<p>Regardless of the size of your landscaping company, you have equipment you can't afford to lose, often sprawled across multiple job sites. Installing GPS trackers on your vehicles and equipment such as lawnmowers or generators will help your crew use their machinery more efficiently and help keep your assets secure.</p>
<p><strong>Strengthen Your Security</strong></p>
<p><span>If one of your company vehicles or pieces of equipment is ever stolen, your tracker will lead law enforcement straight to your asset, so it can be recovered swiftly. Using <a href="/what-are-geofence-alerts">GPS boundary features, you can receive mobile alerts</a> the moment your asset leaves a job site or another designated location, so you'll know the moment a theft occurs.</span></p>
<p><strong>Increase Efficiency</strong></p>
<p><span>By using GPS trackers, you'll always know where your equipment is and how long it has been on a job site. You'll have a bird's-eye view of your job sites and machinery, so it's easier to see the big picture and direct your employees and equipment to where they can be most effective. </span></p>
<p><strong>The Hapn GPS Platform</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Once you install a GPS tracker, you can monitor it in real-time using the </span><a data-cke-saved-href="https://gethapn.com/" href="https://gethapn.com/"><span>Hapn GPS Platform</span></a><span>. This straightforward, intuitive software lets you see all your trackers at once, and you can use convenient filters to hone in on the data you need. You can access the software with a computer or via mobile, so whether you're in the office or on the go, you can always monitor your crew. Features like color-coding and customizable map views allow you to view your assets in a way that makes sense to you. </span></p>
