Meet Ernesto Flores

Sales Assistant at One Step GPS

What's the most unique part about working with One Step GPS?

Ernesto: The ability to both live and work within the same community. Having grown up in this area, the privilege of working just a few minutes away from my childhood home adds a special and fulfilling dimension to my professional experience.

What feature of One Step GPS do customers love the most?

Ernesto: One standout feature that customers truly appreciate about One Step GPS is the seamless setup process. The name 'One Step GPS' reflects our commitment to simplicity, and many customers are pleasantly surprised by the ease with which they can sign up for our service.

What do customers most frequently mention when switching from another provider?

Ernesto: One aspect that customers consistently emphasize when transitioning from another provider is the relief of discovering our no-contract policy at One Step GPS. Many have recently navigated lengthy two to three-year contracts or faced steep fees to terminate their previous agreements.

What is the biggest problem you've seen the platform solve for a client?

Ernesto: One of the most impactful issues our platform addresses for clients is the challenge of time theft from employees. A considerable number of customers turn to our GPS tracking system when grappling with suspicions of dishonesty in their workforce. By implementing our solution, they successfully mitigate time theft, enhance route efficiency, and, in turn, trim operational costs. This not only fosters a more honest and accountable work environment but also leads to increased production as operations become more streamlined and optimized.

Meet Lindsey Merle

Support Engineer

What's the most unique part about working with One Step GPS?

Lindsey: We have a great team that works together. I also enjoy the fact that we can contribute new ideas and see them get implemented. I know I can depend on my colleagues to tackle projects or help me brainstorm an issue I am running into. Overall, I really love the team. Also using the ability to think outside of the box (something many other companies do not use-stuck in their ways).

What's the most memorable thing you have heard a client mention about working with One Step GPS or the platform?

Lindsey: I have heard a few stories at this point, but people are so grateful when they can track down a stolen piece of equipment or vehicle. (Some even gruesome, lol) It totally makes the product worth it for that alone. One rescue of a piece of stolen equipment can save them hundreds of thousands of dollars. More money then they will most likely ever spend on the service. It shows them the value of tracking their vehicles/assets. Also, the ability to talk to a real person and not being prompted through automated answering machines.

What do customers most frequently mention when switching from another provider?

Lindsey: I have heard a lot of people mention long wait times to talk to someone. Also, the devices just going down regularly, no support and contracts keeping them locked in.

Why do you think clients choose to work with One Step GPS?

Lindsey: The affordability of our service. The ability to have things resolved very quickly when necessary. The fact that we offer a high level of support and that our system looks very modern/intuitive user ability.

Meet Mason Welling

Sales Operations Specialist

What feature of One Step GPS do customers love the most?

Mason: On a daily basis I hear that our customers love the Scorecard platform and the sheer accuracy of your units. The customers also comment how our pricing is a huge positive as well!

What is there about One Step GPS that you wish potential customers knew?

Mason: Even though we advertise it very well on our website, I love to exaggerate our 100-day money-back guarantee trial period. This allows our potential customers to have the confidence that they are receiving equipment that truly works. After the trial period, our customers are more than satisfied with the platform and equipment leading to them wanting to stay with us. Even after the 100 days, we offer no contracts and you can cancel whenever you'd like!

What is the biggest problem you've seen the platform solve for a client?

Mason: Besides tracking down the occasional stolen vehicle or asset that is equipped with One Step GPS devices, I have a few customers who were able to monitor their employees and find out they're either using the gas cards on their own vehicles and not the company vehicles, find out they are stealing company time, and not going to their appointments when they said they were. These are just a few of the perks that I have come from our devices.

Why do you think clients choose to work with One Step GPS?

Mason: Customers choose One Step GPS because we are friendly, accurate, low-cost, quick and free shipping, and can tailor the platform to your specific requests and needs. We want to make sure that you have the confidence of knowing where your assets are at every minute of the day.

How can I use One Step GPS to improve fleet safety?

Our platform provides a wealth of data that lays the foundation for any successful fleet safety program:

Real-time and historical driving behavior, including:

Speeding
Hard braking
Harsh driving
Rapid acceleration
Driving outside of defined routes and boundaries
After-hours driving for theft and misuse
Device tamper alerts
Optional dual-facing, AI-powered Dashcam which detects cell phone use while driving
More!

Driver's scorecards that show behavior trends and score driving performance for any defined period
Customizable maintenance alerts to ensure every vehicle is kept roadworthy at all times
Live engine diagnostics readouts to catch malfunctions and needed repairs before they cause accidents and additional costs

In short, you can track every KPI needed to keep the focus on fleet safety—establish a world-class fleet safety program, set fleet policy, and ensure it's being adhered to. With all these insights, you can easily implement a driver safety program that is backed by real-world data.

You have the data-backed insights to coach drivers correctly where they need it and reward drivers as they improve.

What is the importance of fleet safety?

A safety-first culture exists to protect your drivers and everyone who shares the road with them. As you know, your drivers have a valuable role to play that supports the entire physical economy.

There are many additional benefits to an effective safety program:

Lower fuel, maintenance, and operational costs
Fewer accidents, liabilities, and claims
Lowered insurance premiums
Fewer citations
A better reputation and higher trust from potential and existing customers

How do I measure fleet safety?

The top-level metric to show fleet safety is Rate of accidents (number of accidents divided by number of miles driven). However, most fleets are not large enough to see a definite decrease in accidents until some time has passed.

One Step GPS gives you a data-driven view of driver behavior that allows you to measure and improve safety before accidents occur. Using our platform you can see:

Hard braking events
Speeding (slightly, moderately, and severely)
Fast acceleration
Hard cornering

Each of these behaviors creates a slight risk for an at-fault accident. Multiply these small behaviors over the total miles driven each day and the total number of drivers in your fleet, and the risk of avoidable accidents grows greater and greater.

We create a scorecard for each driver that rates the driver on each of the behaviors listed above so you can measure the trend of driving behavior across each driver in your fleet.

The One Step GPS driver's scorecard is the ideal measurement for fleet safety. With it you can see each driver's performance trends, strengths, and weaknesses.

You have a data-driven means of enforcing company policy, coaching driver behavior, and rewarding better driving.

Vehicle maintenance also plays a large part in the safety of your fleet. Measure On-time completion of preventative maintenance (percentage of preventative maintenance procedures completed on or before schedule) and Time-to-repair (average length of time from when a repair is reported to when it is resolved) as two additional metrics to help prevent accidents and keep your fleet safe.

One Step GPS provides two key solutions to help control these numbers. First is our maintenance scheduling tool, which allows you to set automated reminders for preventive maintenance, and second is our live diagnostics readout, which reports any diagnostics codes from the vehicle's computer as they occur for rapid resolution.

One Step GPS is a complete solution for managing and improving the safety of your entire fleet.

How do I start a fleet safety program in my organization?

As with any program, a fleet safety program has little chance of success unless someone is responsible for its execution.

Start your program by assigning a responsible person(s) to oversee its implementation, measurement, and success.

While individual fleets have their nuances, a successful framework for a fleet safety program looks something like this:

Discuss the subject of safety with your drivers, and include them in your safety program from the start. Driver buy-in is the key to creating a safer fleet. Drivers should know and feel that this program is for their safety and well-being because it is.
Set clear company policies around the critical aspects of driver behavior and vehicle maintenance standards and make them clearly known to every driver. Discuss them with your drivers, answer any questions they may have, and help them feel engaged in this process.
Gather telematics data and maintenance records to benchmark current fleet performance. In particular, we recommend you benchmark your individual and fleetwide driver's safety behavior (automatically reported with One Step GPS) and two maintenance KPIs:
1. On-time completion of preventative maintenance (percentage of preventive maintenance procedures completed on or before schedule)
2. Time-to-repair (average length of time from when a needed repair is reported to when it is resolved)
Establish safety goals among your managers and drivers. Measure and review the approach toward these goals regularly with your drivers. One of the best tactics to encourage driver buy-in and speed the uptake of safety practices is to turn the program into a game and make it fun!

Set fleetwide goals for improved safety scores and create a reward program for when they are achieved. Pizza nights, amazon gift cards, and company-wide baseball games are encouraged!

Find out what your drivers would like as a reward and get it for them when they meet company safety goals.

When the whole team works together, amazing things can happen.
Set a regular schedule for reviewing safety performance. Focus on reinforcing good behavior. Only correct bad behavior when you have the real-world data to back it up and correct only the exact behavior needed so drivers gain confidence in and respect for your coaching program.

A fleet safety program takes a little bit of work and thought to get started right, but once it is going it becomes much easier to continue. And the rewards of improved fleet safety cannot be overstated.

Will drivers retaliate if I implement a safety program?

Not if you take some time to implement your program thoughtfully.

A successful safety program makes drivers feel included from the beginning and creates an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual achievement.

Ensure drivers are fully aware of company policy so they know what is and isn't acceptable. Clarify policy, if needed, so there is no room for confusion or misinterpretation.

Include drivers in the planning and implementation process. Let them know how the program will roll out, what the process will be like, what changes they can expect, and when.

Make safety into a game. Find out what your drivers would like as a reward for increasing the overall fleet safety score and meeting goals, and get it for them when they do!

The key is not to work against your drivers. After all, your safety program is for their benefit most of all!

Even when you take all the care you can to include and engage your drivers, the occasional person will still object.

Almost one-for-one, these are the drivers with something to hide:

Using company vehicles for personal use
Padding time by taking odd routes or making excessive personal stops
Driving recklessly in company vehicles

These things and more occur in fleets. If someone harshly objects or even quits their job over a well-implemented program, good. It's better for you not to have the liability of a dangerous or criminal driver on your hands.

How does fleet safety impact my bottom line?

More than almost any other single factor, fleet safety directly impacts your bottom line.

Safe driving not only improves fuel efficiency and prevents premature wear on vehicles but also affects variable costs across numerous sectors of operations, from insurance premiums to avoided legal fees and litigation.

Safety doesn't just reduce unnecessary expenses, it can also actively contribute to generating additional income. One of the least-considered benefits of a safer fleet is a better reputation, a higher customer satisfaction rate, more loyal customers, and more referrals for new customers.

How much does your safety platform cost?

We charge $13.95 per month per vehicle for telematics. There is a one-time activation fee, and we collect the first and last month's payment at the start of your service.

Can GPS tracking help me save money on my insurance?

Yes! Safer driving records are the primary cause of lower insurance premiums, and GPS tracking is the most powerful tool available today for improving fleet safety.

Many of our customers achieve better relationships with their insurers by using One Step GPS.

We work with several insurance companies to provide discounts to our mutual customers. Don't hesitate to get in touch with one of our US-based specialists to find out if your provider is on the list.

Call today: (888) 919-7536 Linney tells us:
"We are now expanding our fleet, and every new vehicle and trailer will have a One Step attached to it. Our insurance is lower, because of One Step, so the monthly costs are extremely equitable."

How much could unsafe or bad driving cost me?

It could cost you your business. The truth of today's harsh economic landscape is that one driving disaster could destroy a company.

The average cost of a non-fatality accident is estimated as much as $75,000. Nuclear verdicts ($10M or more) are rising, and 22.8% are from auto accidents.

Even if you've been lucky enough never to have had an accident in your fleet, the potential exists.

Further, bad driving costs you money without even considering the costs of potential accidents. Bad driving is inefficient driving and wastes your fuel, increases your maintenance costs, inflates your insurance premiums, accrues unneeded citations, and prematurely wears out your vehicles.

Grace told us:
"In the first month, once the employees that kept the fleet vehicles overnight were advised that unauthorized use was going to be tracked, we saved well over $600!!! Each month the savings, compared to those of the same months in the past years, have been about the same. The service has basically paid for itself! Additionally, the tracking system helps in assigning service calls to those trucks geographically located near the address of the customers. Also saving us mileage and gas. Thank you ONESTEPGPS"

How much could a single accident in a company vehicle cost?

Accidents cost employers $26,081 per crash and $78,418 per injury involved on average, based on data from the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety.

When there is a fatality involved this number skyrockets.

With nuclear verdicts ($10M or more) rising and 22.8% of them from auto accidents, according to the Institute for Legal Reform, the ceiling on the cost of a single accident is almost unfathomable.

There has never been a better time to invest in fleet safety.

Can GPS tracking or Dash Cameras help prevent accidents?

Yes! GPS tracking and dashcams are two of the most powerful tools for preventing accidents in your fleet.

Dashcams also help exonerate faultless drivers and protect your company from false liability.

With GPS tracking, you have the data you need to be proactive about fleet safety: you can finally verify whether company policy is being followed and see each driver's behavior in real time.

What you can measure, you can improve. You can improve driver behavior and increase your fleet's safety with historical and real-time insights.

With our dashcams, you get all of the benefits of GPS tracking, plus dual-facing cameras so you can see what happened as it happened. Review dashcam footage to see what caused hard braking events, speeding, and accidents. Coach drivers with a real-world view of the situation for maximum efficacy.

Dashcams can be configured for dual-facing or road-facing only mode to suit your fleet's needs.

Our dashcams also provide audible alerts to drivers for speeding, hard braking, and other behavior for immediate correction. They are built with AI technology to detect cellphone use and lane departure while driving and to alert drivers and managers instantly.

With all of these powerful tools and more, you have the power to reduce accidents in your fleet and create a zero-crash culture.

Debbie C. tells us:
"The ease and the overall cost of what I receive as a business owner have been amazing. As an owner carrying all the risk of drivers behind the wheel of my future, I was able to see a driver texting & even watching videos while driving. For the safety of my community and my company, this system truly saves lives. I won't be without it. The dual camera and able to communicate through the system is a bonus. I just need employees to have their eyes on the road and protection in case of an accident. So worth it."

Does GPS tracking pay for itself?

Yes!

Consider the range of costs that GPS tracking can help reduce:

Fuel waste
Excessive vehicle wear
Avoidable accidents
Insurance premiums
Maintenance oversight
Moving violations/citations
Inefficient routing and dispatching
Compliance violations
Premature vehicle depreciation
False claims
Theft
Employee misuse
Payroll and other employee fraud
The list goes on...

At One Step GPS we give you transparent pricing at $13.95/device/month. We pay for the devices, ship them to you free, and offer a 100-day money-back guarantee. We also provide a lifetime warranty on all of our devices and no contracts. If you're ever unsatisfied, you cancel the service with no penalty.

Considering all of the ways our platform helps fleets save money, the ROI is dramatic.

John C. mentioned:
"This product has already been saving me hundreds of dollars weekly in labor cost alone."

Can reducing engine idle also save me money?

Yes!

While average idle times vary by vehicle, industry, and driver, the cost of unnecessary idling is clear.

Unnecessary idling wastes fuel and contributes to premature vehicle depreciation.

With One Step GPS, you can easily see each driver's historical idle time and correct it.
