-- Today's GPS, cellular, and satellite technologies offer businesses
the opportunity to monitor the location and safety of their most remote
workers in real time. From oil and gas workers working in remote well
locations, to delivery drivers operating on less traveled roads, we now
have the ability to know that are most valuable assets are safe without
having to pick up the phone.
There are quite a few companies that offer GPS tracking devices which can be utilized in a number of ways. At industry leader Cartasite, fleet safety is at the forefront of their fleet management
technology. Their ROVR system can do much more than let you know where
your workers are. Deployed with worker safety in mind, the system can be
set up to automatically notify managers that their workers have arrived
on location as well as when they get home at night. Having this type of
information automatically sent to the appropriate parties allows the
drivers, remote workers and managers to be more productive and of course
safe. Managers no longer need to spend hours making phone calls at the
end of their days to make sure their workers have made it to their
destination and home.
Epic Energy is one example of company that understands how valuable this
type of automation can be. They utilize Cartasite 's fleet management
tool for their field employees out of Shreveport, LA as well as Fort
Worth, TX and soon their remote field workers in the Appalachian region
of Pennsylvania. Ron Rougeau, the VP of Health, Safety, and
Environmental Operations was pleased with the implementation of the Home
Safe program with his fleets as it not only notifies the manager of the
employees safety, but does so on an automatic basis. Automating the
home check-in process relieves the employee of manually calling in, and
relieving the manager of fielding all of these calls each evening.
As a result of Mr. Rougeau putting the HomeSafe feature into action, the
field workers at Epic Energy find the automatic alerts more than
helpful, because the last thing you want at the end of a long day is to
have to remember to make another phone call. The fleet managers also
appreciate the automatic alerts - being able to receive the
notifications via email relives 10+ phone calls each per night - which
is an grateful silence.
Today's world is full of continuously improving technologies that are
making our world safer and our businesses more efficient, and this is a
prime example. Cartasite offers fleet management systems for the Oil and
Gas Industry as well as any company with a fleet of vehicles that wants
to make their fleets safer and more efficient.
