Geotab Ford OEM Comparison

Can someone please provide a link that compares the datasets available via Ford OEM vs availability from a traditional GO9 device? Anecdotal evidence is one thing, but it'd be great to show a customer why the GO9 device measurements collection is superior: I've already conveyed to them that curve algorithm isn't on OEM and they can't expand with IOX options to include NFC or cameras.

Thank you for asking your question in our community. Here is a document that outlines the different features line by line: Rate Plan Features - Geotab Integrated Solution for Ford Vehicles [PUBLIC]

I do want to clarify you are correct about the OEM not supportting IOX's such as NFC readers and Go talk. They do support many different cameras though including the GO focus cameras.

If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out. We are here to help!

Have a great day!

There isn't a single link that compares all the datasets, since availability varies depending on the model and plan. However, the main technical differences are:
• Data frequency: GO9 devices use a curve algorithm to capture precise real-time data. OEM devices usually send data at fixed intervals (e.g., every 30 seconds), which can miss critical details.
• Accident reconstruction: The GO9 offers high-fidelity data for reconstructing accidents, a feature that is usually limited or unavailable in OEM integrations.
• Expandability: Only the GO9 allows connecting IOX accessories like NFC readers, cameras, or additional sensors.
• ELD compliance: The GO9 is a full ELD solution; some OEM integrations may have data gaps that affect regulatory compliance.
