GPS Insight meets ‘Out-of-The-Box’ requirements in several ways. It is designed to be real time so that the user gets updated fast.   It is also convenient as it sends data such as stops and route, and or either through e-mail or SMS to the user.    It can perform at different degrees of comprehensiveness like the GPS Insight dashboard, which can be changed and saved to fit the user’s constant changing demands and requests. It also provides a two-way communication among users.

Another similar product Discrete wireless uses GPS to collect productivity and utilization information. Besides reducing the costs incurred by fuel usage and cost, waiting time for the next destination data to arrive causing the vehicle to wait is also reduced as data is collected GPS insight however doesn’t offer any warranty which makes Discrete wireless stands out of the similarity they have in common accessible devices making it very convenient for them. Also, this product allows a two-way communication between users and those in the office.   

Discrete wireless MARCUS Guard is a warranty plan that is valid for three years on the vehicle GPS hardware device, which makes Discrete wireless stands out from GPS insight in its similarities in function. GPS is a sophisticated product that could malfunction due to its excessive usage. Without a warranty plan, users will be spending a lot of money try to fix the problem on the devices even though it’s new.

All these characteristics seem to demonstrate that GPS insight would have been a good product like Discrete wireless if they have a warranty plan to help users in troubleshooting the product if it’s faulty.  Product tied up with warranty would give customer greater assurance, in the case where their product is in deflect condition.
