Advanced Asset Tracking Isn't One Dementional
It might seem pretty obvious how implementing an asset tracking software can help your fleet managers, freight department, and asset management team. But you might be surprised to learn that the information these devices provide can help out a lot of other departments in your company. Today we’re going to focus on the accounting department and how they can use advanced tracking information to make their work faster and easier.
At CallPass, our LANA TMÂ Asset Tracking Software gives you real-time tracking insight while providing customizable reporting and alerts. Now you can run your business the way you want to and always hold the pulse of your operations.
When it comes to installing a GPS tracking device to your powered and nonpowered equipment, you want a platform that goes beyond just location-based knowledge. If you can receive real-time data about the condition of your assets, this can help you improve the reliability of your company as a whole.
Here are five important ways the right real-time GPS tracking solution for your assets can help you run a more efficient, and profitable business:
What Can GPS Trackers Tell You?
- Comprehensive Location Data: location history, live updates, on-demand locating capabilities.
- Alerts For What Matters to You: acceleration, battery, voltage, motion start/stop, ignition on/off, deceleration, speed, temperature.
- Customized reports: asset awareness, Trip summary, mileage, alerts (via text and email), events/scheduling, engine hour, dwell & demurrage, dwell & detention.
So how does all this data help the accounting department? Let’s take a look at these two cases.
Accounting for Large Fleets? We’ve Got an Tracking Solution for That
CallPass was able to help Custom Pine Straw, a pine straw producer/distributor for the South East Continental United States, facilitating a large pool of over 900+ unpowered trailers. Other than the immediate benefits to the fleet managers, Custom Pine Straw was able to help other departments within the company as well.
The accounting department at Custom Pine Straw took advantage of LANA Asset’s many features to make weekly payroll a seamless operation. The asset tracking software allowed them to pay each person for every trailer they loaded and verify the pickup and field so no mistakes were made. Payments were made accurately and on-time, which helps to increase customers’ trust in the company.
”At Custom Pine Straw we do use CallPass in every facet of our business. We use it in accounting weekly for payroll. When we pay each bailor for each trailer they loaded we are able to verify the trailer is in their field and was picked up and brought here.

Accounting for Scrap & Waste Dumpster Leasing? Don’t Waste Your Time and Money
Recycling containers, dump trailers, scrap metal bins, and roll-off containers are a vital part of many companies, whether you use them yourself or rent them out to customers. When moving these scrap and waste assets between job sites, or trusting them in the hands of a customer, knowing their exact location at all times ensures you get your assets back when needed and can move them on to the next job.
With accurate location information, you can know exactly when the asset was dropped off, how long it stayed there, and the moment it was picked up and returned to you. Using LANA Asset, all this information comes to you in the Dwell & Demurrage Report. Your accounting department can then use these numbers to create accurate invoices, collect payments in a timely manner, and combat any disputes.
