For Canadian businesses that rely on fleet vehicles, every truck, van and piece of equipment is a crucial part of their daily operations. Unfortunately, commercial units have also become a common target for thieves, with Alberta having the highest rates of per capita theft. Having items stolen or vandalized can do a number on your bottom line, increase liability, and place operators in the line of unnecessary risks while on the road. Fortunately, Certified Commercial & Fleet Services offers GPS tracking and dash cam technology, making it easier to protect your fleet and reduce your chances of falling victim to commercial theft.

If you’re serious about fleet security, here’s what you need to know about upfitting your vehicle!

Why Fleet Vehicle Security Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought

Fleet security challenges are on the rise. Cargo theft, vehicle vandalism, unauthorized use, and insurance fraud can cause significant disruptions and heavy financial losses for businesses and leave you facing longstanding headaches. The Insurance Bureau of Canada suggests that cargo theft alone costs Canadian businesses hundreds of millions in losses each year. With the overall cost of operations on the rise, no one can afford to lose out. Security losses aren’t just about the cost of asset replacement, either. Theft can leave you unable to deliver efficiently, costing you customers, and can even compromise driver safety. With so much at stake, one thing is clear: Investing in the right security technology isn’t optional—it’s essential.

GPS Tracking: Your First Line of Defense

GPS tracking is a game-changer for fleet security, offering you real-time tracking and other advantages like:

  • Vehicle monitoring so you know exactly where each vehicle is, 24/7.
  • Route optimization that helps increase efficiency and reduce unnecessary mileage.
  • Theft recovery assistance so you can recover stolen assets faster and improve police cooperation.
  • Unauthorized use alerts allow you to set geofences and speed thresholds to detect suspicious behaviour.

GPS tracking also supports regulatory compliance and operational improvements. Companies that implement GPS tracking often see a noticeable boost in efficiency and cost savings over time for maximum ROI.

Dash Cams: Protect Your Drivers and Your Business

Dash cams are quickly becoming a standard feature for commercial fleet operations–and for good reason! The right dash camera system will support your drivers and your assets by providing:

  • Reliable accident documentation; Protects you from false claims and argues your side when it counts.
  • Driver coaching; Review footage to spot and correct risky driving habits before collisions or speeding tickets happen.
  • Insurance benefits; Some insurers offer discounts on annual premiums to fleets with verified dash cam systems.

At Certified Commercial & Fleet Services, we work with you to select the right dash cam solutions for your operations, whether you need forward-facing, driver-facing, or 360° multi-camera setups. View our dash cameras here.
