How to choose a white-label GPS platform: checklist
Twelve points to review before signing with a white-label GPS platform vendor.
1. Device catalog
Check the exact make and model of the trackers you sell today and those you plan to sell. A broad catalog lowers the risk of losing support for a device.
2. Own mobile apps
Ask to see branded apps published for other customers. They should be native apps on Google Play and the App Store with your name and icon.
3. Customization
Domain, SSL, colors, logos, email and SMS templates, notifications and, if you have resellers, the option for each to have its own identity.
4. Commercial model
Owned license or managed model. Work out the 24- and 36-month total cost and spot any per-device fee.
5. Updates
How they are delivered, how often, and whether they are included or contracted separately. Look for a public version history.
6. API and webhooks
Without an API there is no integration with your ERP, CRM or billing. Check which resources it exposes and how it authenticates.
7. Support
Channel, hours and escalation path. Ask for references from current customers.
8. Data and security
Where data is hosted, backups, and what happens to your data if the contract ends.
9. Software protection
How the license is protected against unauthorized copies and which parts of the code you may modify.
10. Payments and billing
Currency, accepted payment methods and activation conditions.
11. Migration
If you come from another platform, ask which data can be moved and at what cost.
12. License terms
Number of installations, authorized domain, transfer and termination. Read them before paying.
