While there are several tracking systems that are out there that claim to protect one from theft and loss, LoJack among others suffer a distinct disadvantage in comparison to GPS tracking. For one, with the opening of the United States military navigation systems (GPS) for the use of the general public, one has 24 satellites (normally three when running a search) at their disposal to provide accurate time and location of any asset or vehicle that is in transit.

However, another invention that has become popular with users who use GPS for personal service is Cell phone GPS tracking but most organizations that use it (as it is most economical) often end up replacing it with far more advanced GPS tracking systems in order to track their employees with greater accuracy who have no chance of tampering with the product.

When it comes to real time GPS vehicle tracking, the installation of a GPS unit and antenna will well and surely ensure that no such thing occurs, and times and locations of the vehicles in question are computed to perfection.

Again, the objective of obtaining this certification depends on what your overall company objectives are. What is meant by this is that some companies who already have an excellent reputation in the industry might desire to stay relevant by keeping their business processes compliant with the latest standards offered by ISO, or even want to penetrate a new market and thus need specific certifications such as the CE certification which, if accepted, will allow for one to offer their products in the European market in this case.

While documentation templates and online training is offered by consultants, there is no doubt that the standards involved are stringent, and require a lot of planning regardless of whether you are a medium or small-sized company.
