Our Vehicle Public Safety Solution Is More Than Just a GPS Tracker

First Things First - How This Blog Came to Be

This blog post was inspired by one of those fun moments that remind you why you’re so passionate about what you do! One of my beta testers—a total rockstar—shared that one of her friends was considering buying a vehicle GPS tracker from Amazon. Naturally, my beta tester had questions about the pricing for my solution. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to explain that my firm isn’t in the business of competing with Amazon in a price war. So, in classic me-fashion, I typed up a VERY detailed response explaining why we don’t just offer “widgets”—we provide a full-service public safety solution intentionally designed to protect lives.

That lightbulb moment led to this blog post, where I break down what makes our solution truly life-saving, innovative, and worth so much more than the generic gadgets you can pick up online. Let’s dive in!

Here we Go

Many people confuse what we offer with standalone GPS tracking devices commonly sold on platforms like Amazon. However, our offering is not a DIY tracker you purchase and forget about. It is a comprehensive vehicle public safety solution, designed to address major concerns like carjacking, vehicle theft, and personal safety—two of which no mass-market tracker or auto dealer solution sufficiently addresses.

Unlike the devices you'll find on Amazon, which often lack ongoing support or meaningful engagement after purchase, my solution is built with the intent to help save lives, empower individuals, and deliver real-world value by leveraging cutting-edge technology. Let me break it down:

 Key Features and Benefits:

1. Life-Saving Carjacking Response
   Our solution does more than track your vehicle—it provides tools that ensure your safety during events like carjackings. If your phone is taken during an incident, our system enables alerts to be sent to family, friends, and even law enforcement at the speed of SMS, utilizing the smart technology you probably already own.
2. Geo-Fencing Notifications
   We include geo-fencing capabilities, allowing you to set virtual boundaries for heightened awareness of unauthorized movement or potential threats.
3. Content That Informs and Protects
   Beyond the technology itself, my company provides high-value resources, including blogs, videos, and public safety collateral, designed to teach practical strategies for handling dangerous situations. You'll learn how to live another day by using the tools you already have.
4. Innovative Smart Tech Integration
   Our solution works with smart devices like smartwatches and in the near future we hope to integrate with the latest smart technologies that can help secure your travels. For example, we seek to integrate with smart ring technologies that can be used to send emergency alerts in situations where your phone is taken and you don’t own a smartwatch. These cutting-edge innovations aren’t available with any vehicle tracking solutions on the market to date (Innovators – Innovate).
5. Rapid Response to Real World Scenarios
   Inspired by real-world events, the 2022 Homewood, Illinois carjacking motivated our team to elevate vehicle safety to the next level. How do you get help on a cold night in an unfamiliar area without a car or phone? We are developing a solution based on the carjacking alert sent to our system, which enables us to dispatch an emergency rideshare to your last known location. From there, you can be transported to the nearest police district.
6. Proactive Safety Transformation
   One unique aspect of our notification solution is its ability to empower you. Rather than remaining the prey in a dangerous scenario, our tools can help shift the dynamic—where, unbeknownst to the predator, they unwittingly become the prey. This rapid role reversal gives you the upper hand, allowing you to take the offensive. Our approach, as featured in this blog post, is designed to teach you how to handle potentially deadly situations with confidence and preparation.

 Why Our Solution Is Different:

• We Compete on Services, Not Price:
  My solution does not compete with Amazon GPS trackers, because my offering isn’t just about tracking devices—it’s about delivering safety services that save lives.
• We Innovate Daily:
  VK Industrial IOT is constantly evolving to address current threats and emerging scenarios, providing you with technology designed for today’s challenges.
• Comparable Cost:
  While LoJack systems are widely used, dealerships often charge exorbitant prices for these services. In comparison, my solution will likely come to market at approximately $425.00 for a 3-year subscription plan, you won’t get more peace of mind for less.

 Your Safety Is Worth More:

Ultimately, my goal is not just to sell technology but to save lives and empower people. No vehicle is worth the loss of a life, and every person deserves to know how to use the tools they already have to protect themselves. When you choose our solution, you're choosing a service that truly prioritizes your safety and well-being, built to help you live another day—even in the face of danger.

Don’t settle for “good enough.” Choose a solution that gives you the tools, knowledge, and support you need to face danger head-on and live another day.
