How Van Tracking Works 

Each van is fitted with a small vehicle tracking device that continuously sends location and vehicle performance data to your secure online portal.

From there, you can:

  • Track Van Locations Live — No delays or refreshes.

  • See Trip History — See every stop and journey taken.

  • Set Up Alerts — Get notified if a van is used outside working hours or enters restricted areas.

  • View Clean Air Zones — View congestion and Clean Air Zones in advance to avoid unnecessary charges and improve journey efficiency.

You can log in from anywhere using our desktop dashboard or vehicle tracking app, giving you full control even when you’re out of the office.
