If a job can be completed by an automatic machine in half the time with fewer expenditures and less room for human errors, then a company would benefit greatly from switching to an automated methodology. A very simple example of automation in day-to-day life can be morning coffee. Once upon a time, the individual would have to wake earlier to brew the first coffee but with automation, a coffee machine can be scheduled to prepare your coffee for you through mobile phones.

Few advantages automation provides to fleet tracking are:
