Questions to ask ClearPathGPS and Geotab on a sales call

These questions surface where ClearPathGPS and Geotab often fall short — contract lock-in, add-on fees, offshore support, and bolted-together tools. GPS Insight's brands (GPS Insight, ServiceBridge, ClearPathGPS, Titan GPS, and Rhino Fleet) are built to answer them well.

  1. 1 Ask ClearPathGPS and Geotab: is there a multi-year contract, or can you go month-to-month and cancel anytime?
  2. 2 Get ClearPathGPS and Geotab to put pricing in writing — are dashcams, per-device, and per-driver fees all-in, or added after the demo?
  3. 3 Confirm how Geotab handles u.s.-based support (vendor-stated) — fully included, a paid add-on, or not offered at all?
  4. 4 Are ClearPathGPS and Geotab support teams US-based with a named account manager, or offshore and ticket-only?
  5. 5 Does ClearPathGPS or Geotab combine GPS tracking with dispatch, work orders, and invoicing in one system — or would you need separate tools?

  7. 7 What are ClearPathGPS and Geotab's early-termination fees, and who owns your historical data if you switch providers?
