Free benchmarking guide · 2026 edition

Your device fleet costs more than you think. Here’s the proof.

Canadian T&L IT leaders use this guide to find out what their device fleet is actually costing them — and where their wireless spend is leaking — so they can stop paying for waste they can’t see.

  • Know your true fleet cost — benchmarked at 1,000 and 5,000 devices with Canadian data
  • Find the telecom waste hiding in your wireless bill — the average fleet wastes 15–30% of wireless spend
  • Quantify what device downtime is costing your drivers — with numbers you can put in front of operations and the C-suite
  • Know if your fleet has outgrown in-house management — six operational signals, based on industry benchmarks

What you'll find in 20 pages of Canadian fleet data

1

Cost #1
IT labour consumed by device logistics

70 min per incident

How much IT time does one device incident actually consume? We quantify the break/fix burden at fleet scale with Canadian FTE cost data.

2

Cost #2
Productivity loss from device downtime

12 hrs/month per driver

A broken scanner stops a driver from completing proof-of-delivery. We model the operational cost of downtime at 1% failure rate and beyond.

3

Cost #3
Telecom expense waste

Up to 30% waste

15% to 30% of enterprise wireless spend is wasted. We show where it hides in a T&L fleet — zero-use lines, billing errors, orphaned SIMs.

4

The full picture
Total cost scenarios + six signals

~$2.07M at 1,000 devices

Two TCO tables — 1,000 devices and 5,000 devices. Plus a six-point checklist: if three apply, your fleet has likely passed the inflection point.

About the methodology

All data in this guide is sourced from published research, government statistics, and industry analyst reports. Canadian-sourced data is used wherever available. Where estimates are constructed — such as the total cost scenarios — the methodology and assumptions are shown transparently. This is a benchmarking tool, not a sales pitch.
