The article “Fleet One
Helps Narrow Down Important Data” introduces the Fleet One Vehicle Tracking
system which is developed by WEX Fleet One. It offers a wide range of GPS fleet
tracking solutions to both the private and government sectors, catering to vehicle
fleets of varying sizes.
According to Goetz
(2011), Fleet One’s digital platform consists of a two-way touch screen
interface for better fleet information management.
Furthermore, value-added
features such as online account and “fuel purchasing management” help reduce
fraud at fuel pumps, making the system cost effective.
Fleet One also provides
two types of fuel cards for the companies to monitor driver’s transactions
online. They are the “All roads” fuel card and “Over the road” fuel card, which
aim to serve the needs of different customer demographics.
We will be evaluating
Fleet One’s tracking system by comparing it to GPS insight based on its
functions, ease of usage and cost benefits to the companies.
Good software user functionality and cost effectiveness is the key to making a good fleet tracking solution. In this section, we will be
focusing on fleet one’s system fuel card functions. Fleet One’s system is
able to locate the nearest and cheapest refuelling location, monitor and notify the company on the driver's status. GPS insight also provides a fuel card function too. However,
it does not provide fuel price information for price comparison between different
fuel stops, which could result in unnecessary fuel expenses. Therefore, Fleet
One’s system is would be more cost effective as compared to GPS Insight.
In addition, convenience
and the ease of usage of a product are what customers look out for. According
to Fleet One’s website, its cards are accepted nationwide at over 60,000
convenience stores and 7,100 truck stops as compared to GPS Insight’s fuel card
which is accepted at 45,000 stores. With more available kiosk stations in
collaboration with Fleet One, drivers would be able to seek fuel stops more easily,
which would in turn increases the company’s efficiency and reduce overhead
costs by allowing drivers to save both time and money.
Our evaluation shows
that Fleet One would provide a more user centred experience for both drivers
and the management team if they were to choose this telematics solution.

Dear Telson,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your product analysis and I gained valuable knowledge on vehicle tracking systems. On the other hand, there are some pointers which I would like to bring up to improve your product analysis.
Content:
1. The publication date was not present in your citation.
2. Your analysis only has one main point, which is that the article introduces the Fleet One Vehicle Tracking System.
3. Your main point stated in your product summary is Vehicle Tracking System but your entire summary and analysis talks mainly about "fuel management".
4. Your supporting ideas, were not supported from other websites/sources.
Language:
1. "We will be evaluating Fleet One’s tracking system..."
>> There is no need to use "We", your analysis should be from a reader's point of view. You can change that sentence to, "Fleet One's tracking system compared to..."
2. "Therefore, Fleet One’s system is would be more cost effective as compared to GPS Insight."
>> This entire sentence can be changed to " Due to this reasons/evidences Fleet One's system is more cost effective as compared to GPS Insight."
3. "Furthermore, value-added features..."
>> The start of this sentence could be changed to "Value-added features..." There is no need for furthermore.
4. "In addition, convenience and the ease of usage of a product are what customers look out for."
>> This sentence could be changed to "Additionally, convenience and ease of usage of a product are what customers look out for.
5. "Our evaluation shows that Fleet One would provide a more user centred experience for both drivers and the management team if they were to choose this telematics solution."
>> This sentence could be changed to "After evaluating Fleet One, it is evident that the product would provide a more user centered experience for both drivers and management teams if they were to choose this Telematics solution."
These are all my comments on your product analysis. Looking forward to reading your next post.
