GPS fleet management provider allows businesses to track their lawn equipment with pinpoint accuracy to reduce potential loss from theft and misuse of property

NexTraq™, the value leader of GPS fleet tracking technology and vehicle management solutions, announces today that the NexTraq Fleet Tracking platform and Asset Tracking line has proven to help its landscaping customers track their expensive assets on their trucks, significantly reducing potential loss from theft.

The NexTraq GPS vehicle tracking platform allows business owners to easily track their trailers, mowers, leaf blowers and other high-value assets along with their work trucks. By tracking metrics such as asset location, engine-on hours and stopped times, NexTraq customers have already seen success in recovering stolen assets and tracking vehicles to increase fleet productivity.

Evelyn Herzog, Fleet Administrator for Landscape Concepts Management, stated, “We have been able to recover $400,000 worth of stolen vehicles and equipment with the NexTraq solution. We have actually told the police where our assets are for recovery.” Jeff Dumas, Vice President of Acres Group North, shared similar results, “Through the alert functionality within the NexTraq platform, I receive a text message if any vehicle in our fleet moves before 5 a.m. In fact, I was able to use NexTraq to notify the police that a theft had occurred. One of our managers was watching the vehicles' movement on the NexTraq application and was able to guide the police to the vehicle in time to arrest the thieves.”

The new asset tracking offering adds to NexTraq’s already impressive reputation as the value leader in GPS tracking technologies. With more than 25 reports and 17 real-time alerts, landscaping customers now have the tools to keep their equipment secure while automating their processes, tracking their employee hours and much more. Mike Scarbrough, CEO of NexTraq, said, “The seasonality of the landscaping business means spring and summer are significant revenue-generating opportunities for our customers. With NexTraq, they can automate their business processes to meet increasing market demand while monitoring their assets to protect their investments.”
