Dave what is the cost per van and is it monthly or one off fees ?

From past experience, fit trackers (telling your staff you don't trust them) and moral goes out of the window. If you doubt them that much, then they don't belong in your team, get rid of them.

You know by the figures if they do well or not, spend the money differently, if they do well, give them a bonus which in turn motivates them even further.

not at all, it is more about round management imo, my staff think there are trackers in my vans (there are not) I want to know so I can see where it wastes time how I can better manage a round it is all part of running a business, if staff cant understand this then I would get rid anyway.

lol I have maps, gps tracking is all the rage, I want in on that action, I bet you still collect dont you 

[Shiners Express Ltd.]

lol I've got barely enough time to do all the work without collecting aswell. GPS trackers might help a little but personally I doubt it. and it WILL p**s your staff off.

[GDwindowcleaning]

Why will it p them off? They are the standard in other industries...

[Ian Rochester]

I've been looking at it, however I do understand the issue of trust of your staff and it does have the "Big Brother is watching you" feel.  I think if I was to buy a new van I'll have it fitted with GPS straight away so then it is less of an issue.

Personally I don't think I need it but it would be nice to have as there are occasions when I or the office need to know where they are in their workload.

didn't Dave 'loose' one of his vans the other day?

[Roy Cauldery]

3 vans, 2 fitted with trackers.We got them for exactly this reason-stop unauthorised use of the vehicles(I pay the fuel and costs-it's not a perk,it's a tool of the job)
www.satmo.co.uk speak to Fiona and say I said Hi

Regards Roy

[Moderator David@stives]

The van was parked in a mobile black spot, they rely on the orange phone network to work.
