The market for these services is only growing

every day. During April-November 2011, the

domestic commercial vehicle (CV) industry

posted a growth of 20.0 %( Source: SIAM,

ICRA’s Estimates). We at Vodafone recognize

this and the subsequent increase in the need

for M2M communication and by incorporat-

ing our exceptional Vodafone Network

Technology seek to provide simple,

cost-effective solutions for commercial,

private and government-owned vehicles

across the country.

Our robustly built M2M connectivity service

helps businesses monitor the location of

assets such as vehicles, machines and

consignments. Efficient tracking ensures

timely distribution of goods, resulting in

proficiency in business and a control-ready

environment.

Introduction

While this industry is both burgeoning and

highly competitive, it is also very fragmented.

Currently, out of all the vehicles operational

in India, 1.2 million are heavy and medium

commercial vehicles (H&MCV trucks); with

the average fleet owner owning only 5

vehicles. Large businesses have to depend on

aggregators to provide fleets for their

fluctuating needs. There is very low technical

knowledge penetration and the need for

technical sophisticated tools is minimal, due

to limited Key Performance Indexes (KPIs) for

fleet owners.

There are little or no options in India for the

tracking of cargo or fleet. The onus lies solely

on business owners, whose goods are being

transported, adding another liability to their

heavy logistics workload.

As a result, there is reluctance to invest

CAPEX in fleet owners and transporters. None

of the concerned parties are willing to invest

in hardware needed for these services, due to

high costs and frequent upgrading or

maintenance needs.

Challanges of traditional telemetry

Traditionally, trace and track services are

rooted in industrial telemetry, which tracks

the locations of moving assets.

These services are expensive, not regularly

updated and therefore not always reliable.

Without a warranty on the hardware, a

tracking system based solely on GPS proves

to be uneconomical. By incorporating a

communication based GPS model, spending

of companies is reduced, hardware is at par

with the latest technology and businesses are

provided with a fixed contract value for a

certain number of vehicles, per year.

Trace and Track needs innovative business

models that would be mutually beneficial for

everyone in the value chain.

activate an asset for tracking. With a

pre-tailored pre-configured plan, this time

can be reduced to 5 days, saving precious

time and energy.

An average asset being tracked consumes

about 50 MB of data per month, while being

in dormant mode (stationary) for upto 5 days.

Clearly, the market need is to have plans with

more flexibility and limited data limits to

prevent misuse and wastage of resources

used to access telecom services.

A typical asset remains with the same service

provider for an average of 23 months, with

attrition happening only in case of poor

service levels. The customer loyalty is high
