NexTraq has announced they have a new one minute reporting and 12 month retention option data. NexTraq is one of the available companies offering vehicle tracking. Their fleet tracking solutions are based on GPS. As part of their standard package service they will provide one minute reporting for all vehicles in the fleet. It is designed to be a new standard for the industry as a whole. NexTraq is an Atlanta, Georgia company which has yet to reach the UK market, but will most likely help benefit other UK companies in future.
They are also going to be offering 12 month data retention without an additional charge. For the US they are the only vendor willing to offer this especially in the telematics industry. The CEO stated they feel one minute reporting will be a new standard across the entire industry and not just for one company. This is how they feel it will impact not just the US but also the UK.
For right now reporting options in the UK can be set depending on certain parameters. Real time tracking is a part of most vehicle tracking options. A management team can pull up information about the fleet vehicles and have real time data, but this is different from the one minute reporting. The one minute reporting option will also include other options.
NexTraq stated they are going to stop charging for two minute reporting options since they are going to offer one minute reporting without additional fees. They have decided to make these changes because they have listened to their consumers. The 12 month standard on data retention is also being added based on consumer requirements.
Fleet analytics are going to be more involved in the whole process in order to offer a better performance indicator. With new data and system options in the industry it makes it easier to lower the costs of GPS vehicle tracking. The fact that 12 months of data will be held can also make budgeting easier in the year to follow. With only six months of data before it was hard to look back at the beginning of a year once it ended.
NexTraq was formerly Discrete Wireless. In the US they are a top company with cloud applications to make their services even better. It is possible with companies operating in the US from the UK to have NexTraq if they prefer.
