According to Road Transport, this might change very soon. This magazine argues that within two years, the pay-as-you-go model will be standard when it comes to vehicle tracking.
This model should be able to count on more support, mainly from suppliers of haulage firms, who are not at all in favour of the system of large prepayments and the fact that companies usually spend that money on more staff, instead of investing in the contract. According to Andy Walters, the managing director of Quartix, these suppliers were in part responsible for a sales cycle that is based on an illusion more than on reality.
With a pay-as-you-go-system, it will become easier to invest in the several contracts, which would in turn mean better contracts, and perhaps even better vehicle tracking systems, since money can also be used to invest in those contracts.
Even now, vehicle tracking systems are being developed in order to suit client’s needs better. Take for example the vehicle tracking systems of C-Track. C-Track is an expert in creating vehicle tracking systems that will not only reduce the chances of a vehicle being stolen, but can also save money in two ways. First, a vehicle tracking system will make the recovery of a stolen vehicle easier. Besides that, a vehicle tracking system can also be used to monitor the use of all vehicles, for example on speeding or idling. A great vehicle tracking system will help with efficient fleet management, which will also result in saving costs.
