GPS Tracking
GPS Tracking is a system that helps businesses monitor and manage their vehicles in real-time. It uses satellite technology to show where vehicles are located, how they're being driven, and helps plan better routes. For taxi services and transportation companies, it's like having a digital map that shows where all their cars are at any time. This helps companies improve customer service by sending the nearest vehicle to a customer, save fuel by planning better routes, and keep both drivers and passengers safe by monitoring driving behavior.
