For this purpose, JIT (Just In Time) process takes very effective role into it. Clients (Customer/Vendor) have to send/receive material as and when required by buyer and strictly within time frame also. In this situation, Ve-hicle Tracking is much useful for de-livery to buyer in time and when they want it for further process with trans-parency also.Material delivery operations man-agement and associated cost translate to a very high proportion of the or-ganizations' total spent. If it is ana-lyzed properly & effectively used, it will bring tremendous cost benefit directly to the organization.Vehicle Tracking Solution gives moral turpitude to the organization & client (Customer/Vendor) in terms of materials/products delivery at ex-pected time.It helps the organization increase goods/materials safety, reduce traffic congestion and accidents, lessen car-bon emissions, and also minimize the overall financial expenses (its direct cost benefits).
