Why Construction Companies Need SafeGps

Construction and construction companies manage a large fleet of vehicles and heavy equipment every day: trucks, excavators, loaders, concrete mixers and construction machinery moving across multiple locations.

Effective management of this fleet is not only about productivity but also about compliance with legislation, equipment protection and reducing operating costs.

SafeGps, utilizing Teltonika professional GPS devices, offers a comprehensive vehicle and machinery tracking system designed for the needs of companies in the construction industry.

Proper fleet management means:

• In Greece, from 2023 it is mandatory for vehicles transporting excavation, construction and demolition waste (AEKKK) to have a GPS tracker to monitor their routes.

The system records:

• location
• routes
• stops
• operating time

The data must be kept for at least one year and be available for inspections by the authorities.
Objective of the legislation:

• prevention of illegal waste disposal
• traceability of material transport
• transparency in waste management

GPS systems allow:

• route optimization
• reduction of unnecessary trips
• limitation of idle operation of machines

This leads to lower fuel consumption and fewer CO₂ emissions.

By monitoring trucks:

• we know exactly where materials are dumped
• possible illegal dumps are identified
• there is full waste traceability

With features like geofencing:

• notify if machine leaves the jobsite
• ability to locate stolen equipment

The systems monitor:

• vehicle speed
• driver behavior
• machinery operating zones

This reduces accidents and helps comply with health and safety regulations.
