9 Secrets to Reducing your Fleet Expenses
As a fleet owner, your day-to-day costs can quickly add up. What you don’t know is there are further hidden, expensive...
Read moreStaying in control is an ongoing challenge for fleet-reliant business owners. With a workforce largely out on the road, it is not always easy to ensure that all drivers and vehicles are performing their duties as they should be.
Any unauthorised use of company assets can prove costly, resulting in additional mileage, wear and tear, increased fuel consumption and potential damage to your company reputation.
But what do you do if an employee, or anyone else for that matter, takes a vehicle without your consent or uses it for anything other than permitted business?
A fleet tracking solution with immobilisation technology can help – allowing you to monitor the status and whereabouts of every vehicle in your fleet and, if necessary, take direct action to halt unauthorised use.
The benefits of immobilisation
It’s easy to feel helpless the moment you realise that a company vehicle is being used in an unauthorised manner. Fortunately, there are still steps you can take to stay in control of the situation.
Stop unauthorised use in its tracks: Immobilisation technology allows you to remotely shutdown any vehicle in your fleet in just a few clicks. If the vehicle is in motion, it will be disabled as soon as it comes to a stop.
Alternatively, if you know who is driving, you can get in contact to warn that immobilisation is imminent if they fail to change course.
Protect against theft: When you become aware that a vehicle has been taken without your consent, the first moments are absolutely vital. In many cases, the longer your asset is out of your control, the lower the chances of it being safely recovered.

With immobilisation technology installed, you can take immediate action as soon as you suspect foul play. Your GPS tracking solution can then be used to help locate and recover your prized asset.
Reduce costs: The ability to remotely immobilise your vehicles can not only increase fleet security, it can also help to bring down costs. By taking direct action, it’s possible to reduce the risk of theft and lower the impact of unauthorised personal use – both of which can prove costly to fleet businesses.
Many insurers also offer discounts to fleets that use immobilisation technology.
