Business (AVL)

AVL, or Automatic Vehicle Location, is a general term that describes companies that are in the business of vehicle asset tracking.

It is often used as an all-purpose term that includes tracking other high-value mobile assets such as laptops and tablets, high-value construction equipment, people, and any other assets you may use in your business.

Assets are tracked using GPS technology to determine geographic location and GPRS for general communication.

GPS electronic devices are installed in vehicles or other high-value assets and, through complex geocoding systems, the position of the asset can be determined, transmitted and recorded.

In addition to providing location data, you can also record the time, speed and direction among many other values of each asset. Professional AVL systems are customizable, allowing additional data to be tracked as needed, such as the pressure of each tire in a vehicle unit, for example.

Benefits of Starting an AVL Business

The benefits of an AVL business are numerous, whether your customers have a single vehicle or an entire fleet.

AVL business also allows managers to reduce risk and lower insurance costs by knowing when problems occur. Statistically, the benefits of AVL outweigh the costs by a considerable margin.

When you can keep track of where your vehicles are and what they’re doing, you can make better decisions that lead to faster responses.

The AVL allows you to monitor aspects such as the actual routes taken by drivers, fuel consumption, material consumption and staff activity, among many other indicators. With this information, it is possible to reduce costs by modifying routes and streamlining operations.
