GPS Insight Blog

GPS Insight partnered with design powerhouse bluemedia to create our new company vehicle, shown below:

They were great to work with, and did a phenomenal job of designing, producing, and installing this wrap for us in virtually no time.

Here was our final design (took about 3 changes to get right, only 30 minutes of my time):

From their website: “bluemedia is a leading provider of design and printing for use in vehicle, large format and environmental graphic applications for B-to-B and B-to-C organizations. Through its combination of cutting edge technology, nontraditional approach to ideas and design expertise, bluemedia helps companies get noticed and gain market share through highly relevant communications.” They are offering a 15% discount to any of our customers on their first wrap — Call Mike Greco, his phone number is 480-317-1333 and his email is mike.greco@bluemedia.com.

They sent me the top picture, which helped answer a question I had — why did they drive it 6 miles after they wrapped it? They obviously have a nice deserted desert parking lot (pardon the pun) where they take their vehicles to add pictures to their substantial portfolio.

We track this vehicle with 2 different tracking devices (one gives diagnostics data and 2 minute updates, and one is less expensive, and gives 30 second updates), and I noticed they had driven the vehicle after wrapping it. I saw this while I was doing a demonstration of our product that day to a customer. It just seemed odd — they weren’t speeding or anything, and didn’t take it anywhere like a restaurant, etc.

I ran a history for the day they wrapped it like this:

And started to zoom down on the activity in question:

They took a very quick photo at this spot, not even stopping long enough to register a stop (2 minues):

This is the Phoenix Zoo, (which we already had landmarked for some reason), and I wondered why the Scion had gone there earlier today when I looked through our weekly Scion landmark report which I have delivered to my email weekly.

Here’s the landmark report (both by landmark as well as by vehicle (technically 1 vehicle but it counts as 2 since we have 2 different devices in it):

Note it only takes .26 seconds to run that report for a week’s activity. Anyway, it wouldn’t be a blog article unless I threw in some ways you can use GPS Insight to help you gain understanding and accountability of your fleet.

But it’s more fun to drive this car than read the reports on it. Here are a couple more pictures of the car — it’s coming to a trade show near you!…

Thanks again to bluemedia! — Give Mike Greco a call at 480-317-1333/480-452-4114 or email him at mike.greco@bluemedia.com and he’ll be happy to help you with your vehicle’s wrap (and make sure you have us track it while you’re at it…)!

By the way, they also have a great blog at www.bluemedia.com/blueline.

Thanks,

Rob.
