JETT-Track saves companies hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. These GPS vehicle tracking units have numerous features that make tracking vehicles and streamlining operations simple.

1. Monitor company gas cards/purchases
Gas will probably only get more expensive, and some employees try to cut corners while cutting money out of your bottom line. Can you afford even one employee stealing $10 in fuel every week ($520/year) from your gas account? That's $520 you could put in your own gas tank! Questionable purchases can be tracked and verified with our easy-to-use GPS vehicle tracking software.

2. Ensure proper work hours, lunch breaks and overtime records
This is another area where you can save thousands of dollars per year. Employees won't record incorrect work, lunch or overtime hours if they know their work vehicle is being tracked. If you can gain even 15 minutes of productivity each day, you will save about $1,500 per employee each year.

3. Limit unnecessary trips and unauthorized use
Your employees? off-route driving could completely end once they know a GPS vehicle tracking unit is installed in their vehicle. No more extended lunches, driving off-route to go home to eat, run errands, etc.

One customer reported that one driver was traveling home 30 miles per day when they should have been working. That's a potential savings of $10-15 in fuel per day. And that's just one driver! Imagine what you can save if all of your drivers stay productive.

The more your workers work efficiently and record correct information, the more your business profits and operates cost-efficiently.

4. Use less fuel and stop speeding drivers
The EPA estimates that consistently driving 10MPH slower increases fuel efficiency by 20
- 5 gallon weekly decrease in fuel usage
- Weekly fuel savings of $20
- Annual fuel savings of $1,040
(varies based on MPG, daily miles driven and fuel cost)

The below sample cost savings and ROI is for a single employee. Your ROI will vary based on your number of vehicles, amount of miles driven and gas mileage.
