The problem it solves
Rental companies face significant losses due to stolen or misplaced trailers, and GPS tracking can provide peace of mind and recovery options.
How it makes money
Subscription model for GPS services, charging rental companies a monthly fee for tracking and monitoring services.
Skills you need
Technical knowledge in GPS technology, customer service skills, and experience in logistics would be beneficial for launching this service.
The market, and why this works now
Geotab's fleet tracking technology allows rental companies to monitor trailer locations in real time. A promising initial revenue move is to partner with trailer rental businesses and offer GPS devices through the Webflow Marketplace. A key challenge in the first year will be the high customer acquisition cost, as rental companies may be hesitant to adopt new technology without proven ROI.
