The Challenge
Quik Pik-All Over Towing had tried three GPS tracking systems prior to GPS Insight. The company was in the market for a product that had superior software and would give them full control of their fleet. The real issue with the other providers was their refresh rate and location accuracy. The refresh rates were too slow for Joe’s business, showing trucks in locations they were no longer in. Accurate GPS tracking technology is extremely important for Quik Pik-All Over Towing, as the nature of the towing business, being primary responders to accident scenes with PD, Fire, and Rescue, absolutely requires them to know the exact location of all their trucks for making instantaneous decisions for dispatching, ensuring quick response times to calls.
