We’re ending 2025 on a high note: in G2’s latest Grid® Reports, customers ranked Motive for the fastest time to value. It also marks our seventh consecutive quarter as the top-rated platform for delivering the fastest return on investment to enterprise customers.
Fastest time to ROI: More than a metric, it’s a competitive edge
In the Enterprise Grid® Report for Fleet Management | Winter 2026, Motive customers reported achieving ROI in just 5 months. That’s 6 months faster than the industry average of 11 months and well ahead of other industry providers.
According to the Enterprise Grid® Report for Fleet Management | Winter 2026, Average estimated ROI (payback period in months):
- Motive: 5 months
- Samsara: 11 months
- Lytx: 17 months
Why it matters: It’s always better to see results faster. You shouldn’t have to wait years to see a return. With Motive, customers are seeing real results in just a few months. Motive’s AI‑powered Integrated Operations Platform touches multiple cost and risk areas at once, so improvements in fuel efficiency, safety, maintenance, and compliance compound quickly.
Faster rollout and driver adoption accelerate data capture across GPS, driving behavior, fault codes, and compliance, so teams can act sooner.
We have been able to improve our drivers safety, get ahead of mechanical issues before they slow us down, and give us a chance to improve the efficiency in which we dispatch our drivers as well. It has led to ROI in avoiding downtime and incidents, dollars from knowing our idle times in all vehicles, and ensuring our drivers don’t take unnecessary time and miles to get where they need to go.
When ROI comes in months instead of years, fleets see the difference not just on paper, but on the ground.
The primary reason for our Motive initiative was to exonerate the driver and minimize losses. The unforeseen side effect has been a 50% decrease in our slow-speed, fixed-object, collisions. This has been observed in a few short months and we are excited to see the long-term effects. If the current trend holds true, we have paid for the three-year commitment in less than 6 months.
In addition to earning the fastest ROI rating on G2, Motive’s new 2026 ROI Report breaks down exactly how customers are saving money, reducing risk, and boosting productivity faster than ever.
Fastest implementation time: The launchpad for long-term success
Fast ROI depends on a smooth rollout, and Motive leads the industry there, too. Customers on G2 rated Motive #1 for ease of setup, implementation speed, and user adoption.
According to the Enterprise Grid® Report for Fleet Management | Winter 2026, average enterprise go-live time:
- Motive: 2.6 months
- Samsara: 3.6 months
- Lytx: 4.2 months
- Netradyne: 4.6 months
Across all customer segments on the Grid® Report for Fleet Management | Winter 2026, Motive averages just 1.6 months to complete deployment— still ahead of every major player in fleet management.
Motive is built to be intuitive for every user, whether they’re tech-savvy or brand-new to digital tools.
The interface is user friendly and even the most technologically challenged driver is able to make use of the application with ease. Training time on the ELD has been cut to less than an hour, versus multiple hours with competitors
When implementation works for drivers organizations get to value sooner.
I find the product’s installation and setup very smooth, with great support and easy-to-follow instructions. I appreciate how everything connected without issues through Bluetooth, employing top-notch technology
