How to migrate a GPS platform in a controlled way

1. Technical and contract inventory

   Identify vehicles, devices, SIM cards, accessories, protocols, contract commitments, users, and integrations.

2. Device classification

   Determine which trackers can be reconfigured, which need a firmware update, and which should be replaced.

3. Data and history plan

   Define exports, records, reports, and the retention period before shutting down the previous platform.

4. Controlled pilot

   Migrate a representative group of vehicles and validate positions, events, CAN bus data, and alerts.

5. Phased rollout

   Transition by location, vehicle type, or operating group, with defined owners and time windows.

6. Training and wrap-up

   Set up profiles, train users, verify integrations, and document the new environment.

Tip: don't cancel your previous service until you've verified that all critical vehicles are reporting correctly and that the related processes work on the new platform.
