Electrical Integration Professionals: how knowing where the vans are changed how the crew shows up
At Electrical Integration Professionals, the problems were the kind every small contractor knows. A technician would be late to a job. Another wouldn't show up at all. A company van would be out on a Saturday night, nowhere near a job site. And the owners had no way to know any of it until a customer called.
President Daniel Christian had tried a tracking provider years earlier and dropped it. When he tried again with One Step GPS, the biggest change wasn't on the map. It was in how his crew behaved once they knew the data was there.

The problem
Without tracking, the office ran on trust and phone calls. Managers couldn't confirm when a technician reached a site, how fast the vans were driven, or how long they sat idling. Personal use on nights and weekends was costing the company money in fuel and wear. When a technician ran late, the customer usually found out before the office did.What was deployed
- GPS trackers across the van and truck fleet.
- Speed alerts with a clear rule: drivers may run up to 8 mph over the limit. Anything beyond that sends an email to management.
- Live location and trip history, used to confirm arrival times at job sites and to spot after-hours use.
- Idle reports showing how long each vehicle runs while parked.
