Why Vehicle-Installed GPS Tracking Trumps Smartphones

Modern society runs on smartphones, however

their limitations in fleet management are severe.

Cellphones are unreliable sources of fleet tracking

due to their technical restrictions in day-to-day

operations. Drawbacks such as unreliability and

misplaced power keep smartphones from being a

valuable and dependable fleet management tool.

Why Is Vehicle-Installed GPS Tracking The Smartest Fleet Choice? The Advantages of Vehicle-Installed Tracking vs. Smartphone-Only Tracking

Fleet operators are increasingly concerned about the reliability and performance of cell phone-tracking versus vehicle-installed solutions, according to a recent study.*

Why is Smartphone Tracking a Poor Decision? Let us count the ways.

Phone-based tracking relies

on access to GPS satellites,

requiring constant battery

recharging. Phones can

easily shut off, lose signal

and be victim to employee

tampering.

How Is Vehicle-Installed Tracking More Reliable Than a Phone?

Unlimited Fleet Reports

Core reports, such as the Message Report, allow fleet managers to view actionable data of current and past vehicle activity, including ignition status and total time spent on the road.

Safety Analysis & Driving Event Playback

Vehicle-installed GPS features, such as safety analytics, empower users to view patterns of unsafe driving and replay events, such as harsh braking and stop sign violations, as they happened in real-time.

Cellphones are great for talking with your friends, not your drivers. Using an

unpredictable solution to safeguard vehicles and equipment worth thousands

of dollars is a poor management decision. You can do better.

Investing in a comprehensive fleet management tool is invaluable.

It’s fast, easy and provides complete oversight over every vehicle, driver, job site, mile driven

and gallon of fuel used in your fleet. So let’s leave your driver’s cellphone where it belongs.

In their pocket.

A Variety of Map Views

With a vehicle-installed GPS solution, users can access real-time vehicle locations via multiple map views, including live traffic updates and invaluable routing data.

Real-Time Alerts

Real-time vehicle updates for anything from geo-fence violations to unauthorized fleet activity can be sent directly to a fleet manager’s email address or mobile device.
