The dashboard functionality allows you to fully customise the dashboard. You can set the screens to match your interests, and therefore personalise your interface.

The live tracking facility allows you to locate one or more vehicles in the fleet at a particular point in time so that a vehicle's current location, status and speed can be ascertained in seconds. This does not only allow you to check a vehicle's progress, but also enables you to keep your customers informed of estimated arrival times (ETA's).
To enhance flexibility, there are different ways to track and locate vehicles in your fleet, from one-off position requests to tracking at set intervals. The map screen is easy to use and you can view as few or as many vehicles as you wish at the same time.
From the map you can immediately contact drivers via SMS or email and pull up the driving and vehicle history.

This is a feature that provides an option to view specific journeys in greater detail to see where a vehicle has been within any particular area, as well as where it started, stopped, and any idling which may have occurred. The Snail Trail thus provides detailed information about the history and status of particular vehicles by laying a snail trail on the map. Simply select a vehicle to view its position, speed and status within the time parameters defined by you. If required you can easily save the results on your desktop via PDF or email it to colleagues and superiors.

This is a feature that allows you to set a boundary around a specific location or area on the map and you can easily see whether vehicles and drivers are in the locations they should be. Automatic alerts can also be programmed, and either received by email or SMS.
You can create a boundary around a particular location and define whether vehicles are allowed inside or outside the parameter. If a driver travels in an unauthorised area you will receive an alert. This is particularly useful should a vehicle be stolen, or can be used to identify whether field-based staff are breaching agreements e.g. visiting the pub during working hours.
You can create as many geofences as you wish and the system allows you to easily manage them.

Here you can create and manage groups by filling in the relevant details on the screen. You can also easily add or delete groups at your leisure.

By customising groups to your company's needs the system relays your company structure and quickly finds key information and data.

You can view detailed information about the vehicles and their efficiency so you can analyse how well you utilise your resources. The results are shown in a pie chart and a graph and the vehicle's utilisation is shown as a percentage number underneath. As such, you can easily determine whether your fleet is over or under utilised. By having this information you can implement efficiency changes or maintain the current fleet utilisation.
<< Return to Features -
This feature makes it easy to view detailed information about any job logged into your system and check its progress. Job status is similar to vehicle status as you can implement excellent customer service by having access to information about the job's progress status, what the driver is doing at any point in time, and improve the business efficiency as a direct result of this full transparency of your fleet.
