GPS tracker hardware and installation costs to include
Budget the installed system, not the device alone. Devices, accessories, labour, downtime, removals and spare stock are separate lines, each with an owner and a written source.
Where ReWheel stands
ReWheel FMS connects supported vehicle information with equipment and operational records for field and institutional operations. Vehicle compatibility, data-access requirements, connectivity and installation are assessed per deployment, never assumed. Bring your asset groups to that assessment.
Keep these costs separate
Count the vehicles or equipment in each group before asking for unit prices, and confirm the exact vehicle and device combination with the responsible technical contact. This worksheet is a budget record, not an installation procedure.
One line each
- Device supply: purchased, rented or supplied under written terms, with ownership and replacement responsibility.
- Accessories: the harness, mount or other quoted items, including what is bundled.
- Labour and access: installation, travel, access arrangements and authorized removal, with exclusions visible.
- Downtime: your own allowance for unavailable vehicles, separate from the installer's labour charge.
- Replacement stock: spare quantity and storage, separate from the installed fleet count.
- Subscription: what the recurring fee covers, the billing unit, minimums and how count changes are charged.
- Connectivity: the data plan, usage allowance, overage and roaming terms, and who pays them.
A twenty-asset budget
Quantity multiplied by unit allowance gives each line. Add only comparable lines in one currency. An unknown price stays blank; it is not a zero-cost item.
