While it\u2019s easy to assume the impacts to the production of computers or other computer-chip dominated items, other sectors are feeling the impacts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How Fleets Will Be Impacted\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important that fleets in all industries pay attention to these events as it could impact their operations. If there is certain hardware which requires semiconductors, it could mean that fulfillment will be delayed on a global scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What The Shortage Means For GoFleet Customers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GoFleet customers should keep in mind that Go Devices use semiconductors with the hardware. The computer chip is the core of the device to allow data to be collected and transmitted to the various solutions fleets are leveraging in MyGeotab. Without the chip, the devices would not be able to display real-time information or be interconnected with your fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>What You Can Do<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are urging our customers to review their yearly plan and factor is the global shipping delays for new hardware. Some delays will be upwards of 60 days and depending on the hardware requirement, it means that fleets will need to put in purchasing orders earlier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your fleet is thinking of purchasing specific hardware for compliance or network updates in regard to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/solutions\/eld-driver-apps\/\">Canadian ELD Mandate<\/a> or the 3G network shutdown, the global shortage must be taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would like to learn more about how the shortage in semiconductors may impact plans for your fleet in 2021, please contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/contact-us\">Success Team<\/a> today.
