Planet Antares Vending Programs And Global Positioning System

Under the Planet Antares vending programs, many operators are investing in new technologies such as cashless vending or state of the art vending equipment. They are also putting their capital in satellite based fleet monitoring, also called Global Positioning System (GPS).

While setting up a Planet Antares vending business, you can decide to make use of any of these tools and techniques.

The purpose of GPS technology is to provide up to date information on driver and vehicle activity such as service stops and variations in routes to the vending operator. Before buying a GPS system for your Planet Antares vending business, conduct appropriate research on providers to know whether it is worth investing in or not.

Basically, there are two kinds of GPS systems, including:
a) Active system
b) Passive system

The active system uses telemetry to transmit data to the main office or a website where the subscribing company can view its fleet activity in real time. On the other hand, the passive system involves storage of data for retrieval and uploading to the main fleet computer once the vehicle returns.

A two way tracking system that utilizes low orbit satellites and allows communication between drivers and managers is used.

On the whole, GPS can significantly contribute to fuel savings for your Planet Antares vending business. This is achieved by monitoring of the vehicle movement to ensure that there is no misuse. In turn, this enables higher and more efficient routing by allowing managers to know how fast the vehicle is traveling so that excessive usage or wastage of fuel can be avoided.

Mainly, this system offers benefits in the form of:
1. Faster response time
2. Improved customer relations
3. Better employee accountability
4. Lower vehicle wear and tear

These are just a few of the many advantages of this system.

With high upfront cost, not many vendors are eager to invest in GPS system. Still, it is a worthwhile investment for your Planet Antares vending business and one can assure customers of timely and efficient service. Not only will you save a lot but also earn more!
