I guess I forgot to mention an extremely obvious reason why we completely re-architected our landmarks over the past 3 months — SPEED!
GPS Insight allows you to run a “all landmarks, all vehicles” report. I am unaware of any other GPS company which does this (let alone in 2.8 seconds for 50 vehicles and hundreds of landmarks).
With just a couple clicks, I can see EVERY landmark one of our 50 GPS tracking devices for GPS Insight’s “house account” (e.g. our own salespeople, developers, etc.) visited yesterday.
This is the (shortened) report, showing every vehicle’s (50) every stop in every landmark (604):
I just ran the same report for a much larger customer with 750 trucks and 91 landmarks. It took 80 short seconds to run, and quantified almost 150 THOUSAND miles worth of activity, and 6,236 HOURS of activity.
That may be longer than you want to sit and wait for a report — so then you can schedule it to be run automatically and sent to your email daily. In reality, no one looks at a report that big — individual branch or regional managers look at their smaller reports daily, and those still just take a few seconds to run typically.
Please give us a call if you want to set up training on these new capabilities, or advice on how you can use this to achieve better return on your GPS tracking investment.
