Hopefully, no one got you too good this year. The unofficial holiday of pranksters passed with the shift of the calendar from March to April. Sometimes pranks are fun, like in this list Forbes put together to celebrate the day. Other times — not so much.
As fun as the spaghetti incident from that Forbes article may have been, with pranks there is the potential for an Orson Welles–style scaring. We’re sure the percentage of people who were fooled by Welles’ radio hoax didn’t appreciate the ruse then nearly as much as the rest of us who know of it today. Being deceived isn’t always a laughing matter, but that holds even truer when money is on the line.
A company with a fleet of vehicles certainly can’t afford to be deceived by what’s happening in the field. While Orson Welles’ radio performance of “War of the Worlds” may have caused panic among some of his listeners, the ramifications for a business can be much more costly. A large fleet can waste as much as $20,000 a year in gas by idling. You can’t let yourself get fooled into wasting that much money.
When it comes to your business, a sure way to guard against being caught off guard is by having clear visibility into your company. With Actsoft, we can offer management the ability to track a fleet of vehicles with precision. It allows companies to plan the optimal routes for drivers and monitor vehicles on a map via GPS. Businesses can receive scheduled reports that let you know if users spend too much time idling, constantly go off route, clock in or out at undesired times, and if drivers are speeding. Knowing these metrics streamlines the efficiency of your business’s fleet.
A little prank here or there isn’t the worst thing in the world; no Martians have landed in New Jersey. However, it’s imperative to know exactly what is happening behind the scenes of your business or else risk being bamboozled by your bottom line, which is no laughing matter. Make sure your company is making the most of each day and running as efficiently as possible.
