There is no device that beats all others: there is one that fits what you are going to sell. A private car, a truck with a fuel sensor and a motorcycle do not ask for the same thing. What they all share: if the platform cannot read it, it is no good however cheap it is.
First thing. A device that is not approved has to be integrated, and that takes time. Look it up in the catalogue before you buy.
2G is being switched off in several countries. Buying 2G today can mean buying a problem for two years from now.
Wired to the vehicle, with its own battery, or magnetic. It changes the installation and who you can sell to.
If you are going to sell fuel, temperature or driver ID, the device needs inputs for it.
Not every device can cut the ignition. If you are selling anti-theft, check first.
A supplier who swaps a faulty unit is worth more than twenty dollars of price difference.
Exact words you can use on the visit. No jargon.
«Before I buy the batch, I look the model up in the catalogue and confirm the platform already reads it.»
«I do not tie myself to one brand: if I get a better price elsewhere tomorrow, the platform reads that one too.»
You resell under your own brand. This is who it works for, and with what argument.
A simple wired device with engine cut-off. This is the volume and the fastest sale.
With inputs for fuel, temperature or driver identification.
Adds a panic button and, very often, a camera.
Trailer, generator or container: a device with its own battery, because there is nothing to draw power from.
It depends what you will sell. The first check, before price, is that the platform already reads that model: there are over 3,200 approved models and 246 protocols supported.
No. Buy from whoever you like, and you can mix different brands in the same account.
Most protocols can be integrated. Tell us the model and, if it is already supported, we confirm the same day.
No. 2G is being switched off in several countries, so a 2G batch can go silent before it pays for itself. Always confirm the model's network generation.
One with its own battery, because an asset with no engine has nothing to draw power from. There the key is reporting frequency: it decides whether the battery lasts months or years.
Tell us which one you need. Most protocols can be integrated, and if it is already supported we confirm the same day.
