Guidepoint Systems: product details
Guidepoint Systems describes itself as a supplier of telematics for manufacturers, dealerships, fleet managers, rental companies and individual owners, with fully staffed call centers in the United States and Mexico open 24/7/365. Its home page presents the Fuel, Location and Odometer product and lists driver behavior alerts: crash notification covering lower-speed crash, hit and run and airbag deployment, excessive speed over a set duration and distance, rapid acceleration and hard braking.
It also advertises OEM certification and global coverage. A dealer should ask which hardware is installed, who owns the data and what the monthly fee per vehicle is.
The mission statement on its about page calls it a service-first company and says it is committed to delivering the best telematics technology and customer service in the industry, which is a stated aim and not a measured result.
