HiDwGa Open Source GPS Fleet Tracking System
________________________________________
Companies with small service fleets engage in the same type of work as service organizations with large fleets: installation, maintenance, repair, and delivery. Within the context of each of these activities, all companies - small and large - seek to contain expenses, improve resource productivity, and enhance customer satisfaction.
GPS tracking is a golden opportunity to solve the problem of fleet control and management as well as secure cargo transportation. Motor car park equipped with vehicle tracking system reduces your expenses considerably. By tracking your workforces step-by-step activity, vehicle and truck location, journey status and speed minute-by-minute you can ensure things run to plan.
GPS tracking principles
Through GPS satellites a special controller installed on a vehicle detects geographical coordinates (location) of this vehicle and retrieves data from different sensors. The controller transfers data to HiDwGa tracking server, and your fleet manager can track the vehicle on the map in a real-time mode. You can get information not only on vehicle route and speed, but with HiDwGa you can set-up any number of reports and alerts to let you know when any aspect of your plan is at risk.
Main reasons businesses are wishing to implement GPS tracking technology are:
• Reducing service response times
• Reducing fleet related operating costs
• Increasing service related productivity
• Extending life of service vehicles
• Increasing fleet security

GPS Tracking Business
Vehicles - cars, vans, trucks, etc. travel across Middle East in all directions. Their owners are interested in cutting down transport expenses, especially these days, during the financial crisis. Modern GPS tracking technologies can assist in making vehicle lifetime longer, as well as can improve response time, reduce operational costs, and increase productivity. All these factors together with customer satisfaction are the obvious advantages of our web-based GPS tracking system.
GPS Tracking implementation
• Fleet Management: Knowing the real-time location of each vehicle allows meeting customers' needs more efficiently. Whether it is delivery, passenger or commercial transport service, etc., drivers just need to have a GPS-tracker or a cell phone with GPS to be efficiently tracked.
• Assets Tracking: Nowadays companies have the opportunity to monitor their assets movement, location and status on the map in real time.
• Field Service Management: Companies with a field service workforce for services such as repair or maintenance, must be able to plan field workers' time, schedule subsequent customer visits and be able to operate these departments efficiently. GPS tracking allows companies to quickly locate a field engineer and dispatch the closest one to meet a new customer request or provide site arrival information.
• Stolen Vehicle Recovery: Both individuals and firms can install GPS devices in their vehicles to enable the owner or a third party to track their location and to assist the police in their recovery.
• Field Sales: Field sales managers can get the access to real-time locations. That is, they can locate both themselves and customers, get driving directions, and add the latest destinations to the route. Benefits include increased productivity, reduced driving time and enhanced customer service.
• Transit Tracking: This is a tracking of assets or cargoes from one destination to another. To ensure the assets security, customers must guarantee that they won't stop on the way or do a U-Turn.
