Many people think GPS tracker systems are only for companies that run huge fleets of vehicles. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Almost any business can benefit from the use of a GPS system, whether it’s a car dealership, a PR company or a financial company. Thinking creatively about how employees use vehicles in your organisation will help you identify whether investing in a system will be worth the money required.
Here are three of the top benefits tracker technology can provide:
Save Money on Fuel
Managers often fail to consider how company vehicles are used when making efforts to cut costs. Employees use company vehicles to drive to meetings, commute to work, and often for personal purposes. A GPS system makes it easy to track how they are using them, and ensure no liberties are being taken. All journeys are recorded, so employees know not to waste company fuel by using the vehicles for excessive personal use. It’s also easy to identify any employee who is using company cars irresponsibly, and wasting fuel through an aggressive driving style.
All employers have been in a situation where they have had to speak to angry customers who’ve grown impatient waiting for their staff members to arrive for meetings. Simply saying “I don’t know where they are,” is rarely good enough, and comes across as unprofessional. The problem is that it can be hard to contact employees if they are unable to answer their phones or communicate while driving. A GPS system can solve this issue, as a quick look online reveals the precise location of the individual’s vehicle. If they are stuck in traffic, it’s easy to relay this information, and prevent any bad feeling from forming.
Cut Journey Times
If your employees often find themselves stuck in traffic jams, you’re throwing money down the drain. The same is true if they are unsure over directions, and taking longer routes to their destinations than necessary. A GPS system will help every staff member identify the quickest and most efficient routes, ensuring they do not waste any time.
Integrating a GPS Tracker System
Employees may initially be wary of having their driving tracked and monitored. To prevent this from becoming a problem, it’s important to explain the purpose of the technology, and be open with staff over how the data will be used. Implemented correctly, a GPS tracker system can save a company thousands of pounds each year.
Why Taxes? Why Now?
"We opened up shop here in the Wylie, Sachse, Murphy area in 2018 with a passion to help start-ups and small businesses get on top of their bookkeeping,” Allen explains.
“What we found was a lot of folks just don’t get the tax game. And now that there are new laws and regulations, many are starting to panic; but trust me, small businesses have everything to gain with the new Section 179 Deductions.
“After filing a few late returns, in that first year, we learned that there is a real need for some tax expertise. We spent a good part of 2018 getting up to speed on tax law, and now I am an Enrolled Agent, federally licensed to practice before the IRS on behalf of my clients and anyone else who may be facing the daunting ‘IRS boogie man.’
“During tax season, we are prepared to handle it all.
For individuals we have helped folks with past-due tax returns and work with the IRS to eliminate all penalties... sometimes we given get rid of the tax debt itself.
For companies the biggest problem businesses of all sizes have is filing and paying their payroll taxes - both state and federal - on time. The rules for 940s and 941s are extremely confusing so we have helped a lot of companies catch up.
If they like our work, they sometimes retain us for bookkeeping and payroll.
