Found When You Need It, Silent When You Don’t: A Different Way to Track Rental Assets
Standard GPS tracking solves one problem and creates two more for rental and leasing operators. It helps you find a stolen or abandoned vehicle, but the monthly subscription fees add up fast across a large fleet, and continuously logging a renter’s movements raises privacy questions that most operators would rather not have to answer.

From Lagging to Leading: Rethinking How Fleet Safety Gets Measured

Fitting a permanent IVMS to every vehicle in that mix isn’t realistic, and […]
