I have a daily report which comes to me which tells me how close we are to hitting 2 major Alert milestones:
GPS Insight's Millionth Alert and Billionth Check are coming soon!
We are very close to sending our MILLIONTH alert out.
Shortly thereafter (unless drivers stop causing alerts which, uh, isn’t very likely…), we will process our BILLIONTH alert check.
We process a huge number of alerts checks and send quite a few each day.
In the short time I’ve been typing this blog article, we have processed 15,282 checks, yielding a relatively small number of alerts — 3.
This is because it’s night and most of our customers’ drivers aren’t driving, let alone speeding, idling, or going in or out of landmarks. Chances are those were odd-hours alerts…
I’ll let everyone know when we hit these marks.
[worth noting, on 8/15/2009, when I last wrote about this, we were only at 350 million checks and 419,000 alerts. Customers are really starting to utilize our alerts more now than they have in the past]
