selecting the right telematics product

No two fleets are the same, so telematics solutions should be just as unique.
Before deciding on a trailer tracking solutions, fleet managers should thoroughly assess their areas of need and consider which option can best optimize their fleet’s performance. The best solution will be tailored to their specific concerns, able to seamlessly integrate into their operation and offer both ease of installation and ease of use.

So what are some things fleet should consider when choosing a telematics provider?

Make sure your fleet is thinking about data ownership – take a look at the software term s of service to learn who owned the data gathered from the solutions.

Whether you own the data or not, make sure that you’re able to do what you need to do with it. If you have a service provider that isn’t open to working with other partied to accomplish your goals, you might want to think about pulling your data and finding another partner.

Other points to consider are the longevity/reliability of the provider; what services are offered; if it’s a cloud- or app-based; and how the system is mounted to the trailer.

A great telematics solution provides more than just the location of the assets or raw data points. Instead, it can provide the right tools and insights to drive efficiency and profitability. Critical data points should be captured and packaged in reporting and alerting tools that help drive use cases around utilization, asset health management, detention, etc.
