Why Vyncs 4G+ Real-time GPS Vehicle Tracking for Commercial Fleets is the Great Choice For Businesses

Vyncs

I confirm that this is a sponsored post that adheres to FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 16 CFR Part 255 of the USA.

 

Vyncs Fleet offers state-of-the-art 4G+ real-time GPS vehicle tracking for commercial fleets, with the latest technology and exclusive features. Vyncs is the #1 best-selling vehicle GPS tracker on many platforms such as Amazon with 2200+ 5-star Reviews, and is supported in 200+ countries worldwide. Our device functions via a vehicle GPS tracker app interface, that you can connect with any smart device (Android/iOS/Alexa/Web) to track, and control your vehicle.

 

Vyncs is ideal for businesses, because of its complete vehicle tracking, and vehicle health solutions features. Vyncs Fleet is a full service connected vehicle product that is loaded with features like real-time GPS vehicle tracking, custom dispatch location on map, vehicle speed tracking, vehicle health monitoring, vehicle recall, fuel cost management, sub-fleet management, and much more.

 

Vyncs Fleet can be connected to any number of vehicles. Once the device is connected to the vehicles, it collects data and sends it to the owner’s account in the cloud, over 4G wireless network in real-time. In this way, employers or owners can view and monitor company vehicles used by employees. Besides reliable real-time GPS tracking, and location tracking, the device also includes data on trips, zone arrival/departure notifications, start/stop street addresses, live maps, anti-theft, and tamper alerts, etc.

 

One feature like geo-fencing, alerts employers when company vehicles enter or exit certain designated parameters, i.e. customized restricted areas. The curfew hours feature notifies employers if the company vehicle is used after office hours, i.e. at customized restricted times. Ignition on-and-off allows employers and account managers to check when, where and for how long the drivers have stopped the vehicle. These features can help employers monitor the use of their company resources by employees.

 

In addition to real-time vehicle GPS tracker, Vyncs provides in-depth information about driving safety, vehicle performance reporting, fuel reporting, emergency roadside assistance, maintenance reminders etc. Employers can check their drivers’ rapid acceleration, harsh braking, and rough cornering on a map. With Vyncs, they can also view the frequency of their drivers’ speeding with the speeding histogram, which shows how much time the driver spends in certain speed ranges, and how much the driver is truly idling (i.e. vehicle not moving but engine running). Employers can also evaluate drivers with the Vyncs Driver Score, which Vyncs calculates from how safe each driving trip is over time. Besides unsafe driving alerts and charts, Vyncs also sends vehicle maintenance alerts for faulty engines or empty fuel tanks.

 

Vyncs collects all the vehicle trouble code data that’s only accessible through the OBD-II port, (usually located below the dashboard) so that you are the first to know exactly what’s happening with your vehicle before it becomes a major issue. Vyncs also sends tamper alerts if your device has been plugged back into your car’s OBD-II port after being removed. Accessing the OBD-II port allows Vyncs to collect detailed reports about your vehicle such as engine lights, emission data, vehicle manufacturer recall notices, vehicle, maintenance, and performance, etc.

 

Vyncs provides an OBD-II extension cable for connecting the Vyncs device with the OBD-II port to collect upgraded information. Vyncs also offers a 12V Power Adapter cable for installing the Vyncs device for businesses that use non-OBD-compliant light or heavy-duty vehicles.

 

Vyncs Fleet device not only allows employers control over company vehicles but can also save their company a lot of money. When Vyncs is connected to your car, you will be able to receive push notifications that alert you of low or empty fuel levels. Besides reminding you to refuel, the device also locates and suggests gas stations nearby based on what has been working best for your vehicle.

 

Along with fuel cost savings, there are also Tax Benefits with Vyncs. When a company vehicle is driven for a certain number of miles for business purposes, you are eligible for tax benefit. Vyncs Fleet 4G+ tracks and records mileage that you can download in an excel-friendly format for your tax filing.

VYNCS FLEET 4G

 

You can also save with safety reports from Vyncs that help you protect your vehicle and get insurance benefits. And finally, with the recall feature that requires information like vehicle make, model and year, Vyncs can also be useful when you choose to sell your vehicles.

 

Vyncs Fleet 4G+ supports connecting any number of vehicles as well as managing multiple sub-fleets within the same account and corresponding sub-fleet managers with due access control. This means that employers or owners can delegate monitoring by appointing their subordinates as sub-managers on the same account without giving them edit rights. 

 

Vyncs Fleet device is a valuable tool for any businesses, irrespective of the industry. By allowing multiple users to track a dispatch map via the same account, companies like logistics, transportation, restaurants, and delivery can easily co-ordinate and plan their day-to-day trips more efficiently. Law enforcement police vehicles and emergency services like ambulance, or fire brigade, can surely appreciate the vehicle tracking alert notifications. Plumbing, mining, and construction companies have truly benefited from our vehicle GPS tracker, especially, to locate and plan multiple, heavy-duty vehicles on large sites. Our devices have proven useful for educational institutes, hospitals, and many other industries.

Eden’s Herbals – Your One-Stop Online CBD Store

Eden's Herbals is an online CBD store

I confirm that this is a sponsored post that adheres to FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 16 CFR Part 255 of the USA.

You might be wondering now what exactly CBD is? It is an acronym for Cannabidiol, which is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Today the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested and confirmed by scientists and doctors around the world. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.

Eden's Herbals CBD Body Lotion

Extensive scientific research – much of it sponsored by the U.S. government – and mounting anecdotal accounts from patients and physicians highlight CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of maladies, including (but not limited to):

  • Autoimmune diseases (inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis)
  • Neurological conditions (Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Huntington’s chorea, stroke, traumatic brain injury)
  • Metabolic syndrome (diabetes, obesity)
  • Neuropsychiatric illness (autism, ADHDPTSD, alcoholism)
  • Gut disorders (colitis, Crohn’s)
  • Cardiovascular dysfunction (atherosclerosis, arrhythmia)
  • Skin disease (acne, dermatitis, psoriasis)

CBD has proven neuroprotective effects and its anti-cancer properties are being investigated at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere. A 2010 brain cancer study by California scientists found that CBD “enhances the inhibitory effects of THC on human glioblastoma cell proliferation and survival.” This means that CBD makes THC even more potent as an anticancer substance.

For your information, THC is the acronym for a crystalline compound that is the main active ingredient of cannabis.

Eden's Herbals Eve's Apple

I love gummies like the one above, named Eve’s apple, where you cannot resist a bite. It comes in 20 large apple gummies containing 1,200mg CBD in a bag. The packet in green theme, suitable as a Christmas present, is easy to tear with an air-tight zip lock, for easy storing for later consumption. As with all gummies, these are coating with some sugar for the sweet taste. It is suitable for both kids and adults alike. 

Eden's Herbals Gummy Bears

The picture above with 6 colorful gummy bears in a packet is certainly a sight to behold. Now is the time of Christmas, a time for giving and receiving. And this is the reason for the season. When I see the Christmas tree, so well lit with golden baubles and colorful decorations, I am reminded of these gummy bears above to gift some people and make their day.

According to Wikipedia, “A pearl is a hard, glistening object produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk or another animal, such as fossil conulariids. Just like the shell of a mollusk, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has deposited in concentric layers.”

Color: Black, White, Grey, Purple, Pink, Blue, Yellow, Green, Brown, Orange

Luster: Pearly

The rare pearls are South Sea Pearls that are mainly black or forrest green with round texture. There are baroque pearls too with various shapes other than the perfect round ones, which are more costly. I have a few pearls myself, including a pearl earrings, pearl necklace and pearl designer bracelet.

One Caveat though: never wear your pearls while bathing, aa the liquid soap or shampoo will de-lustre the pearl texture and make them dull. The liquid soap will remove the shinny layer that makes the pearls so attractive and valuable.

Just like the shell of a mollusk, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate (mainly aragonite or a mixture of aragonite and calcite) in minute crystalline form, which has deposited in concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes, known as baroque pearls, can occur.

About Pearls

For centuries, pearls have been a symbol of beauty and purity. Today, they are regarded as both classic and contemporary, coming in many more fashionable styles than your grandmother’s traditional strand of pearls.

Learning about types of pearls is important when adding items to your jewelry collection.

 

Pearl Education

pearls

Pearls, natural or cultured, are formed when a mollusk produces layers of nacre (pronounced NAY-kur) around some type of irritant inside its shell. In natural pearls, the irritant may be another organism from the water. In cultured pearls, a mother-of-pearl bead or a piece of tissue is inserted (by man) into the mollusk to start the process.

For both, the quality of the nacre dictates the quality of the luster, or shine of the pearl, which is very important to its beauty and its value. The surface of the pearl should be smooth and free of marks while the overall shape could be round, oval, pear-shaped, or even misshapen. Misshapen pearls are called baroque pearls.

While shopping for pearls, there are various lengths available:

  • collar fits directly against the throat
  • A choker rests at the base of the neck
  • The princess length reaches near the collarbone
  • matinee length is usually 20-24 inches
  • The Opera length is 30-36 inches
  • The longest length, known as a rope, refers to all strands longer than 36 inches

Necklaces can also be classified as uniform (where all pearls are about the same size) or graduated (pearls change uniformly from ends to center).

Pearly Lustre

Natural Pearls

Natural pearls are extremely rare. Historically, many were found in the Persian Gulf; unfortunately, today, most have already been harvested. You may be able to purchase small, natural pearls, but they will be costly.

 

Cultured Pearls

Cultured pearls are grown in pearl farms. The mollusks are raised until they are old enough to accept the mother-of-pearl bead nucleus. Through a delicate surgical procedure, the technician implants the bead and then the mollusks are returned to the water and cared for while the pearl forms.

Not all produce a pearl; and not all the pearls are high quality. Over 10,000 pearls may be sorted before a 16” single strand of beautifully matched pearls is assembled.

Pearls can be found in saltwater and in freshwater. There are also different types of mollusks that produce very different looking pearls.

Pearly Lustre

Saltwater Pearls

Saltwater pearls include the akoya cultured pearls grown in Japanese and Chinese waters. They range in size from 2mm (tiny) to 10mm (rare) and are usually white or cream in color and round in shape.

Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines produce the South Sea pearl – the largest of all the pearls. They range in size from 9mm to 20mm and can be naturally white, cream, or golden in color.

Tahitian pearls are interestingly not exclusively from Tahiti – they’re grown in several of the islands of French Polynesia, including Tahiti. Their typical sizes range from 8mm to 16mm. These naturally colored pearls are collectively called black pearls, but their colors include gray, blue, green, and purple.

 

Freshwater Pearls

These pearls are grown in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds, predominately in China. Although many are white and resemble the akoya cultured pearls in shape and size, they can also be produced in various shapes and in an array of pastel colors.

Many freshwater pearls don’t have a bead nucleus — only a piece of tissue — resulting in a pearl with thicker nacre than the akoya.
