A company called Gulf States has managed to help Toyota keep track of their delivery of vehicles to car dealers in America. Toyota has over 190,000 vehicles going through their warehouse each year and it is a big job to organise this.

Using a vehicle tracking system called WhereNet they have been able to avoid extending their already huge warehouse facility. This was going to be a necessity, so that they could cope with the number of vehicles. Now they are so much more efficient due to the WhereNet GPS tracking system that they do not need to build new warehouses. This has saved Toyota a fortune. They can now cope with more vehicles than they are currently dealing with.

The reason for the increased efficiency is due to the fact that staff do not have to constantly walk the premises looking for different vehicles that need delivering to the dealers. They can simply track them throughout the warehouse from the office. Therefore they now know where all the vehicles are and can locate them in a fraction of the time.

GPS tracking is used for a whole host of activities, but this has to be one of the more unusual uses for the technology.
