            Insurance Industry

• Why would an insurance company lower your
  premiums up-front?
• With GPS on your vehicle your staff will have fewer at-fault
  accidents.
• GPS provides proof positive data specifics of any accident
  claim. When vehicle data is compared to an accident
  “claim” the data frequently proves the innocence of the
   claim
  vehicle/driver; in many cases the purported vehicle was not
  even in the vicinity of the accident at the time!
• With GPS you will have fewer miles driven, a key factor in
  premium calculations.
• GPS gives you a tool to know where your vehicles are at all
  times and ensure that routes taken are the most direct,

  eliminating the “where have you been?” dilemma.
