Nomination Title: GPS Insight Fleet Tracking Solution

Tell the story about this nominated product or service (up to 500 words). Describe its function, features, benefits, and performance to date.

GPS Insight’s competitive edge is its web-based software. We specialize in software development and are continually advancing our platform. We embrace customer requests in a way most other GPS companies don’t, and were specifically founded based on this premise. The following features of our fleet and asset tracking solution are just a few reasons why GPS Insight provides the most technologically advanced solution on the market.

The GPS Insight client interface is quick and infinitely configurable. The unique GPS Insight “Dashboard” allows the user to customize, save, and share several configurable views. Moveable “dashlets” provide insight via real-time maps, vehicle location lists, alerts, graphs, messages, landmark visits, and more.

GPS Insight provides an industry leading 30+ reports to quantify all aspects of driver efficiency. All reports include links to export or map data in Excel, 2D-style mapping, or 3D Google Earth. GPS Insight’s scheduled alerts and reports are configurable to allow for filtering the alert by vehicle, time, landmark groups, driver, or a number of other options. Alerts can be delivered via email, SMS text message, or Garmin to allow for prompt delivery of the exception notification.

GPS Insight leverages multiple mapping applications to ensure a feature-rich mapping experience for the end-user. The 3D Google Earth mapping platform allows for a very configurable mapping experience, while our 2D style mapping is often preferred for dispatch applications. With 3D satellite imagery, customers can take advantage of Street View images, as well as create highly precise landmarks to increase the accuracy of fleet monitoring.

We also integrate with Garmin nüvi devices, the easiest way to message and send routes to a fleet of vehicles. Once the driver receives the route, the driver is guided to all stops for the day. The device also acts as a 2-way communication device between management and field workers, which is a great solution to the bans on texting while driving. This capability generates highly efficient dispatching for customers.

We understand that our customers cannot just sit behind a desk monitoring their fleet all day. We have integrated with Google Mobile Maps and also have developed an iPhone/iPad application and soon to be Android application to provide mobile access, allowing tracking and communication with their fleet from anywhere, at any time.

GPS Insight’s Fleet Tracking Solution dramatically reduces customer’s fleet and asset costs, has helped customers to win EPA Awards, and aids in rapid theft recovery, to name a few benefits our software provides. Our unique dashboard setup, in-depth reports/alerts, and third-party integration capabilities help keep GPS Insight the most technologically advanced fleet & asset management software solution on the market today.
