This is a news item from earlier this year but I thought it was interesting because it marks the beginning trend of the general public becoming aware of GPS tracking technology and how it can be used in the business environment. This news item focuses on wireless technology, which is only one of the ways to implement a GPS fleet tracking solution.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 27, 2006 -- Atlanta-based Discrete Wireless, Inc., a leading provider of GPS Fleet Management Systems, today announced that following 2005, a year in which new customer rollouts grew by more than 50%, 2006 sales, boosted by existing customer add-ons, look to be even stronger.

“Industry data reports and word-of-mouth continue to validate what our customers already know,” said Doug Benson, Director of Marketing for Discrete Wireless. “GPS Fleet Management Systems are at the top of the list with regards to return on investment.”

Existing Discrete Wireless customers such as Peach State Roofing, Bright House Networks, MC Dean, and Aaron Rents are continuing regional and national rollouts of Discrete Wireless GPS systems.

“Once a company’s management team sees how much money they save on vehicles equipped with a GPS system, and how much more productive the drivers of those vehicles become, they aggressively begin rolling out GPS systems to their entire fleet,” said Wayne Johnson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Discrete Wireless.

The Real-Time GPS Fleet Management Systems industry has been growing steadily over the last six years. Using the Discrete Wireless GPS system, company administrators can view detailed maps on which the exact location of every fleet vehicle is displayed along with live statistics on each vehicle.

Mature products, such as the Discrete Wireless GPS system also include built-in reports and alerts, which can be customized and automatically delivered to one or more e-mail boxes and/or wireless handheld devices. Managers then use this real-time data to more effectively manage their fleets.

By using the vehicle and driver statistics available through the GPS system, Discrete Wireless customers are consistently increasing mobile worker productivity by 20-50%.
