Fleet tracking is a system that shows you where every vehicle in your business is right now, on a map. A small GPS device is fitted to each vehicle. It sends location data to a dashboard you open on your phone or laptop, from anywhere.
How It Works: 4 Simple Steps
- A GPS device is fitted to your vehicle (under the dashboard — takes about 45 minutes)
- The device picks up satellite signals and sends your vehicle's position every few seconds
- You log into the TrackAlways dashboard on any phone or laptop
- You see every vehicle on a live map, with speed, route history, and real-time alerts
What You See on the Dashboard
- Live location of every vehicle on a map
- Current speed and direction
- Full route replay for today or any past date
- How long the engine was left running while parked
- Driver behavior scores (harsh braking, speeding events)
- SMS or app alerts when something happens
