Navtrak: Protecting a Company's Reputation With a GPS Vehicle Tracking System
Salisbury, MD (PRWEB) December 17, 2007 -- Even before they were thrust into the national spotlight via six appearances on the hit TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Alure Home Improvements, Inc., a home remodeling firm based in Plainview, NY, was no stranger to success.
"At this point, we've become something of a brand," said Doug Cornwell, Alure's Vice President of Operations. "People see our trucks all over the New York metropolitan area, and when I travel to other places, they know our name from TV. We need to protect that name, and any tool that can help us do that is an asset to our company."
One such tool they discovered while researching ways to increase organizational productivity is a GPS-based vehicle tracking system (http://www.navtrak.net/pressreleases/redirect.cfm?leadID=22&cID=AlurePR&linkID=ICS). The senior managers at Alure recognized the need to track vehicle location and activity, in order to manage their increasing number of assets, and to keep their drivers accountable. The Alure management team settled on the Navtrak vehicle tracking system (http://www.navtrak.net/pressreleases/redirect.cfm?leadID=22&cID=AlurePR&linkID=ICS) to assist them with a set of defined issues:
? Inability to see the "big picture"( in terms of overall fleet operations)
? Lack of accountability for drivers
? Inability to keep drivers safe/assets secure
? Drain on IT resources
? Unnecessary lapses in productivity
Doug Cornwell, Alure's Vice President of Operations adds, "Navtrak offered us exactly what we were looking for: a system that they were hosting, with nothing on our end as far as weighing on our IT resources. Also, their solution wasn't contingent on any side deals, like a separate three-year agreement with a wireless carrier. It was comprehensive."

GPS Tracking for the Small Business
GPS Tracking is a process which involves the Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate a given object or person. It works by sending and receiving signals to a GPS unit, which is affixed to the object prior to allow tracking. The signals are sent via one of the dozen satellites orbiting Earth for this purpose, which communicate with one another to allow them to pinpoint exactly the coordinates of the object you are tracking. This might all sound like technical stuff, and it is, but GPS can bring many benefits to the small business owner, and to our everyday lives. Consider, for example, a logistics company, or a local courier. With GPS tracking, they can tag the location of every vehicle in the fleet at any given time, which will enable...

GPS Basic Information
GPS or Global Positioning System is a fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System. This system uses an artificial constellation of 24 medium Earth orbit satellites. These satellites transmit microwave signals, thus enabling a GPS receiver to determine its location, speed, direction and time. This system was developed by United States Department of Defense and was named as NAVSTAR GPS which was given by Mr. John Walsh. NAVSTAR is not an acronym, as is widely believed.
