They put the GPS device on the windshield and and the mapping program had real time guidance to the prospects with accuracy. A process that saved a rep 3 weeks to prepare a sales blitz before 8 to 10 reps came into a market to make sales calls. In 2002, after retiring, I was hired as a contractor to train and market GPS technology to new car dealerships and fleet. The ROI and value GPS provides is very real, and management don't understand how a device like fleet tracking and reporting using GPS technology can reduce costs for fuel as well as maintenance will kore than justify the costs of using a good GPS product. I have heard many times from various companies a need for tracking trailers, but the technology was not available or cost affordable. However, I understand there is a product out now that is affordable and uses the energy from the trailer hook-up to the cab that provides power to the gps device for up to a year. If this is true, I would like to learn more about it.
