Verizon Connect services for business

Best for driving behaviour alerts

Verizon Connect telematics allows you to accurately track the exact location of your vehicles at any time, from anywhere on the planet. It provides GPS-based fleet tracking software via its primary product, Verizon Reveal.

The tracking systems provide in-depth information on each of the vehicles in your fleet, including how fast they are travelling, whether or not the engine is running, and their exact location. Its alert features are the best available, helping to manage driving behaviours.

There are options for both hardwired and software (cloud-based) products, as well as smartphone apps.

Verizon Connect has three main offerings:

• Verizon Connect Reveal – a vehicle tracking solution
• Verizon Connect Fleet – a fleet management product
• Verizon Connect Work – scheduling, dispatching, and invoicing management

Verizon Connect offers high quality fleet management software. Some of its key features include custom reporting, real time alerts, advanced GPS live mapping, and geofences (set boundaries), which can help you to run your fleet more efficiently. 

The software is cloud-based, meaning it can be accessed remotely. You can also access the dashboard through a smartphone app, where you can perform fleet management tasks while on the move.

Scheduling and routing

Verizon Connect provides a dynamic planning and scheduling system that’s designed to simplify job distribution and reporting. You can configure jobs in various ways, including by name and code, as well by delivery date and time. 

The platform offers tabs for ‘creating jobs’, ‘editing jobs’, ‘deleting jobs’, and more. Routes can be calculated days, weeks, or even months beforehand to maximise efficiency and provide estimated arrival times for stops. And with the ability to integrate with Garmin sat navs, you can use Verizon Connect to communicate with Garmin devices from within the software, and even provide turn-by-turn directions. 

Alerts

There are a whole range of alert functions available, including:

• Driving behaviour, e.g. late starts, long stops, speeding
• Driving history
• Diagnostics
• Idling

Providing live updates and daily reporting, Verizon Connect allows you to see exactly where your drivers are at any given time, and also keep up to date with how much progress has been made on a task. 

Reporting

The platform can be customised to your business requirements with the self-created dashboard and reports. It can provide detailed insight on fuel purchases, with the ability to specify reporting by fleet, fuel card, or vehicle. Statistics are available each day, filtered by driver or by vehicle.

Verizon Connect UK prices

Like many of its competitors, pricing for Verizon Connect is available upon request, so you’ll need to contact Verizon directly in order to obtain a quote for your business and find out more.

The price that you pay will depend on various factors: everything from the size of your fleet to the number of miles travelled could impact the plan that you need. The cost may also be impacted by your industry, though again, it’s important to speak to Verizon Connect directly to learn more.

As a guideline, Verizon Connect provides and prices its services in the following way:

• Monthly licence, costing £40-£200 approximately 
• Standard contract length is three years
• Free installation – although units for upgrades cost approximately £80
• 14 day cooling off period

Although the pricing may be higher and the contracts may be longer than other providers, Verizon Connect does offer a free trial, so you can give it a try before making a purchase.

Verizon Connect for business: Verdict

Verizon Connect telematics can be used across all industries, but bigger fleets and businesses that work with larger sized vehicles may find it especially suitable. 

Verizon Connect is also ideal for businesses that want to concentrate on fleet management, thanks to its exemplary monitoring and tracking functions. 

Businesses in the construction industry are particularly likely to appreciate the emphasis on driver and vehicle safety, as well as the alert functions and the ability to locate vehicles.

Custom reports from the dashboard are also a major strength, particularly for businesses that have the capacity for data handling. 

However, where Verizon Connect really stands out is with its alert features, which are the best available on the market. These can be used for diagnosing issues, collating driving history, and more, which can help you to reduce the amount you spend on your fleet.
