Making the first impression count: perfecting your telematics product demo

One of the frequent challenges faced by Telematics Service Providers (TSPs) is creating compelling, realistic demonstrations of a platform's capabilities for potential customers. Setting up a demo account, populating it with relevant data, and tailoring it to reflect the specific needs and contexts of potential clients is not only time-consuming but also requires deep familiarity with the platform's extensive features.

This issue becomes even more pronounced for TSPs offering a self-onboarding experience. In such scenarios, customers often navigate through an empty or minimally populated account without direct communication with a sales representative, which hardly showcases the system's full potential and utility.

Recognizing these challenges, Navixy has developed Demo Presets to streamline and enrich the demonstration and onboarding experience. These presets come loaded with pre-configured data and settings that mirror real-world scenarios and enable partners to instantly present a vibrant, fully functional version of the Navixy platform. This approach not only saves time for sales representatives and standardizes their processes but also provides a more engaging and informative first experience for potential clients, laying the foundation for a deeper understanding and appreciation of what Navixy can offer.

Maximizing the impact of Navixy's Demo Presets for TSPs

Navixy's Demo Presets are effectively pre-configured environments that are created by Telematics Service Providers (TSPs) and made immediately accessible to end customers upon their first login. These preset scenarios can be integrated into the special Demo account, available on both web and mobile app login pages, catering to customers who prefer a self-onboarding experience. Additionally, these presets can be replicated across various accounts, including those used by sales representatives for their customer demonstrations.

Such a demo environment, which is fully customizable by the TSP, typically features an array of vehicles that actively move around the streets of selected cities. These vehicles are not just moving icons on a map; they generate real-time sensor data, such as fuel levels and telemetry, providing a dynamic and interactive experience. Additionally, the environment is enriched with geofences, Points of Interest (POIs), detailed information about drivers and vehicles, and assigned tasks. This comprehensive setup allows users to fully explore the system's functionality with data that demonstrates real-world application. Users can navigate this rich, simulated environment either independently for a self-onboarding experience or with the guidance of sales representatives to ensure a thorough understanding of the system's capabilities.

To offer a clearer insight into the practical application of our demo environments, below are details about commonly demonstrable features and their customization options:
