挑战

PhotoFax was already using a phone-based GPS application to locate investigators and verify proof of services. However, there were several challenges with the phone-based GPS solutions, including: complete reliance on the driver to turn the phone on and launch the GPS application, too easy for the GPS application to be deleted off the phone and finally, phone batteries draining too fast when GPS tracking was on. Even when the ‘stars were aligned,’ the phone GPS application calculated mileage using ‘as the crow flies’ techniques between two GPS points which led to inaccurate mileage readings. John Todaro, in charge of Operations and HR at PhotoFax, was looking for a solution that could provide accurate information for both GPS location and mileage. Mileage needed to be accurate to within 0.5% for handling gas reimbursement on company-driven trucks. He was also looking for a way to easily port the GPS unit to different vehicles as needed. In addition, John wanted to move forward with a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy so that employees could bring their own smartphones to work which would in turn bring down the corporate telecommunication cost significantly ($50,000+ a year).

John’s research led to a few providers that he then put through a comparative analysis. He chose the Azuga G2 solution based on overall functionality, accuracy of location and mileage, customer support and willingness to partner on the product roadmap.
