But the minimum contract length is 3 years, and it auto-renews every 3 years thereafter. The problem is, they charge a higher rate than anyone, but they justify that by saying they own the devices and the end customer is renting the devices as part of the service. Over the life of the contract, however, we wound up paying many, many times the cost of the devices in that higher monthly fee. it is better to bite the bullet and pay for the devices up front and pay a lower sub fee with someone else. Answered: Mike Harkleroad on March 3, 2022 I am agree with you! And I've found some reasons why we should think about having our own TMS app to survive global inflation without major losses for business.

I then have to deal with a bunch of emails back and forth about new units. I should be able to go to your website and say, "I need 4 new units". OK when do you need them? "I need them tomorrow". OK here is your tracking number. "Great!". Ya know, like that. Yes, we have that problem too. did they ask you to sign a contract extension too? the reason for this is technically they aren't selling you the units. they still own the units and they are letting you use them or renting them to you as part of the service. if you ever cancel, you will have to buy the units. Answered: Mike Harkleroad on March 23, 2022 Cause custom development of your own mobile TMS application can be a much more profitable option for medium and large businesses. It is better to invest in developing your new solutions than to support legacy platforms.
