GPS Insight’s Fleet Tracking Software Sends out Its Millionth Alert

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GPS Insight, a leading supplier of GPS tracking hardware and software solutions for commercial and government fleets, has sent out its millionth GPS-based alert.

GPS Insight alerts allow fleet managers to send proactive email or SMS messages to themselves, their supervisors or directly to drivers when they violate various driving policies. These alerts are sent for issues such as speeding, excessive idling, odd-hours usage, landmark arrival or departure, and long stops. They can be made extremely specific by selecting only certain vehicles, certain times, certain days, within certain landmark groups, and in any combination.

This unique combination of fleet tracking alert types enables customers to weed out false alerts and concentrate on only truly exceptional situations. While over 1 million alerts have been sent, customer-defined alerts have been checked almost 1 billion times.

“GPS Insight alerts allow customers to define precise rules, and then be notified only when those rules are broken. We check every single minute of every day, for every alert. Only one in a thousand checks yields an actual alert message. Our alerts not only help correct problem driving behavior, but they also increase efficiency. Examples include notifying employees when vehicles approach a loading dock or hotel entrance so that they can be ready for them, or proactively notifying an appropriate person that a vehicle has been parked too long at a particular type of landmark. One of the most useful features of our alerts is the anonymous way we notify drivers of problem behavior by sending them an alert to their phone or email. This way the message comes from GPS Insight – not the Supervisor – and sometimes eliminates the need for difficult conversations about driver behavior. We have seen remarkable, immediate reductions in improper driver behavior when drivers are sent alerts directly from GPS Insight,” Robert Donat, President of GPS Insight commented.
