Most of our competitors give you 3 months of history availability, maybe 6.
Starting in June of 2007, GPS Insight has kept every bit of our customers’ data indefinitely (unless they specifically ask otherwise).
Here is an illustration of going back 2 years for a customer of ours and comparing their 1/2008 mileage vs. their 8/2009 mileage (they have added trucks since then):
Here is January of 2008’s summary:
Compared to last month (where they did over twice as many miles in spite of the economy I’m glad to see!):
Note their max speed is 89 again, almost 2 years later. Their vehicles are probably throttled and it will be trivial to find those speeding events for both months:
Here is the full report, if you want to see what the 1/2008 report looks like:
Both reports took less than a second to run, even though we’re talking about almost a million miles worth of data to crunch through.
If you need more than 3 years worth, just ask — we’ll be able to accommodate that, and if you need access to something over 3 years ago, we can always get it for you from an archive — for free (vs. the thousands of dollars we’ve heard it may cost you to get from other GPS tracking companies)…
Also, we have several “big picture” reports & graphs coming to allow you to see large scale trends across months or years within your fleet. We wouldn’t be able to provide these to customers without at least a couple years’ worth of data, which is why we keep it for your benefit.
