Detrack vs. Verizon Connect

As a trainer for the use of the software, it was surprisingly easy to explain to the final users how the software works, and being able to do that shorted the time for the theory training and left more room for the practical training, as for the actual use of the software it's very well suited to do what is meant to do, tracking is easy, implementation is fast, honestly teaching it was a breeze.

For overall fleet management, maintenance scheduling, employee tracking and equipment tracking this service seems like it is an all in one package that hit all the check boxes my firm needed.

The issue is lack of hardware and software updates and support, and what appears to be an over taxed cell network that is not allowing any of these devices to work correctly.

• Automated Communications
• Order Tracking
• Route tracking/updates easing dispatch

• Transit temperature monitoring - Verizon Connect allows us to fill in previously missing temperature information for food products in transit.
• Vehicle location monitoring - While not our primary goal, we are able to use Verizon Connect to see if any of our vehicles has stopped for an excessive amount of time. This helps us ensure safety of our vehicle drivers.

Incentivized

• Synchronisation may fail at times.
• Graphic designed could be more attractive as it feels dull at the time.
• Security options could be higher.

Incentivized

• Contractor install is very cumbersome, inconvenient, and causes downtime.
• Tracking had lots of unexplained glitches, thousands of miles added and lost to various trucks out of nowhere.
• Customer Service is quick to "open a case" on any issues, but lacks follow-up and solutions.
• Lots of problems are "sent to development."

Does mostly everything we need but could use some increased functionality without the requirement of switching screens

Verizon Connect has great customer service. Our account manager has always replied quickly to any inquiries of mine and has been very knowledgeable and reliable. Drivers who've occasionally needed to call into the customer service helpline have quickly had their questions answered and problems resolved. All reports I've received from them about their experiences have been positive, stating that the Verizon Connect employees have been courteous and helpful, resolving their issue quickly and efficiently.

Detrack makes a difference in the time used for training new agents, while veteran agents who are already used to the software of this sort got entangled with the program very easily; the synchronization issues that were the main use in most of the complaints we received were fairly fixed but the impact was not as bad as it could sound but is a pebble in the road nevertheless. Compared to previous programs that we use in different campaigns, which can be very raw than Detrack we had an amazing time using it and teaching it.

Verizon is more precise with GPS, but the easy installation and quick onboarding make Motive the winner. Verizon connect has better accuracy and less chance of removal, but the interface set up take away from its ease of use. Motive is easily installed and can be transferred between vehicles that Verizon connect cannot.

Incentivized

• Reduction of staff required through automation
• Increased customer satisfaction through solid communication tools
• Ease of dispatch to drivers

Incentivized

• Costly compared to other GPS programs.
• Tied to long term contracts. Representatives do not know how to cancel service.
• Must wait until the end of the contract to request cancellation. If you miss date, you are tied to another 3 years.
