Vehicle Tracking Solutions

This video explains why Vehicle Tracking Solutions is the franchise opportunity of the moment.

As GPS becomes more and more integral to our lives, it has suddenly created a number of stellar business opportunities. If you are unsure about how under-valued the GPS market is, just look at the facts: there are 30.2 million non-residential vehicles in the United States. Only 7% of the 20 million business vehicles are equipped with Automatic Vehicle Location. Less than 10% of US fleets use a GPS system.

For these reasons, Vehicle Tracking Solutions, a business that utilizes GPS technology to locate a business car or truck anywhere in North America, is destined for huge growth in the coming years.

“We’re a fleet management company. And what we do is help people locate where their assets are via their computer screen and utilize GPS, the same GPS satellites that you use in vehicle navigation. But we go a step further,” said John Cunningham, CEO and President of Vehicle Tracking Solutions, explaining his innovative business concept. “Instead of letting the driver know where he is, we let the company know where the driver is. And that helps the company be more efficient.”

Mr Cunningham sites recent studies by the Aberdeen Group and CJ O’Driscoll that show that less than 10% of fleets operating in America are utilizing a GPS solution.

“The explosion that’s comes in the last four or five years is nothing like the explosion that’s going to come in the next four or five years,” Mr Cunningham predicts.

“The market for the product is huge,” says Ed Teixeira, COO of Vehicle Tracking Solutions. Mr Teixera sites information that says by 2010, 17 million drivers will be using GPS technology.

So while the business concept is interesting, are there opportunities available for franchisees?

“The franchise program is simple: the investment is low, it doesn’t require that you hire a staff of employees, you don’t need an opening inventory of merchandise, you don’t have to go out and sign a lease and have an elaborate location. Quite frankly, you can operate from your home office, which means that you’ll get started very easily. It’s a departure from most franchises that require a significant investment and a significant commitment on the part of the franchisee,” Mr Teixeira adds.

And if you’re looking for an example from the real-world about how important Vehicle Tracking Solutions can be, just listen to Randy Wolmart of Emergency Ambulance Services.

Because of the Tracking Solutions, we’re available to give a faster ETA and a more accurate ETA, because we know where are vehicles are at all times. If it’s a case of the driver not being able to find the facility, we can physically guide them. And because of that, Emergency Ambulance Services has grown by leaps and bounds because we’re that one step ahead of everyone else,” says Mr Wolmart, the CEO of Emergency Ambulance Services.
