GPS uses satellites to track an object’s position with a GPS tracking chip, including vehicles, people and pets. It functions whatever the environmental conditions and provides positional data in real time. GPS has had an essential influence on the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies as one of the first methods for tracking and distributing digital data from the physical world. IoT can collect and measure vast quantities of data for anything from personal health to public vehicles; to provide location information for such items, GPS tracking is necessary.
GPS and IoT are complementary to create a more robust, accessible collection of interconnected data. IoT tracks objects and equipment to provide real-time information and data about the activities of a device, while GPS provides the equipment or object spatial coordinates.

Benefits of GPS tracking system
1. Improving transportation quality and security using IoT-GPS
By tracking the location, we could only know information about which base arrived, departed, etc. until now, but now that we can manage the specific current location, transport quality and security are improved.
You can use it with confidence because you can respond to the inquiries from users in real time.
2. PR of valuable transportation service
It is possible to capture users who have parcels that are difficult to transport by normal transportation
3. Differentiate transportation management using IoT-GPS
Unique management methods from other companies (barcode reading, management of arrival at the base by RFID etc., pick up of passing points on slips, etc.) can be provided, enabling differentiation from other companies and end users to make a proposal to
4. Reduce employee management costs
By having each employee carry a GPS transmitter, it is possible to know “what?, who?, where?” and now based on the location information, and produce employee attendance management and safety management. Can reduce the management cost
If attendance and attendance management is performed based on the accurate time and real-time position information sent by the GPS transmitter, it is less likely that employees will be improperly stamped or missed as compared to the conventional time card method. Even for jobs where there are many direct bounces, such as sales and delivery, you can smoothly engrave on the go from your smartphone or tablet.
If an employee has any trouble, he or she can search for nearby employees based on the location information and promptly go to the site.

Conclusion
People are also confident about the report that GPS and IoT will be merged to promote the knowledge manufacturers need to monitor their goods from warehouse to retail shelves.
Furthermore, When GPS is combined with IoT, it becomes more effective. Together these systems check stock amounts more easily and accurately than humans.
