As small businesses continue to serve their customers and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, fleets, and drivers play an increasingly vital role in delivery of goods and services. To help them save money, and increase productivity and efficiency, Verizon Connect has introduced its plug-and-play fleet management solution, Reveal Starter, at Verizon corporate retail locations.

Reveal Starter is a fleet management solution designed for small businesses, making it a mission-critical service for companies providing field services, transportation, and deliveries.

The plug-and-play device is simple to install without impact on the customer's tight schedule. Customers can access vehicle near-real-time location information either via an iOS or Android-enabled app or directly on the Reveal website. Reveal Starter allows fleet owners to manage, track and get alerted on driver assignments, miles driven, and driver behaviour (such as speeding, hard braking, etc). It also provides detailed vehicle reports for understanding long-term trends and performance.

“Offering Reveal Starter at Verizon retail stores is the simplest way for small business owners to instantly incorporate a fleet management solution into their operations,” John Molamphy, VP of product and software engineering at Verizon Connect, said in a statement. “Verizon retail stores are already a familiar avenue for many small business customers purchasing mobile products, plans, and accessories, now they can learn about the benefits of Verizon Connect’s offerings and purchase them instantly.”

Verizon retail associates will assist customers on Reveal Starter, as well as future Verizon Connect small business products, while maintaining the safety measures implemented through Verizon's Touchless Retail experience, which leverages both physical and digital changes to reduce the number of physical touchpoints, while streamlining the customer shopping experience.
