Live Van Tracking Built into Your Driver App
Van tracking is built into your app using the GPS in your drivers' phones, so there's no extra hardware, installation or separate contract. The office sees every active van on one live map, with stops completed, live status and battery level, and tracking only runs while a route is open.
How Our Van Tracking Works
Traditional van tracking means fitting black boxes to every vehicle, signing a long contract and paying a monthly fee per van. Our van tracking works differently. It uses the GPS that's already in your drivers' phones, through the same driver app they use to complete collections.
When a driver opens their route, their location is shared with the office at regular intervals. When the route is closed, tracking stops. There's nothing to install, no extra contract and no extra hardware.
Every Van on One Live Map
Your office sees every active vehicle on one live UK map that refreshes automatically every 30 seconds. Each van shows:
Who's driving
and which route they're on
Status
Live, Stationary, No Signal or Offline
Battery level
on the driver's phone, so you know if a device is about to die
Last update time
Click a van to see its route, its next stop and how it's progressing.
Stops Done, Stops Left
Tracking isn't just dots on a map. Each van shows how many stops are completed and how many are left, so you can see at a glance whether a route is on time. If a driver is falling behind, you can move stops to another van, warn customers or reorganise the afternoon before it becomes a problem.
Answer "Where's My Driver?" in Seconds
When a customer rings to ask when you're arriving, your office can answer in seconds. Find the route, see where the van is and how many stops are left before theirs, and give a confident answer. Combined with automatic reminders and arrival windows, you'll get fewer calls in the first place.
Driver Privacy Built In
Drivers are understandably wary of being tracked. That's why tracking only runs while a route is open. Location updates are limited to about once a minute, and nothing is tracked outside working hours or when a driver isn't on a route. Drivers know exactly when they're visible, and you get the information you need without overstepping.
