WorkWave Route Manager is a route optimization software for delivery businesses from IFS company WorkWave (since the 2017 acquisition) emphasizing route optimization, integration with GPS, and shipping tracking status, among other capabilities.
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.
WorkWave Route Manager is good for companies that are planning routes with multiple stops and multiple trucks. If your company is using whole truckloads to single locations, then WorkWave is not as helpful.
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.
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.
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.
