Product Description Summary & Analysis Draft 3

The website “www.savvy-telematics.com/en/savvy-fleet-trac.html” (n.d) introduces the functionality, features, and benefits Savvy FleetTrac would provide when used on trucks or other similar automobiles. Savvy FleetTrac is a telematics device that produce information in real time to drivers for analysis through the Internet. With features as “highly developed antenna technology” and “GSM cell tracking” drivers can receive clear overview of their processes anywhere via smart phone applications. The device is “optimized for quick installation” and requires no external antennae. In unfavourable conditions functionality of Savvy FleetTrac is ensured as the device uses very little power to operate.


The use of telematics devices in trucks has continue to grow over time
mainly because the process of data analysis is now possible through telematics.


The website ” savvy-telematics ”(n.d)  states drivers are provided with information 
instantaneously via a portal and connects it to a top quality map with the 
necessary metadata.This shows how connectivity provided from Savvy FleetTrac
 would be allow drivers to capitalise on the usage of data. An application 
of data analysis for drivers would be to avoid traffic congestion when 
operating during night time schedules. This results in drivers benefiting from increased fuel economy.


According to the article “Telematics will change trucks and
 trucking” ( Kilcarr 2015), connectivity and opportunities created by data analysis is going to change trucks and the trucking industry. Savvy FleetTrac web portal can be accessed via mobile devices from anywhere and at any time, this empowers 
drivers to receive a clear overview of processes and be able to monitor their 
activities. Evidence of the use of telematics products into trucks for data analysis would be to look at one of the largest global courier delivery services,
United Parcel Service (UPS). The article” Telematics Sensor-Equipped Trucks Help UPS Control Costs” (Mika 2010) states, as drivers complete their routes the UPS telematics equipment captures streams of data via a 900 MHz radio and sends it in real-time to servers for analysis.


Savvy FleetTrac would be a suitable telematics device to be used in trucks as it provides drivers with the capability to do data analysis.
