Geotab

Pros

Geotab captures and aggregates real-world data like no other system we've ever seen. You can watch a truck pulling out of the parking lot in real-time or look back a year ago at exactly how a driver backed into a dock over multiple attempts. You can reconstruct what happened in an accident second-by-second, or re-evaluate all the times your drivers entered or exited a specific location over the entire history of your database on the fly.They also believe the data is *yours*, to keep and use as you see fit, and give full access to their system through a completely open API. The user interface is full-featured and simple, but beyond that, it can be modified, added to, and changed endlessly, allowing you to improve the visibility and access to information you find valuable. It is a system that is uniquely unlike any other we've used in Trucking, a true paradigm shift in the technology of Trucking, and transformative for every customer we've worked with.

Cons

Their greatest strength is also their kryptonite. The features are so forward looking and Geotab is continually releasing new ones... it can be difficult to keep legacy systems up to speed with them. "Traditional" players (Qualcomm/OmniTracs, PeopleNet/Trimble) defined how data would be fed to back-end systems over 20 years ago, and most Transportation Management Systems still use those patterns today.The quality and volume of Geotab data is in a whole new league. Finding a middle ground to emulate the "Traditional" data feeds while also updating those TMS platforms to use the data available through Geotab is an ongoing challenge, but well worth the effort.

Pros

Meanwhile, engine data and environmental monitoring enable you to find out what might be wrong with the vehicle before it requires a major repair. Sophisticated data analysis of fuel consumption integrated with driving behavior, route planning, and control of idle time to give tangible recommendations on minimizing fuel use on the vehicles in the fleet.

Cons

If there are many vehicles in the area, for example, in the center of large cities, the map interface may sometimes freeze. Small growth in content customization for automated report frames. Some of the features that are included in the desktop version are, however, missing in the mobile app.

Pros

This is the best safety complaint Transportation software you will ever use for ELD's, live tracking and so much more... You will Love it!!! ELD Logs are in color and highlighted to display violations for easy viewing. Makes managing your drivers and fleet so easy at a cost that's beats the competitors.

Cons

No Cons to mention. I love everything about Geotab!
