Different businesses have different needs – you may require custom budget considerations, manage different number of vehicles in different time zones and have diverse requirements from your fleet. Employing modern vehicle tracking systems can always make things simpler and efficient, and there are a number of choices available with custom features that can fit in every budget.

Top Benefits of Investing in Vehicle Trackers

It may seem like a big investment at first, but having vehicle trackers with web hosted tracking software actually reduces operation costs and enhances fleet performance and fuel usage. Simple, easy to use and comprehensive vehicle tracking systems make work processes and management all the more efficient and less time consuming.

Value Added Features of Vehicle Trackers

At Vehicle Tracking Tech, we offer comprehensive solutions to our clients, custom designed to cater to their unique needs. With advanced vehicle tracking and fleet management systems, business owners can track more than just fuel, mileage and driver performance.

Track vehicles and drivers in real time

Not only can you track the position of the vehicle using GPS, but you can also view real time events and monitor driver behaviour.

Use Dash Cams to View Driver Behaviour

Cameras on the dashboard record driver behaviour and report erratic behaviour to the fleet operator. They are sometimes part of the tracking systems, but extras can also be integrated for an added level of security. For example, Tracker Vision can add extra features to Tracker Fleet Plus by utilising the Garmin navigation unit. This dash cam will give you incident details via GPS and the tracking box will provide GPS location when you wire it to the input of the tracking box module.

Vehicle Immobilisation

In cars and LCVs the immobilisation feature can be installed to certain tracking units. However, the operator can only immobilise the car when ignition is off. Please note that the operator must exercise a duty of care when using this function, as it will only work when the ignition is switched off.

Avail Private and business mileage switch

The business mileage switch gives you accurate info on driver working hours and private working hours. This information is accurate and can be submitted to HMRC to avoid fines or investigations.

Get Driver ID and Fuel Information

You can monitor who is driving the vehicle through driver ID tags. Harsh braking and acceleration can be ascertained via GPS or CANBus. To cut down on the costs, you can also use tracking products that keep a check on fuel consumption, like the TomTom Link 105.

HGV Trackers

HGVs have an open FMS Gateway that let you track fuel consumption, fuel intake, service intervals and diagnostic lights. If the FMS gateway is not available or open, you can use Squarell Flex for the same purpose (subject to vehicle compatibility).

Use Tachograph Interface

Get access to your Tacho dashboard via tracking software you have anywhere and anytime. However, for remote downloads please note that the Tacho has to be generation 2 digital Tacho, version 2008 onwards (either Stoneridge or Vdo). For example, the TomTom Link 510 provides both past and real time information on the location, condition and movement of your vehicles and Tachograph. Working hours, fuel consumption and driver performance can be tracked and viewed through vehicle FMS. If vehicle FMS is not open, then the Squarell Flex can be used for the same purpose. Please check for compatibility by giving us a call.

Provide Global Coverage

Not just limited to the UK, some vehicle tracking systems offer worldwide tracking so you can view vehicle location and distance from destination at any time. This not only helps you manage tasks effectively but also offer a better service to your clients.

Enable Communication between Truck and Trailer

Squarell Trailer ID offers a communication system that provides information about sensor integration, braking systems and cooling units on both the truck as well as the telematics system.
