Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Not cheap, but "With Gofinder Reporter installed we believe small businesses can save around $750 per vehicle per month," said Gofinder founder Graham Thomas. An impressive claim, since that figure excludes costs due to vehicle misuse and fraud.
"With fuel costs rocketing, it is critical that small businesses now monitor company vehicle use far more carefully, and no longer turn a blind eye to employee misuse," he added.
Examples include failing to work agreed hours or exaggerating overtime hours, unauthorised use of company vehicles (eg 'doing a foreigner'), and speeding.
In addition to routine reporting, certain events can be set to trigger alerts via email or (at extra cost) SMS. These include vehicles going outside preset boundaries as well as start and end of journey notification.
"My company has increasingly been fielding enquiries from small business proprietors who suspect – but cannot prove - they are being ripped off by dishonest employees driving company vehicles," said Thomas.
