What is it?
Fleet tracking is an online management portal that uses GPS technology to monitor movement and location status of vehicles and assets. Assets often refer to other equipment besides vehicles, such as trailers, generators, and even workers. Combining assets and vehicles is referred to as a fleet, so managing all of this using a single application becomes very beneficial for companies looking to streamline their operations.
Why would I want it?
GPS fleet tracking uses telematics technology (a blend of telecommunications and computer information systems) to gather data in real time from fleet vehicles and assets. To accomplish this, a GPS tracker is used, which is a small electronic device typically attached to a vehicle’s OBD port. OBD is short for “on-board diagnostics” and refers to the diagnostic systems in most modern vehicles since the introduction of the OBD-II standards. This data can be collected in near real time depending upon your specific needs so that fleet managers and owners can make calculated decisions about operations (examples-Which vehicle/driver should I dispatch to a specific job or location? Where is the nearest concrete pumper? How many generators do we have available in the yard?).
Benefits
Stopping Accidents and Preventing Lawsuits.
Can You Prove it?
Whether your company fleets are made up of stationary assets, (such as trailers or containers), or vehicles like cars, trucks, or service vans, a GPS tracking system can alleviate a common concern from drivers and management. Face it…. we live in a very litigious society. Have you ever seen commercials for legal services promising hefty payouts for someone involved in a commercial vehicle crash? Our GPS software can help drivers back up any counterclaims by providing speed and location data. Combined with Inteletrack dash cameras, and now you have valuable evidence backed by video. By implementing fleet-wide safety metrics, not only will you reduce costs (such as higher fuel consumption when exceeding speed limits) but you’ll also improve upon delivery times to your customers.
Reduce Hard Acceleration
We’ve all witnessed it before. At an intersection, the traffic light turns green and the commercial van next to you speeds off driving erratically in an attempt to beat the next light. Watching similar events makes you wonder who is paying for not only the wasted fuel, but also the wear and tear on the vehicle. With GPS fleet tracking, business owners or fleet managers can be notified of such behavior using the available reports or alerts set up for each driver. This can not only improve driving behavior but reduce costs and improve the reputation of company safety.
Reduce Speeding
A common problem with drivers behind the wheel of YOUR company vehicle is the issue of speeding. This can be alleviated through automatic alerts that are custom defined by you. Whether they are posted speed limits or in excess of those limits, these alerts can flash on the screen portal, emailed, sent via SMS, or retrieved from reports within our online portal. This can greatly reduce the chances of a future problem when it is addressed in the timely manner that this service provides.
Not Just For Safety.
Highlighting the benefits of fleet management to employees helps them understand that it is NOT punitive in nature, but in fact, a gateway for efficiency. Look at it this way; was there ever a time in the past that businesses had antiquated systems in place? Of course. It wasn’t that long ago when computer systems didn’t even exist in most businesses, but only relied on paper for their records.
Incorporating a modern-day GPS fleet management software platform is the difference between running your business “on paper” verses running it well and in a highly efficient manner. Not only does it cut costs in terms of routing, delivery, and fuel savings, but it also promotes a culture of safety on the road for the drivers and your customers.

Geofencing
Allow managers to create virtual perimeters around meaningful geographic areas so that they know where, when and how long any vehicle is located, receive alerts, and track the actual on the job time.
Fleet Activity Notifications: Receive Automatically Via Geofencing Alerts
Help secure your equipment by setting up geofence alerts to create a virtual fence around your assets. If an asset moves, you’ll know when and where it is at all times.
Instant alerts allow you to notify law enforcement immediately, reducing damage and potentially speeding up asset recovery.
Create custom Geofences and Alerts. Monitor vehicle and asset visits. Get instant alerts (screen pop-up balloon, email, SMS, etc. is available) each time a unit enters or leaves a Geofence. You can view and highlight how much time each unit stays at any given location for efficient routing and service calls.
Reports
Location, idle time, stops, speeding, and more. Inteletrack makes it easy to see drivers on the job. You can monitor and reduce wasteful habits such as excessive idling, heavy acceleration, and hard braking. Set custom geofences to keep deliveries on track.
Inteletrack will utilize the GPS data from the units giving you the ability to run reports. You can filter this data in the report contents which can be created for one unit or an entire division of units within your company. For example, there may be a trucking division with company-owned trucks as well as owner- operator trucks. You can then separate the two groups by color and name for easier management as well as assign access rights to specific personnel and management.
