Professionals can monitor the entry or exit timings of vehicles using geofencing capabilities and receive automated notifications about speeding or other violations. Switchboard allows organizations to maintain a record of drivers’ working hours and streamline on-field communication with them through messaging. Managers can view vehicles’ odometer readings and update the activity status of drivers to ‘on-duty’, ‘driving’, ‘off-duty’ or ‘sleeper berth’. Additionally, users can generate mileage reports in compliance with International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) regulations. Switchboard enables businesses to track the real-time location of assets using traffic layers and breadcrumb positioning. Pricing is available on monthly subscriptions and support is extended via FAQs, phone, documentation and other online measures. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 12 users.

The videos were informative and it had all the features we were looking for in an ELD. > > **Cons**: I can't ping my equipment when I need an update. > > It was easy to install, my driver's didn't have a hard time getting used to using it. The cost per month is extremely nice. We would recommend to anyone looking for ELD's. The time it takes to get a replacement item is one of the drawbacks since it ships from Canada. ----- ### "Nightly live-streaming with Switchboard" — 5.0/5 > **Laura** | *13 April 2021* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite feature of this software is the ability to livestream to multiple platforms simultaneously. My husband and I livestream music concerts every night on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. > > **Cons**: I wish that there was an emergency customer service number to reach out to after-hours. There were a couple times when there were issues with the stream (the issue may or may not have actually been Switchboard-related - it could have been from my own encoder - but it was impossible to tell, and it would have been helpful to be able to reach out to Switchboard at that exact moment to troubleshoot). Customer service is overall good, and I’ve received prompt responses to my email queries during normal business hours; but since I livestream at night, I wish there was a way to get in touch during that time. > > Overall we’re happy with the software - it’s easy to use and saves a lot of the hassle that normally comes with setting up several simultaneous livestreams on different platforms. It’s very convenient to just set up one stream feed that goes directly to Switchboard, and then just simply choose the platforms to push the stream to. I also like having the ability to create stream titles and templates. ----- ### "Overall good" — 3.0/5 > **Kamal** | *21 January 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and whenever i have questions I call \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and problem is solved > > **Cons**: Like the software because it’s veryeasy to use > > Switchboard is easy to use but whenever there is an issue in software contact \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and he is the only one who has all the knowledge and can solve the problem on spot. ----- ### "It's easy, just 4 "buttons"" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *30 January 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The driver taps driver, then one of 4 "buttons" to change duty status. > > **Cons**: It puts the driver in On Duty not driving if they forget to tap off duty. But I think that's the law. > > I always was searching for pens, rulers, and glasses. No longer have to do that, and as also the administrator, I can correct my own mistakes and others. ----- ### "Satisfied from the very beginning." — 5.0/5 > **Dwain** | *8 February 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it came to having to purchase electronic log for my trucks, I found Switchboard to be the most competitively priced. Not knowing what to expect,it turned out to be better than I thought it would be. Especially being so reasonably priced. > > **Cons**: Since which board is the only electronic log we have used. I don't have anything to compare it too. So I don't really have any cons. > > We use the software everyday. It does everything we need it to. Almost to the point that we take it for granted just how well it works. And the support is what you would hope every companies support would be. Very very good. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/24971/switchboard-fleet-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/24971/switchboard-fleet-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
