We get a lot of calls asking about GPS TRACKING Hardware – Plan Cost.
Firstly, GPS TRACKING is not really a cost. It is a valuable asset that can reduce fuel cost, enhance customer service, reduce over-time and secure your assets.When you look at it from this avenue,even though there is a financial outlay, the cost is returned to you many fold.
The next thing one has to look at, even before asking about GPS TRACKING Hardware and Plan Cost, is comparing APPLES to APPLES. Not all hardware and plans are equal.There are very inexpensive hardware offerings and plans that do not offer much. What do you need?
What do you want from your investment should be the next question you ask yourself.
After that, ask about:
CUSTOMER SERVICE– How hard is it to access SUPPORT when needed?.
Hours of Access- Who can you call after regular business hours or a regular work week and speak to a person who can help?.
What else will they potentially do for you after you have received, set-up and paid for the hardware?
Reliability of the hardware and the platform.Remember- compare Apples to Apples- Not all hardware is created equal.
Platforms can be easy with nothing in them; Daunting with lots of potential if you have the time to figure them out..or.. They can be full of Items that are easily accessed. Which would you choose?.
How accurate is the data and how does that transpose to the platform?
There are some that will be accurate withing 20 meters and then others that will be accurate to within 2-5 meters.
Many potential customers call us because their CONTRACT with xyz TRACKING COMPANY is about to expire!
Did they say CONTRACT??? Why did they go with a CONTRACT supplier? Why not go with a company that uses GOOD- QUALITY hardware that can be moved if you are not happy- with NO SIGNUP- ACTIVATION- CANCELLATION Fees or Contracts. In addition, if that company offers all or most of the above- Isn’t the choice a NO-BRAINER?
A few Comparisons:
We know of companies that offer very low monthly plans and decent hardware.
How do they make their money? On a CONTRACT of 2-3 years and at the end of the hardware is never yours. They own it!
We know of companies that charge HIGH rates for their plans but very little upfront for the hardware.
How do they do it? They have rolled in the REAL cost of the hardware into the plan charge.
We know of a company that has a very low monthly fee for their BUY-HERE – PAY HERE units.
How do they do it? Their HEARTBEAT update time is once every 2 days ( or longer) with no instant update feature.
How does that help the customer find and retrieve their asset?
These are just a few most common things one should think about before asking about GPS TRACKING Hardware – Plan Cost.
Know what you want.. Know what you need.. ask all the right questions.. and save on your bottom line utilizing GPS TRACKING.
