What do vehicle trackers do?

Simply put, vehicle trackers are designed to track your fleet of vehicles, regardless of what type of vehicle they are. Once they are installed they can inform the fleet manager of:

  • Movement.
  • Live location.
  • Driver behaviour.

This is achieved while the vehicles are on the move through the use of the GPS satellite system. This works together with Google Maps which uses a number of satellites in various positions to triangulate the current location of each vehicle. Using this with a multi-business sim allows you to have full coverage across the US, Canada and beyond.

Our trackers are roughly the size of a matchbox for discretion to help avoid anyone tampering with it and will be installed under the dashboard.

How does vehicle tracking work?

Vehicle tracking begins upon ignition, the GPS has a constant link that updates every minute to keep you in the loop with the latest information from each of your vehicles. The routes that your fleet of vehicles takes gets stored so it can be analyzed at a later date by using our series of reports, perfect for what a manager needs from a vehicle tracking system. An example of one of our reports is:

  • Travel Report - The classic report that shows any given journey(s) over a specific time frame that looks at:
    • Start/stop.
    • Overall time taken.
    • Distance travelled.
    • Time spent at each stop.
    • Average speed and idling time.

You can collate all of this and understand your drivers overall performances and this makes it easy to see where issues might be and which drivers have low productivity and poor habits.

Vehicle tracking for semis, trucks and HGVs

With increasing fuel costs making up a large percentage of the running costs for freight transport and consumer goods businesses, a vehicle tracking system can help businesses identify how and where they can improve their efficiency.

We provide tracking for semis, trucks and HGVs that help customer services teams provide:

  • More accurate estimate times of arrival.
  • Improving customer satisfaction through time efficiencies.
  • Checkpoint options to see if drivers are ahead or behind schedules 

If a driver gets into a problem, for example, a vehicle breakdown, the system is capable of getting the driver to send an instant notification allowing the fleet manager to reassign other jobs in the system and avoid potential issues with customers.

Vehicle tracking systems for vans

We work with many businesses that rely on vans to trade. From small companies of just a few vehicles to larger enterprises with vehicles in the thousands, our van tracking system is ideal for deliveries and site-based services with an easily scalable system to cope with growth. Many van fleets like the peace of mind tracking brings for:

  • Recovery if a vehicle is stolen.
  • Knowing that staff are on-site or where they should be for work.
  • Paperless and robust expense receipt capture.

By knowing where vans are at any time should a problem or urgent request arise you can see who's nearest to handle the task at hand.
