TELEMATICS MISCONCEPTIONS

misconception: Telematics will anger Drivers and kill morale
reality: Some drivers may complain that 'big brother' is watching, but the majority will see that it actually helps them do a good job.

misconception: Small to Mid-size fleets don't need it
reality: We are living in a time of great disruption fueled by digital technologies. The way companies work tomorrow will be very different from how they work today. By embracing modern technologies and making the most of change, companies can stay one step ahead of the competition.

misconception: Telematics is too Expensive
reality: Telematics can help a fleet save far more than its initial cost. Ask the provider to show you how they can save you $. It's only costly if you don't find the ROI.

misconception: The Cheapest solution is the Best solution
reality: Finding a solution that fits your unique goals and business needs will yield greater ROI. Don't let price drive your decision.

misconception: All telematics technologies are Alike
reality: There are vast differences between providers. You have many choices when it comes to hardware, software, available features, dashboards, alerts, reports, customer service and consulting.

reality: Not every solution is scalable. Some providers have very limited functionality that some fleets will eventually grow out of.
