GPS tracking

GPS truck, fleet and field-force tracking

Track trucks, consignments, school buses, field teams and machinery in real time, on web and mobile, with alerts when something needs attention.

Every operation needs to track different things. We build tracking around your priorities, so it fits how your business runs instead of forcing you into off-the-shelf software.

How it works

How tracking works

From the device to the action your team takes.

  1. Trackers and phones

    GPS devices on trucks, buses and machinery, or the phones your team already carries, report location and status.

  2. Secure cloud platform

    Position, speed, fuel and running hours arrive in one platform and are stored for reporting.

  3. Rules and geo-fences

    Routes, geo-fences and speed limits are checked continuously against every vehicle and person.

  4. Live map and alerts

    Web and mobile dashboards show every asset live, with alerts for route deviation, over-speed and arrivals.

  5. Action

    Dispatch the nearest vehicle, update customers and parents, and report on every trip.
