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.

Why Vehicle-Installed GPS Tracking Trumps Smartphones
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.
