Details

The problem: Global Sensor Systems (GSS) is innovating their product. We deal directly with distributors and fleet managers, but we want to get feedback from the end users: THE DRIVERS.

The solution: We need to do market research to better understand what drivers want in a system like ours.

The outcome: We have hundreds of systems out there- we have been doing this for 45 years! Do some primary market research and collect feedback from the drivers using our systems!

Deliverables

Activities:

  1. Situational and environmental analysis explaining what our industry looks like, a complete analysis of our competitors in the market, proper SWOT analysis of our business, and also customer analysis.
  2. Marketing strategy, product/service focus, and goal setting for this new product
  3. Developing proper Marketing Mix for your product
  4. Primary market research - we have allocated $200 to assist with this. If there is a survey, respondents could win a prize!

About the company

Company
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Manufacturing, Technology, Automotive, Transport, trucking & railroad

We manufacture the only automatic braking system preventing backing accidents for commercial vehicles. New cars today have them built in, but not large vehicles like haulers and garbage trucks. Backing accidents are the number one type of accident in the waste management industry because the larger the vehicle, the bigger the blind spots. Sure cameras and sensors are great, but they don't compensate for driver reaction time or distracted driving. Our company has been run by a small team of 2 for 45 years. Help us reach the next level of awesomeness! Help us keep drivers and their communities safe!
