Spying has been around since the beginning of time and countries have been spying on one another forever. James Bond is the ultimate spy. We have come to expect and understand that spying takes place but with the recent leaks from the likes of Snowden and other public interest groups, people are seeing first hand it's happening to just about everyone. The days of covert privacy are over. The UK is said to have one camera for every 30 residents of the country. So with this why is GPS fleet tracking still considered controversial?
Crow Tracker is a GPS fleet tracking solution for small businesses looking for employee location tracking during their working hours. As we speak with more and more small businesses across the country it's clear that they respect their employees but want to add an additional layer of checks and balances to ensure they are getting the most of each and every employee. It's not their intention to offend or scare employees yet the majority of employers understand it's a sensitive subject. Our question is: What's to hide and why are employees so concerned about GPS fleet tracking in general?
Many of the companies using GPS fleet tracking are small businesses with half a dozen crews in the field. They are service companies or driving services who are often re-routing different teams. Our GPS phone tracker gives them the ability to know where their people are in real time gives them the ability to save time and improve efficiency sending the closest team to the next available job. In addition to routing the appropriate crew, the office knows where each team is at any moment during the work day.
While there is often fear with tracking, there are reasons some of this is in place. In addition to the operational benefits that businesses get from real time location updates, there is an added layer of security for the employees. Many local and state governments are implementing or already enforcing tight restrictions on the number of hours that drivers are allowed to be on the field. This is to ensure that drivers are getting proper rest and aren't posing a risk to other people on the road. These logs are required to be kept by employers in the event they are audited. These checks and balances help keep employees safer.
Regardless of the benefits and reasons, we understand that people feel threatened. Its change and something new and with change comes fear. We understand that but hope to explain to employees why this transparency only makes for a better working relationship while also helping the company thrive. Employees don't want to waste time being sent to jobs on the other side of town or being routed to another job when they are still working on the current one. Information is power and with real time GPS fleet tracking, everyone is able to passively communicate their location helping the business operate smoother.
