If your fleet tracking technology relies solely on untethered GPS, you\u2019re just keeping an eye on where your mobile devices are located. Not where your vehicles or other, higher-value assets are, nor their activity and performance. Problem with limited fleet visibility is that it limits your ability to pivot, plan, optimize and maximize.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Detailed fleet tracking and insights make you better able to optimize across more operational categories. Cost management, fuel usage, asset utilization, route efficiency, inventory control, driver hours, safety and compliance\u2014the list is almost endless.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You need to know more than what untethered, GPS-only tracking can tell you. You also need to know vehicle activity, health and performance, all of which premium, tethered fleet tracking delivers directly from the vehicle to you, in near real time. See a side-by-side comparison<\/a>.<\/p>\n These tracking solutions provide location data for the mobile device on which the software or app is installed. These solutions aren\u2019t designed to paint a full picture because their type of technology isn\u2019t directly tied to the vehicle.<\/p>\n These fleet tracking solutions leave nothing to the imagination. They paint a complete picture of the vehicle\u2019s location and activity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Their telematics control unit (TCU<\/a>) connects directly to the vehicle\u2019s databus and streams a rich array of data directly from your fleet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Activity, usage and performance\u2014you get it all, in near real time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Data accuracy and transmission for untethered, GPS-only tracking may be compromised if the signal is blocked, the device is turned off, or someone walks off with the hardware.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You might be tracking a tablet or smartphone that\u2019s not even in the vehicle anymore. Or the operator is in a location with poor connectivity. Either way, you won\u2019t know and won\u2019t get true tracking data.<\/p>\n Premium tethered telematics have multi-connectivity to avoid losing signal and continue capturing the same rich array of vehicle data you expect; big buildings, unfriendly weather, remote locations and all.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tethered telematics don\u2019t stop and always tell the truth.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re operating in California, you know how expensive emissions testing to comply with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Clean Truck Check (CTC) program can be without a certified, remote scanning solution<\/a>. A premium, tethered fleet tracking solution can be set to run remote scans automatically, even while the vehicle is away and in motion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n GPS-only systems can\u2019t do that because they\u2019re not connected to the engine.<\/p>\n Any fleet tracking system is an investment.

Premium, tethered telematics tell all.<\/h3>\n
\n
Rely on spotty signals?<\/h3>\n
Or maintain visibility.<\/h3>\n
Remotely comply with CARB, no downtime.<\/h3>\n
\n
Still not sure which is right for your fleet?<\/h3>\n
