"Geotab has stayed ahead of the curve due to its dedication to next-generation concepts such as smart cities,environmental stewardship,and strict data security protocols. Its comprehensive yet affordable data,delivered through its compact and fully open fleet management platform and software development kit,has helped the company expand its vertical and geographical footprint," said Krishna Chaithanya,industry analyst. "The high level of customization possible from this platform makes it one of the most scalable and expandable solutions available."
The main drivers of Geotab's year-on-year subscription growth of more than 30 percent in the last three years has been its exceptional price and performance value. The company serves end users across the spectrum - from very small operations to Fortune 500 companies - with provision of its highly secure platform. It achieves this by focusing on both engineering and minimizing solution development costs to price its products competitively. Furthermore,Geotab has forged strong networks and links with a variety of partners. It reaches out to more than 22,000 customers through its Authorized Geotab Reseller network of 200-plus trusted partners,including some of the world's largest cellular companies,such as AT&T and T-Mobile.
The GO device records vehicle identification numbers (VINs) and odometer readings,offers engine and battery health assessments,and supports communication among fleet operators,drivers,and vehicles on the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network. It constantly updates fleet managers on driver patterns and helps them set benchmarks based on historical data from groups of drivers. Furthermore,it employs differentiated driver coaching solutions with its text-to-speech technology,GOTALK,wherein voice alerts are delivered to drivers when they violate a rule so they can take corrective action.
"While most competing solutions only send an email or desktop alert in the event of an accident,Geotab's portable GO device automatically uploads forensic data to aid the reconstruction of events,even if it only suspects an accident," noted Chaithanya. "The Geotab GO also has the unique ability to detect in-vehicle reverse collisions. The company's 25 patents and applications are a testament to its technological superiority."
Overall,Geotab has leveraged its data architecture and technology centricity to grow,and,ultimately,position itself as a future-proof company.
