Good overall. Waiting to see what new innovation that can improve them system. The system has been stable with only a few issues nothing major. The support is what makes the difference. All the ELD system are basically the same. The stability and support are the most important along with cost.

Pros

The support we receive from our SR Andrei Sakalouski and Sale rep \[sensitive content hidden\] They make the difference by being available and willing solve issues asap. They are one of the major reasons we have stay with Platform Science.

Cons

Since the takeover of PS they seem to roll new things out before properly vetting them. Nothing that they have not fixed but wish they would slow down until they are sure new updates are working correctly.

Reasons for choosing Platform Science

Teh support form or CR and Sale rep is a major factor. Cost is another. With unlimited data we have developed training and other app that make this more of a fit for us as company.

Pros

Great support at both the administrative and driver/operations level. PS Support team during installations process is very proactive and helpful. Portal is easy to navigate & manage, Drivers appreciate the simple user-friendly tablet interface

Cons

The hardware (in size & # of pieces) is more complex than with other ELD systems we've used. Installation process does not offer flexibility for Independent Contractor owned vehicles vs Company fleet.

Very positive. We are a driver-centric organization. Its imperative the tools we use - especially when it comes to technology - make our drivers lives easier, not harder. Platform Science has been a significant partner to that end.

Pros

Open platform - we can collaborate with the Platform Science team to make all sorts of apps avail. on the ELD tablet to help support our professional drivers. I also like its modern appeal versus other ELD solutions we have used in the past.

Cons

The mobile app for drivers is in need of further development. Not enough load information is available once the load is dispatched (on the mobile app). All the load info is readily avail on the in-cab tablet, as info.

Generally, the PS team has been awesome to work with. We would like to see more traction on on-off projects we're working on. The tablet-based platform is working well overall with the exception of PS Nav that we struggle with. Overall, our it has been received well by our Drivers, Ops team, Safety department and all other stake holders. We feel we made a good investment implementing PS telematics.

Pros

It's flexibility, being able to add applications to increase communication and efficiencies. It is User friendly and has been adopted well by our Drivers - we're hearing little overall negative feedback on the use of our PS tablets.

Cons

PS Nav has not been a reliable GPS tool - we've had several instances of Drivers being mis-routed or sent into no-truck environments. It is a potential serious safety / compliance issue and a significant drain on Driver satisfaction.

Transitioning from P-mobile to Instinct has been quite the project. The transition team was great, I have nothing but good things to say about all of the individuals we worked with.

Pros

The ability to add 3rd party apps and outside media with Instinct. When everything is working the way it should, AWF provides a user friendly experience for the drivers.

Cons

It's technology, there's going to be technological issues. Working with the support team can often times be challenging.

I had been working with a trimble dealer between 2009 and 2011 in Honduras. I worked as technical advisor and sales. I really liked to work with the trimble fleet manager, it's easy to use, very intuitive and you can create performance reports and charts really quickly.

Pros

it's really easy to create customized performance reports and charts of the assets. I haven't used it but the option of use it in your cell phone as an app is useful

Cons

when I used the software it didn't have fuel sensor, so you have to calculate it using the reports. Also the customer service was good but it could be faster.

It was a good option to get us started with ELogs but there are more advanced options out there and they cost less.

Pros

Knowledge of knowing our drivers were running legal.

Cons

Way harder than it should be and it takes forever to find anything. To many steps to get to where a person needs to be. Support is lacking, takes a while for someone to get back to you and usually the lower level group can't help. Very hard to keep track of issues. When we would call on issues, usually they would come back and say it was our fault. Equipment and training is expensive. Training was 2 days but there were so many things crammed into those 2 days. PURCHASER BEWARE FOR CONTRACT FINE PRINT..............contract AUTO renews EVERY YEAR. If you cancel before you're next AUTO renew, you'll be charged a fee per unit!!

We used it to track our fleet units and mostly to control our driver behavior, controling routes and timming. I would recommend this software without hesitation.

Pros

I liked how this software completely adjusted to our needs, it is very easy to use and user friendly. I like how it generates charts to be presented to upper management very easy. They can also be customized and automatized to fill your needs.

Cons

It doesnt provide a live fuel consumption, you need to do the math yourself.

Reasons for choosing Platform Science

Mostly because the customer support and Trimble's overall experience in the market.

I worked between 2009 - 2012 as a sales advisor for trimble´s dealer in Honduras. Since the price was way high compared with the competition, we started offering it as a plus service, whenever someone bought a truck or a heavy equipment machine. It made our customers happy to know that they were getting a gps system included in their purshace. Trimble has a very good interface, however to compete as a single fleet managment software in the latin american market they need to add a sensor to control fuel robbery (sadly,something that happens alot in this region)

Pros

The friendly interface it offers to the user. Comparedwith other softwares, its easiness to use gives it a plus. It also helps the reports and charts it automatically creates. You can even automate to receive reports whenever you want, as well alerts to your email.

Cons

The inability to check in real time the fuel consumption. You can calculate it by multiplying the fuel consumption per mile x the distance, but other products install a sensor and you can check in real time the fuel performance. This feature can help in controlling any fuel robbery or leakage. Other thing was that the price was very high to compete in the latin american market

This is 2019 and the software really needs to update the interface. There are lots of competitors who are offering more advanced capabilities and dashboards for less. I know Trimble is big, but the small guys are nimble and working to outgun PeopleNet...

Pros

The software is pretty solid. As far as knowing where the fleet is, it's been pretty dependable.

Cons

When mistakes are made (by the end users), support often seems unable to reverse the mistake. It's like the developers never thought that the end users would make a mistake (like request a wrong route).

None. Punishing, frustrating. Is the only words to describe this system. It was programed by a high school drop out. No common sense in it's programing.

Pros

Nothing Worse product I have ever used in my fourty year's of driving.

Cons

Not user friendly. Qualcomm I had fifteen minutes of training, Too two and a half hours for peoplenet Punishing. It has a mind of its own. Won't let you do what you need to do. Intrusive. The most intrusive system I have ever used. Technology. 1980s speed slow functions won't work together slows user down at every step. Moves at megabite speed.

Pros

I love people net, and so do my drivers. They have a app you can download on your phone and it works great!

Cons

Sometimes the workflow isn't completed by the drivers and that will throw the system off, but other then that it is great!

ELD provider - GPS tracking - automated fuel tax - dispatch software integration

Pros

like the ELD format. like the optional plugins capability however the accuracy of some of them (like pro-miles) are not the best, tend to have glitches that can cause you some pretty substantial headaches, but when it's working anyone who has ever done fuel taxes manually will think it's the berries. It has the ability to be significantly customized to fit your individual needs def a plus.

Cons

pricey. service interruptions should be expected. they seem to fix them much more quickly than in the past but if your customers require EDI from the truck it makes things. difficult. There hardware costs are substantial which puts smaller fleets into a cash crunch. some parts have good lifespan others do not. customer service used to be top notch after the buyout if more big business style let me get you a case number and I will go research your questions. the call center is now base level personnel where you used to be able to get people that really new the system. contract terms are too long and won't account for large swings in shift size which is a real issue today. we've had good reps and bad reps. If you have a bad rep get another as soon as possible other wise you experience will be a miserable one.

Pros

Trimble purchased GeoTrac in Canada and it does a good job on gauging where our assets are and obtaining mileage and driver behaviour.

Cons

The hardware does have some problems as it is built by a 3rd party manufacturer and can have some issues.

Pros

Trimble is a leader in the industry and are a leader in support and customer service. Trimble has partnered with many different companies to help you customize your needs. Trimble is always looking at ways to advance in the industry. There technologies and software are world-class.

Cons

Because they are such a large company, at times customer support and service tickets can take some time to complete or resolved. This is due to many layers of support and problems that can occur. Software at times can be laggy which can cause day to day service interruptions.

Pros

It ties in with our dispatch and load tracking software. Accurate position reports for the trucks. web based user interface.

Cons

It can be slow and have issues and takes a bit to get things cleared up. Drivers do not like the units in the trucks as they interface is a little slow and not intuitive.
