The section “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’
Requirements” from the article “The Evolution of Telematics” (Flecter &
Suizo, 2011), it introduces the functionality, features, and benefits of GPS
Insight, which primarily provides “asset and vehicle tracking solutions”. The
main function of GPS Insight is to retrieve and relay back data collected to
the user for analysis, all while happening in real time. The product
description also stated that the features of GPS Insight are “configurable and
customizable” according to the user’s requirements and preferences. To be able
to meet user’s ever-changing demands and requests, GPS Insight introduces new
features based on user’s response and feedback. Due to GPS Insight’s
customizability, it is able to perform at different degrees of
comprehensiveness, making it a versatile product.
“GPS insight” has been going through rapid
developments, with new features and enhanced specifications to attract more
users. Of all the features, Quick theft recovery provides fast alert to user
when their assets or vehicles are stolen. The added feature gives user greater
security and peace of mind. With real-time fleet visibility, users can locate
the historical data of their fleet efficiently via mobile or any desktop. From
the article “Cell Phone Tracking vs GPS Vehicle Tracking” (2016), some obvious
drawbacks of the Cell Phone tracking are it can only monitor a short range of
location, inconsistencies in relaying alert and report to user. The user may
have a tendency of “losing the phone”,” weak signal strength” and phone
batteries “die”. Or once the phone is turn off, it is impossible to track fleet
user. For GPS Vehicle Tracking, fleet user can monitor vehicle location,
current status or problem they want to alert about.
On one hand, these features help to reduce fuel,
labour and maintenance costs. On the other hand, the features also increase the
productivity of employees. Given the rising pressure on fleet companies in the
efforts to reduce carbon foot-prints, eco-friendly products are developed via
green technology. The growing acceptance by the customers has led to a
progressive growth in the markets.
Fleet providing companies utilize unique features
which mainly target fleet-specific needs to slash down costs and boost
productivity. Auto-mobile industries are introducing a new line-up of
in-vehicle for individual seeking conveniences. Even telecommunication
companies are using device equipped with features such as emergency services
and navigation.
From the article “Our Story” (Donat, 2004), he has
helped the trucking companies with GPS tracking software with customizable
features, without additional costs. GPS insights was also in collaboration with
business and government agencies with fleets of vehicles. They have shared the
common mission of increasing revenues for mobile assets, as well as to reduced
costs and risks.
All these characteristics demonstrates that GPS
insight has been offering a wide ranges of product solutions, which constantly meet
the growing demand by the customers. It will benefit fleet drivers, as
they can get their vehicle enhanced with safety features. At an affordable
cost, users can enjoy a greater road safety down the road. In a large extent,
this has benefited the company and its consumer.
