Why a GPS Tracking Device is a Good Investment

July 23rd, 2007 | GPS, Tech Bargains

Running a successful business is definitely a hard thing to do in today’s world. One of the most important parts of succeeding in today’s business world is keeping track of your employees, your product, and your equipment.

At one time, keeping track of everything meant making frequent phone calls, relying on others to give you accurate information, and even some late nights dealing with the changing time zones to follow up on deliveries around the world.

Luckily, the advent of technology and something called a GPS tracking device has made the job of keeping track of things a little bit easier. Here are a few reasons why investing in a GPS tracking device might be a great idea.

Reason # 1: Keep Track of Your Company Vehicles

With the prices of gasoline on today’s market, going on the most efficient delivery route is essential. Prior to the introduction of a GPS tracking device, whether or not your employees strayed on those routes was completely unknown.

Now, by installing a GPS tracking device, you’ll be able to see in an instant where your delivery is, and approximately how long it will take him to get to the destination

Reason # 2: The Safety of Your Employees

Traveling is part of the business world; everyone knows that. In addition, depending on where your employee is going, and what they are carrying, the potential danger might increase accordingly. The ability to keep track of the location of your employee in real time means that you can be there to offer help if needed quickly.

No one likes to think that an accident could happen to one of their employees, but if it does happen, having a GPS tracking device on the vehicle can truly be a life saving device.

Reason # 3: Recovery of Stolen Merchandise

Like it or not, there probably will be a time when a company vehicle is stolen. Most police will tell you that without a GPS tracking device, the likelihood of finding the vehicle before it has been stripped for parts is pretty unlikely.

A GPS tracking device is a great help to police and other criminal authorities in finding and obtaining the stolen vehicle before too much damage has been done.

These are but a few of the reasons why investing in a GPS tracking device for your next company vehicle might be a good idea. The best course of action would be to sit down and consider the different options available to your company, and decide which device is best for you.

Save 40% on Everything at Ritz - Limited Time

November 22nd, 2006 | Tech Bargains

UPDATE: Over the Thanksgiving 2006 weekend, the $20 for $50 promotion has been discontinued for Gift Certificates. (Apparently, 40% off was too good an offer to resist for thousands of purchasers.) The promo is still running until December 19, 2006, but you must purchase a product — $50 or more — using Google Checkout other than a gift cert. Also note that if you use this promotion too many times, your Google account will be flagged and its use either limited or canceled.

Ritz Camera online and our favorite search engine (that rhymes with bugle) have combined for an incredible holiday promotion that can save you 40% on anything Ritz sells: Digital cameras, MP3 players, plasma HDTVs, and over 70,000 other photo and electronics products. This offer is good at RitzCamera.com and WolfCamera.com, as well as Ritz’a outdoors equipment sister sites - BoatersWorld.com, eAngler.com, ShopAtShark.com and OuterBanksOutfitters.com - for those of you who love boating, camping, fishing, golfing, etc.

Basically, the offer is “$20 off of any order $50 or more,” as long as you use Goo-gle’s Checkout to pay for the purchase. Here are the two keys that makes this such an incredible offer (and one that may not last very long):

• The 40% ($20 off $50) offer can be used multiple times, and
• The offer can also be used for $50 gift certificates.

So your $50 certs only cost $30 per, and you can use them in the future anything that Ritz sells online. (NOTE: These certs cannot be used at Ritz Camera centers or other offline stores. They must be used online.) You can use the certs as gifts, use them to buy gifts, or use them to buy yourself that latest gadget at a reduced price.

Once the word gets out, this incredible offer may not last, so don’t delay.
