Tracking and monitoring applications offer significant advantages, particularly in financial, employee, and time management. By utilizing vehicle tracking systems, organizations can improve financial oversight through efficient fuel management and better monitoring of driver behavior.
When you buy a car most of the times it has an incorporated GPS so if someone stole to you, just go and look for it.
In the zoo they put a ship to the animal so if they are stolen or they scape you just have to trace it.
For example in the phones (apple) they have a ship so if you lost it there’s an app where you can trace it easily.
