The software had slow updates and inaccurate location data as well as inaccurate reporting, which made it tough to audit time cards.

They were comparing cost of purchase vs. cost of rental. They were also conscious of contracts this time around. They did not want to work with another GPS vendor that would lock them into a long contract. The company was also looking for a user-friendly dashboard interface that had the ability to customize views. Each dispatcher needs to view different locations and service vehicles, so the ability for each dispatcher to have their own login with their own custom dashboard was critical. Read More
