Product Description Summary & Analysis (Draft 3):

   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.
