What type of companies can benefit from GPS tracking systems? Electrical and plumbing businesses are rapidly implementing tracking solutions but those are not the only companies that can benefit from vehicle tracking systems.

Normally a GPS vehicle tracking system will consist of a tracking device placed inside a vehicle along with a central server and software that lets the user track the fleet from headquarters. The information is relayed using geostationary positioning satellites that give any fleet vehicle’s speed, position and direction of travel.

The interval is as fast as 1 second and usual 15 seconds depending on driver activity.
