Telematics Solution Evaluation Process
Fleetistics Telematics Solution Evaluation Process (SEP) was developed to mitigate the risk for fleet managers when vetting various technology solutions. We have learned much from working with fleets for over 20 years. Large fleet managers have unique challenges that have the potential for a significant positive or negative impact on a company’s profitability. Choosing the wrong telematics solution can be a risky proposition.
Pilot vs. SEP
The SEPs 60-day process ensures total clarity on everything from installation, to configuration, to training and support. By the end of the SEP process customers know what issues can be resolved and the potential ROI when applied at fleet wide. This process is the only way to ensure a good decision is made. Don’t worry, a business analyst with over 20 years of experience and a highly trained sales team will take you through the process.
