As our world continues to become mobile, more and more businesses and government agencies depend on mobile workers and the use of expensive equipment in remote locations to meet their customers’ needs. This helps them provide customers with better, and often quicker, service, but also makes it difficult to keep track of where everyone and everything is.
Today, TeleNav and AT&T made tracking and locating equipment much easier for businesses with the launch of TeleNav Asset Tracker. TeleNav Asset Tracker from AT&T is an easy to install wireless device that can be attached to machinery, containers and other equipment so management can locate and track equipment on a Web-based map. This helps them use equipment more efficiently and also helps prevent theft. For managers in the construction, shipping, leasing or government industries, the tracking information helps them sleep a little easier at night knowing where all of their equipment is.
What businesses do you think could benefit from the use of TeleNav Asset Tracker from AT&T?

TeleNav Track Delivers Location Information from a Mobile Handset to an easy to view Web-based system
As some of you may know, in addition to the consumer turn-by-turn navigation applications we develop here at TeleNav, we also develop a suite of location-based products for business customers called TeleNav Track. These products range from our “LITE” solutions that provide the back office, through a Web-based interface, with location information for mobile workers and resources to our Premium services which build on the capabilities of the LITE services by providing deeper operational tools such as wireless timecard entry and form completion, mileage tracking and vehicle diagnostic monitoring right from the field.
We currently have approximately 9,000 organizations using our TeleNav Track products through our carrier partners AT&T and Sprint and we’re constantly receiving feedback from our customers explaining how the improved visibility into the location of their mobile workforce has cut costs through reduced mileage, more efficient dispatching and better customer service. Check out some of our case studies.
But don’t just take our word for it. A recent report from Aberdeen Group provides the results of a survey of companies using GPS enabled services and the findings indicate that GPS services are certainly providing substantial ROI for businesses. This TMCnet article outlines some of the survey findings.
According to Aberdeen Group, use of GPS enabled solutions by businesses with mobile workers and resources has reduced idle time and increased fleet utilization. The survey results indicated that these companies have experienced substantial reduction in fuel costs and cut their miles driven by nearly one-third. Reduced time spent behind the wheel means more time on the job site, which might also explain why these companies have experienced a 23 percent increase in workforce productivity.
Our customers have reported similar ROI after implementing TeleNav Track into their operations. This ROI is likely the reason Aberdeen Group reports that monitoring of workers and vehicles by companies responding to the research have increased by 12 percent over last year’s figures. Aberdeen Group expects that number to continue to rise as more companies look to benefit from integrating location information into their operations.
If you’re a small business owner with mobile employees or the manager of a large fleet, now may be a good time to look into location-based solutions. In the current economy, any solution that has been proven to lower operating costs could be a wise investment.
