One Momentum customer used the Excessive Idling Monitor to save $700,000 in fuel costs in a single year!

The speeding monitor was created to improve on-road safety and driver behavior. Speeding puts employees at risk, and the entire business at risk. Use the Speeding Monitor to reduce on-road speeds and increase safety.

One Momentum customer used the Excessive Idling Monitor to reduce fuel expenses by $700,000 in a year! That’s a huge savings, just from understanding THEN managing best practices for vehicle idling. The sheer amount of fuel savings, and mitigating wear-and-tear can be a huge boost to any field service business. It’s like found money!

Many Momentum customers keeps their rolling assets (vehicles, trailers, heavy equipment) in a yard, or at a specific job site. The Geofence Monitor gives you peace of mind knowing that you’ll be able to track any movement in or out of a specified area, instantly.

PS – it’s a really helpful tool for knowing when crews are starting and ending their work day. 

Hours of operation protect your business assets from unnecessary risk. Employees that try to moonlight after hours (pretty common for tow-truck operators) or an attempted vehicle theft can be eliminate by the Hours of Operation Monitor.

In some industries, every second matters. So when you’re ready to start the day and your first stop is the fuel pump, it can really set you back. Use the Fuel Level Monitor to manage best operations practices.

Nothing can be more frustrating that a dead battery. It’s a major time waste that can be easily avoided, using Momentum. The Battery Monitor will alert you any time a vehicle’s battery drops below 12 volts. Never get stuck at a job site or waste time at the start of your day because of a dead battery.

One of the biggest benefits of using Momentum is that you’ll always know the status and location of your business assets. Whether you’re the business owner, manager or employee – knowing the status and location of your vehicles is mandatory. The Disconnected Monitor alerts you every time an Eagle One GPS tracker is disconnected from the vehicle’s battery or diagnostic port. Even if an Eagle One is disconnected, the internal battery will keep it online so you can continue to get location data in real-time.

Momentum runs on the most reliable 4G network in the United States and Canada. But in some remote areas, service may be interrupted. If your Eagle One GPS device ever goes offline, you’ll get an alert.

Some businesses run with strict rules around asset usage. With Powersense, you’ll know the EXACT MOMENT an asset turns off or on.
