This can help to optimise staff and equipment allocation, as well as providing detailed insights to better inform bidding on new contracts.<\/p>\n<p>GPS tracking also enables more accurate accounting, with detailed timesheets that can be used to validate overtime payments, provide precise billing for clients and accurately forecast costs.<\/p>\n<p>Another key benefit of GPS tracking is better driver behaviour and safety. League tables and analysis tools help employers to encourage better driving habits and reduce wear and tear on vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>GPS tracking also helps construction companies to stay compliant with the latest regulations, providing accessible data and integrated maintenance reminders.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, a strong GPS tracking system helps construction firms to ensure their fleet operates safely, legally and effectively.<\/p>\n<p>This ebook gives an overview of all these benefits &#8211; and much more besides &#8211; with examples of how companies have put the technology to use.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology is having an impact on many areas of the construction industry, bringing greater efficiency, more reliable information and savings in terms of both time and money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":47656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172504],"ebook_category":[172215,172262],"ebook_tag":[172343],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-47655","1":"ebook","2":"type-ebook","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"stakeholder_rel_tag-quartix"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A guide to GPS vehicle tracking and the benefits of tracking data<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Technology is having an impact on many areas of the construction industry, bringing greater efficiency, more reliable information and savings in terms of both time and money.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/ebook\/a-guide-to-gps-vehicle-tracking\/47655\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A guide to GPS vehicle tracking\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Technology is having an impact on many areas of the construction industry, bringing greater efficiency, more reliable information and savings in terms of both time and money.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/ebook\/a-guide-to-gps-vehicle-tracking\/47655\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
