Between the technology and customer service. Ascend has taken care of all my needs. Pros I like the simplicity of the technology. The customer service is great along with the variety of applications. Cons I don't like that the wireless devices don't provide any other info than the location. Switched from [Whip Around](https://www.capterra.com/p/148935/Whip-Around/) equipment was outdated and company was closing the department. Reasons for choosing Geoforce ASCEND I chose Ascend because of their presentation and because the fact they did not charge for the device showed me they trusted in their product and service.

OB Olivia B. Director of Risk Management Construction ### "Ascend Review" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 October 13, 2023 Dash cams should put us in a better position when an accident occurs. Maintenance tracking should provide us better visibility and upkeep on our fleet. Drivers are aware of the units and this should limit the abuse on our fleet. We have not seen great gains in any of these areas yet but are giving it more time before fully evaluating. Pros Real-time GPS tracking and the ability to track mileage and maintenance information. Cons Roll out was terrible. By the time we got a good customer service rep, we had already had too many issues. It got much better after that but we still had some install issues which put two of our service trucks out of commission for a month as well as other unit issues that needed addressed. Alternatives considered [Verizon Connect](https://www.capterra.com/p/72551/Fleetmatics-Work/) Reasons for choosing Geoforce ASCEND Ascend claimed to have more experience at a better price point than Verizon.

Pros The GPS tracking is spot on. We always know where our vehicles are at and have been. It even shows the street view to help figure out exactly where vehicle is at. Cons Camera storage is 5 videos per day per vehicle. Need more daily views allowed. Reasons for choosing Geoforce ASCEND Pricing and the ability to have only a few vehicles. Other companies had a minimum. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

I will and have recommended Ascend to my friends and colleagues. Pros The customer service aspect of Ascend is hands down the best in the industry. I have tried other companies and Ascend has the best customer service and support PERIOD!! Cons The reporting could be a bit more user friendly. Switched from [Verizon Connect](https://www.capterra.com/p/72551/Fleetmatics-Work/) They are terrible. There was no open line of communication. They had no customer service at all. I spoke to reps on many occasions and asked for a return call and to this day have yet to get one. That has been 8-10 months ago. I had a truck in tow mode for about a year. I contacted customer support and again to this day have yet to hear back from anyone. Funny thing, just yesterday their collections dept reached out.

The whole team working with us was willing to help and problem solve with us. Cons Figuring out the specifics of setting up alerts can be tricky, but once you figure it out and test it out on vehicles to understand how it works, it's relatively simple. Switched from [Verizon Connect](https://www.capterra.com/p/72551/Fleetmatics-Work/) Poor customer service from Verizon Connect, price comparisons. Alternatives considered [FleetLocate](https://www.capterra.com/p/168118/FleetLocate/) Reasons for choosing Geoforce ASCEND We could integrate our WEX Fuel cards with Ascend, the prices were better and the communication between our team and Ascend was easy, they were very quick and had all the right answers.

I was worried about implementing the product and the ease of use but ASCEND has made this whole process pretty simple. Pros What I like most about ASCEND is the customer service. No matter the question they were most helpful and knowledgeable. They did not make me feel like I was bothering them or my questions or concerns were silly. Cons What I like least about ASCEND is that I cannot watch live the route of a vehicle or equipment.

JH Jerome H. Safety Manager Construction ### "Ascend Fleet Dash Cams & Web System Interface" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 26, 2023 We wanted to better manage our exposure to auto losses on fleet vehicles, so implementing dash cams with in-cab behavior coaching made sense to us. Additionally, the video from front facing cameras can help us exonerate our drivers in certain situations. Our Dispatch Team uses it everyday and has made their lives easier. Time will tell, but the investment made sense for us, as our vehicles are one of the key assets for our business. Pros Great service, from sales to installation to customer service, the Ascend Team made things easy. The cameras, GPS, and web system interface are as good or better than others that we looked at, and the price was competitive. Really great people too. Cons So far so good, we have just started with Ascend Fleet. Reasons for choosing Geoforce ASCEND Ascend Fleet had everything we needed at the right price, and we were really impressed with their web system interface.

KT Keith T. Vice President Construction ### "Ascend GPS" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 September 18, 2023 Our company uses Ascend to track our technician's time on each job for billing and the location of each asset for dispatch to the next job. The Ascend program has been accurate for asset location and helps our company manage waisted time by knowing what truck is in the area of the next job. Pros The switch to Ascend was seamless and the set up required very little effort by our company. The zoom call to explain how use the program was quick and informative which made using the program easy from the start. The Ascend team has always been prompt with answering any question we have had and has been very professional while never annoying us with pushy sales calls. After seven months of using Ascend we have only had one issue with a device and that problem was taken care of immediately by resetting the device remotely. Cons Being a program that we were not familiar with, it took a little time to learn how to use Ascend but after a couple calls and a little time playing around with the program we have found it easier to navigate the than the GPS services we have used in the past. Only complaint, it would be nice to be able look at start-stop drive times for an asset on a certain day for billing purposes instead of seeing the breadcrumb trail. Reasons for choosing Geoforce ASCEND Ascend provides us communication with our fleet which lets us know when a vehicle is due for service and sends us a notification when there is a problem with a vehicle via text and email. When getting quotes for GPS services we found that other providers charge extra for that service while some do not even offer that service. With Ascend, we are also able to run driver reports so we are able to better manage reckless driving.

" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 17, 2023 I've honestly been happy with Ascend. Just like any company, you are going to have issues. There will be things you like and don't like. The one thing that helped me choose Ascend was they have their own installers. You don't have to pay a third party company to install them. You also don't have to use your own employees to install them. A lot of places you just have to plug in the unit in the OBD2 spot but we don't like things getting unplugged. Ascend uses splitters so if we need to scan, nothing has to get unplugged and no one would even know there's a GPS in the trucks. I've even had the installer reach out to me and make sure we are happy with everything. If there's an issue, he's even been willing to help get it resolved! The installer cares just as much about the customer, as the customer support team and sales team does which is amazing! Pros For the most part, it has been very easy to use. The customer support has been very helpful and is very responsive and willing to help improve the software. Cons It doesn't automatically pull all of the vehicle engine hours. Some of them appear to be off. I know other companies software pulls everything current on the vehicle. Switched from [Linxup](https://www.capterra.com/p/153863/Linxup-GPS-Tracking/) Ascend has a better platform and were up front and honest with me. The company we switched from just cared about making the sale so they told me what I wanted to hear.

Principal Environmental Services ### "ASCEND’s Implementation Flexibility" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 December 9, 2022 Pros ASCEND’s flexibility with the installation process made all the difference for us. They got our entire fleet (trucks, bandits, spider lifts and trailers) up and running in a single weekend, so downtime and disruptions were minimal and we were able to start automating and streamlining our operations in no time. Cons No cons yet, working on integration with our workforce management system now.

Fleet Manager Machinery ### "Checks every box!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 29, 2022 The customer service has been exceptional. From the time we started looking for a fleet management software until the time we selected the right one, the Ascend team of professionals have been attentive, knowledgeable and eager to learn about our needs. We look forward to using Ascend for many, many years. It has been a game changer for our 103-year-old tree company. Pros All of the features are impactful for our company. The MAP feature lets us see the assets as a glance. An example of the importance of the MAP feature is on a rainy day. We can let the crews know from headquarters what type of weather is coming their direction. This is key for all admin users. The Dashboards feature robust data. We can see which user is using the software and which users are not using it as a resource. We need everyone on our team to be aware of the software capabilities and benefits. The maintenance dashboard keeps us all in check and is vital to our communication with our owners, mobile mechanic and fleet manager. We have not used REPORTS to the fullest extent, but we are impressed with the output functions to date. The ALERTS feature saves us time by allowing us to plan service appointments as soon as a code is thrown on a vehicle. We can also use the alerts as a way to better coach our team to drive safely. It has been helpful with efficiency too; we notice if crew members are spending too much time "idle" and not at work. The MAINTENANCE features are also robust. We are still in the process of adding our data and needs to the system but so far it is stellar. All ADMIN features are easy to use and allow us to upload data as needed. The initial integration went super smoothly! Cons There has not been anything so far that I would say I dislike. Reasons for choosing Geoforce ASCEND The customer service set the standard!
