Video Telemati
Step 1: Plan and Prioritise
We know that a solution that fixes everything would be ideal, but let’s be honest, there’s always factors to consider. From budget restrictions to local regulations that need adhering to, choosing the right Video Telematics provider should start with your business.
The Video Telematics market is competitive and fast. With dozens of premium and budget partners, how would you know which solution is best for you?
So let’s take a step back and reflect on all those dozens of conversations we have with our contacts. From your local team and drivers to customers. What is it they complain about? What do they think can be done better? And what tools are you missing to manage your day to day?
By posing yourself these clear questions and replaying them to your team, you can create a priority list, or action points as you will, that your Video Telematics provider will HAVE to solve. Anything extra they can deliver, is icing on the cake.
This way you can stick to your list and ensure you are not swayed by sales talk when meeting with potential solution providers later.
We have compiled a short list of Action Points we always get asked by our prospective customers. You can divide them into short-term ‘must haves’ and long-term ‘good to haves’.
