"We specialize in high speed internet for rural areas. We have about 2500 of our own customers in Ontario. We have full time employees, and we use GPS tracking to track their hours. We also use it to dispatch our clients, and give ETAs to our customers accurate to within 15 minutes – which is fantastic. We used to have to call our techs at least 20 times a day to see where they were, but now we barely even need to talk to them. We can just let them do their work. We started just by tracking in-and-out times, but it’s become so much more. Everything from ETAs to when we need to do oil changes of our vehicles, so we can schedule all that in advance."
"We really like to use our GPS tracking system from GPS to GO to watch in real time just where our window cleaning trucks are & how they really got there. Our guys even call us now to ask permission for personal trips with our company vehicles, that sure didn’t happen before we had GPS to GO."
“We do have some other ways we can figure out where a truck is, but hands down most of our fleet managers will turn to the Geotab website to quickly locate where a truck is at any given moment.”
"I have had the units in my vehicles for more than year now I find them very reliable and extremely accurate as to the vehicles location throughout the city. A great tool in the running of my business as far as scheduling and routing appointments for the day. I am very happy with my decision to go with your units and hopefully will be adding more in the near future. Thanks Again Russ."
“We at the Maids here in Brandon Florida have been using GPS since March 2010. We started with 3 hard-wired units from another supplier and used those devices until last week. We added a 4th device in late 2010 – and added our 1st GPS to Go device last spring. Our use of GPS is unique in that we have developed an in-house application that combines data from our GPS suppliers with job schedule information from ServiceCEO allowing us to track not only where are vehicles are, but where they are supposed to be. GPS To Go’s service has proven to be very reliable, and their “event driven” device reporting methodology has proven to be far superior to other suppliers “every 2 minutes” reporting. We end up with more frequent updates of vehicle position and status when the vehicle is en-route, and eliminate the wasteful “every 2 minute” reports of the vehicle spending the night or weekend in the office parking lot. Last week, we switched over completely to GPS to Go with a total of 5 devices.”
“GPS tracking lets them know that there’s accountability if they’re speeding, we know.”
"We are a heating and air conditioning contractor in Ottawa and surrounding area. 3 years ago we put a GPS tracking system in our truck. We had problems with employees using vehicles after hours, inventory missing, and customers complaining about time spent on jobs, thus not wanting to pay invoices. After the first month with GPS tracking, our gas bill dropped by about $1000/month. With GPS system we can go in and verify exact time our technician was on site to settle any disputes with customers. Our dispatcher also uses the GPS tracking to get a technician to a customers location efficiently."
“The fact that we can see their driving habits puts a sharper focus on being safe, efficient and courteous drivers. We can see a trend of improvement. It is fairly remarkable.”
"We find that the GO5 GPS Trackers we received from GPS to GO really allow us to dispatch our disaster response vehicles on the fly to the most urgent areas in real time, saving our ServiceMaster of Durham location a huge amount of unnecessary kilometers on our vehicles and getting us to the customer faster."
"Using the GPS system from GPS to GO has really gone well. It is accomplishing what I wanted it to do including: matching invoicing with sites attended and tracking after hours usage and coffee and lunch runs.We can now effectively monitor # of visits to acquire materials in a day."
“Geotab has helped improve the accuracy of our information for invoicing; it gives us more credibility with our customers, and improves our overall efficiencies. It has become an integral part of our operation.”
"EMCO is Canada’s largest and oldest plumbing supplier. We wanted to verify the whereabouts of our drivers as well as ensure deliveries were on time and as efficient as possible. GPS to GO offered more features than our previous supplier at a comparable, if not lower rate. A lot of these features were what other companies offered but at premium rate. GPS offered us all this under the basic package. We installed plug and play system ourselves – it was very easy and quick, and I installed most on my own. We can now see exactly where our drivers are, [very accurately], and give timely ETAs to our customers. Sequencing and route planning is our number two benefit – allowing us to be more efficient in the field. Also recording of trucks, maintenance tasks, etc. Instead of keeping track of all this manually, the system does so for us, saving us time. The billing is consistent, concise and exactly as I was told it would be. No roaming charges, no overages, which gives me peace of mind."
"GPS to Go has been very helpful to dispatch my service technicians to sites, confirm their locations and identify if our company vehicles are being used for activities other then work related activities. In addition to the device itself, the technical support provided by GPS to Go has been nothing less then outstanding. I’ve called for help many times and have always received an immediate reply to my questions. I believe GPS to Go has been a valuable asset to our organization."
“We wanted to get to a place of predictive maintenance rather than just preventive maintenance. It’s a plug-and-play product — I don’t need to drill holes in my units, cabs, or anything else to make it work.”
"You are right GPS to Go WORKS! We couldn’t be happier with the services. We were even able to resolve a conflict with a customer last week who claimed our technician was on site for 1 hour less than what he was billed. With the GPS report we were able to prove to the customer that the truck was indeed on site even longer than what he got billed for (we simply didn’t charge for the additional time). The customer was satisfied, the company got paid and the technician was relieved to hear that his honesty was no longer in question. The team at GPS to Go are always there and quick to respond to questions or additional service requirements. We wouldn’t consider taking our business anywhere else."
