About Universal Gear...
We do source universal mounting solutions, because sometimes people just have their heart set on it. They do work, but not all of the time. We HIGHLY recommend our POD-in-a-Box bundles where the case is made specifically for the tablet, the mount is made specifically for the case and the charger is fully integrated with both. This provides maximum reliability.
***These are Available but Our Bundles are Recommended***

These Components make up the BEST Driver Experience...
The Network: T-Mobile
The fastest growing wireless network is ready to power your Proof-of-Delivery applications and connect your drivers. T-Mobile has the largest wireless network in the country and has invested more into that network than Verizon or AT&T. This network keeps getting better and better and has lightning fast data speeds.
The Phone: CAT S62
What comes to mind when you think the word Caterpillar? Let me answer for you...RUGGED. That's right, this phone is fully rugged, water proof, dust proof, drop proof, driver proof. We've sourced many different rugged phones over the years but this one takes first place.
The Phone Mount: Proclip
Proclip makes the absolute most reliable mounting solutions for Last Mile delivery. Your drivers are constantly plugging and unplugging their phones while wearing out the charging ports. The Cat S62 mount has charging that bypasses the delicate charging port delivering maxumim reliability.
The Tablet: Samsung A7 Lite
The "flavor of the month" tablet from your wireless carrier rep won't cut it. You need a tablet that is certified and supported by your POD provider, is widely deployed and widely available. We highly recommend a data plan to provide optimal management and to run additional driver apps.
The Tablet Rugged Case: Proclip Tough Sleeve
Most people think that an Otterbox is the right case for their POD tablets. When you have to keep the tablets mounted and charged, turns out it's not optimal. You need a rugged case that has integrated charging. The Tough Sleeve is hands down the best of the best delivering maximum longevity.
The Tablet Charger and Mount: Proclip Sliding Power Block
Truck stop tablet chargers are a recipe for disaster because they were meant to be manually plugged in. The case and charger need to work together to ensure that your tablets are charged and can be mounted with a metal pedestal mount, not plastic junk.
The MDM Software: SOTI MobiControl
Mobile Device Management software is absolutely critical. Read that again. MDM allows you to update applications, remotely install new ones and keep your drivers from using applications and websites they shouldn't be using. SOTI is a premium MDM that offers you the ability to lock the screen of the tablets once the truck starts rolling. Your safety manager and attorneys will love this feature as will the others on the road.
Staging and Kitting: Our In-House Team
Tablets don't just set themselves up and you can't just load the POD app and send the drivers out the door. You need to set things up the right way. That means tweak all the location, security and display settings so the tablet runs like it should. Also, assembling all the cases, mounts and posts is a heck of a job that people don't realize what goes into it until all those boxes show up in their offices. We make it easy because we've setup literally thousands.
Ongoing Management: Our In-House Team
Tablets and mobile applications don't manage themselves either. Updates are going to need handled. New applications are going to need to be deployed. Somebody is going to break their tablet screen. Somebody is going to lose a tablet or worse, stolen. The bottom line is this: Our team will take all of this off your plate and make your problems our problems to solve. We know what we are doing when it comes to mobility management.

Mounting and Protection System Overview
ProClip: The WORLD'S BEST in Mounting and Protection
The Tough Sleeve tablet and mounting system offers you the absolute best system available today. Charging failures represent one of the most common points of failure with tablet-based POD systems. The Tough Sleeve has a 99%+ success rating in this area. Also, tablet drops lead to broken screens and the Tough Sleeve has a 6 foot drop rating. Hardwire and USB/Cig plug powered options available.
Easily Managed by the Driver
The CAT S62 Mount Overview
Your drivers are in and out of the cabs of those trucks tens, up to hundreds of times per day. The POD application is constantly running, as is the turn-by-turn navigation. What does this mean? A battery draining situation. But what if the battery dies in the middle of the route? That's bad news because the driver has to wait until their phone battery is restored and that's precious time and money. We have the perfect mount for your drivers that has a simple dock-and-charge configuration. No plugging and unplugging constantly that will eventually destroy your phone's power port and your drivers day. Simply insert, remove, deliver and repeat.
MDM Software Overview
A Premium MDM for a Premium Experience
MDM (Mobile Device Management) Software allows you to fully lock down mobile devices providing control of not only the applications used, but the device itself. You can choose what applications your drivers use and what applications you don't want them to use.
You can also push new applications to your tablets without the need to manually install them on each tablet or bother the driver to assist you remotely. This prevents catastrophic failure whenever an update occurs, because with MDM software, the updates are controlled and rolled out when the timing is ideal.
It gives you the ability to remtote control devices, seeing what the driver sees and allowing you to assist them with tasks they do not know how to complete. Think of this as having an IT guy seeing exactly what the driver sees even though they are thousands of miles away.
Distracted Driving Functionality
Not only does SOTI lock down your devices and allow you to manage them remotely and remote control them, but also has a screen lock feature when driving to only allow certain applications to be up, like maps and hours of service. Standalone distracted driving applications are $60 per year.
