GPS technology has come a long way from just showing people how to get from one place to another. Now you can monitor your whole fleet of vehicles, whether you have a few or a few hundred. Software today allows you to monitor almost everything that goes on with your vehicles. It starts with where they go, where they stop, and whether they went the right way. It continues with things like driver habits like harsh braking, speeding, and how the driver is doing in general. In some software, you can change the route the driver needs to take while the vehicle is moving. While some might see this is watching employees too closely, it does provide proof that they were doing what they were supposed to. Here are three very good GPS tracking systems for different sizes of fleets.

Carlock is a software made by Protectus Technologies, and it offers car monitoring for safety and location. There are real-time car tracking and alert systems in this package. The system can alert you via phone or text when a vehicle is moved or in something unusual is detected.  It also reports harsh acceleration or braking, sharp cornering and gives drivers monthly safety scores. This one also monitors the health of your vehicles and can warn you when something is wrong. It can tell you if your battery is low or being drained too fast, for instance.  There is also detailed trim monitoring that is standard in this type of system. Protection against car theft is also provided, as you can shut the car down if it is moved without your approval.  This software offers a ton of features. It is designed for small companies and can be used on just one car or bundled for as many cars as you need.

Another fleet tracking network that has good reviews is Fleetistics. You may use this software online with your computer, or with a mobile device. This software can be used on cars, buses or trucks - virtually any kind of vehicle. It includes real-time tracking so you know where all the vehicles are at any moment, and you can keep tabs on how your drivers are doing.  It has a dispatch feature that allows you to plan the best route even as the vehicle is moving. This can also make dispatching easier. Weather and traffic reports are also available both to the driver and the manager. Engine diagnostics and fuel management is also part of the package. A driver ID feature allows you to also keep track of who is driving which vehicle. It also has excellent customer support ratings from people who have used the software. This is one that offers all the features you need, and it is flexible enough to handle any size of fleet.

Verizon is one of the biggest phone companies, so it just makes sense they would be involved in this sort of technology.  This software handles inventory tracking, mapping, various notification, maintenance reports, and the ability to know the exact location of any vehicle at any time. You may also manage all of this from a mobile device. You may also communicate with drivers through instant messages or update orders. While monitoring your vehicles, the software examines your routes and can make suggestions for improvement. With this software, you can do fuel management, scheduling of maintenance, and help make your business as efficient as possible.  Customer service is also available during normal business hours, and that has received sound reviews. Other features include various alerts, notifications, maintenance reports as well as roadside assistance notifications.

Window blinds come in a wide selection of styles, colors, and sizes. These include vertical blinds, mini blinds, Venetian blinds, blackout blinds, corded and cordless blinds, as well as motorized blinds. Understanding these different options and the benefits they hold gives you the capability of selecting the window treatments that best serve your needs.

Venetian and mini blinds have slats that are positioned in a horizontal pattern. The main difference between these two types of blinds is the size of the slats used in their construction. Mini blind slats are half the width of Venetian blinds. Venetian blinds come in styles that can be used indoors or out. Mini blinds are often for indoor use only and are made to fit smaller or standard-sized windows and doors.

Vertical window blinds are made specifically for windows and doors that wouldnt open or close properly with horizontal-style blinds. These types of window treatments work well with patio doors, French doors, and larger bay windows. Vertical blinds are affixed on a track system that is used for making adjustments.

Maximize your ability to adjust the light in any room with blackout blinds. These blinds not only keep out the UV rays from the sun, but they also allow for more control over temperature loss. Protect your furniture and carpet flooring from sun-bleaching. The light-filtering design of the blind is ideal for anyone that is dependent on sleep during daylight hours.

More window blinds are being constructed with a cordless design. This style of window blinds is thought to be safer for use around children and pets. However, with corded window blinds, you can make permanent adjustments to the length of the blinds by simply unknotting the cord and removing slats as needed.

For added convenience and security, motorized window blinds go a long way. These types of blinds have a motor built into the track in which the blinds are situated. With the use of remote control, you can make adjustments to the blinds even when you are across the room. Some motorized blinds offer the ability to make pre-sets to the adjustments. This gives you the ability to press a single button and get the perfect setting every time.

The types of materials used for crafting window blinds are as plentiful as the styles themselves. Common materials used for building these window treatments include vinyl, wood, faux wood, and aluminum. Some fabric and upholstered blinds are also available. When making your selection, you will want to consider the type of window or door you want to cover, as well as the cleaning needs that each type of blind option requires.
