Linxup vs. Verizon Connect

We use it in our delivery vans. I know exactly where the van is at all times. I like the driving alerts to be able to have conversations with the drivers about being better. I also like that it has maintenance reminds I can send out to the drivers. The monthly fee is competitive. I really like the tracking part, so I can see if any driver is not on the assign route and can discuss why.

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.

• Tracking the vehicle
• Traffic violations
• Geofencing
• Maintenance updates

Incentivized

• 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

• I don't like the reports dashboard
• High number of alerts to know
• Tracker gets disconnected sometimes and we have to reboot

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."

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

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

• GPS monitoring is essential because we have had a theft
• Great customer support and dedicated staff
• Maintanence features are great
• Price point

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.
