1. Overview

Know where your vehicle is

A basis for remote vehicle monitoring is a small hardware device EG Tracker mounted inside the car, truck. The device is actually an On board Computer with GPS and wireless communication capabilities that transfers all relevant information from vehicle to the fleet management center. It gives you straight answers to the questions like: where did the vehicle drive for the last 30 days?, where did it stop?, how fast did it drive?, was there over speeding moments?, how many kilometers did it make?, and much more.!

Real Time Monitoring

Essence Group has succeeded where others have not by using its patented Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology to solve the problem. Students carry a small card that contains passive RFID technology that logs each student's entry or exit automatically when the student passes the scanner located on the school bus.

EG Tracker Advantages

• Geo-fencing
• Immobilization
• Fuel Level
• Over Speed
• Route Violation

2. How it works

3. Who Benefits

Real-time is the preferred GPS tracking option if a business needs vehicle travel information on an immediate basis. If sent directly to an online software application, vehicle travel information is available to users 24 hours a day. A dispatcher can monitor vehicles on the ground, spot real-time traffic jams, and observe how weather or terrain might be affecting a route. Using a vehicle tracking system will facilitate better fleet management and assist logistic companies to plan and accurately schedule their fleet’s route. Precise route planning and monitoring with a vehicle tracking system allows companies to compare and analyse routes. This will assist the company to choose the most fuel and time efficient route which benefits the environment as well as the customer. Vehicle Tracking alerts can be established to let you know via text when your vehicles or workforce show unexpected or unplanned activity. You can be informed when vehicles move into or out of a pre-defined area. This not only helps you increase the security of your assets, it also helps manage congestion charges. It also assists you in maintaining your duty of care as an employer by warning you of dangerous operating occurrences or drivers exceeding their time limits. By being alerted to these situations you can take immediate control.

1. How does GPS work?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a group of 27 Earth-orbiting. When people talk about "GPS," they usually mean a GPS receiver. The U.S. military developed and implemented this satellite network as a military navigation system, but now let’s everyone use the signals.

7. What is GeoFencing?

A GeoFencing allows a customer to define a virtual geographical area to ensure vehicles do not go outside or into a pre-determined area. If a designated boundary is crossed, the customer will receive a notification or alert that can be delivered via email or text. GeoFencing provides greater control for people who are tracking vehicles. Whether there is a specific route or areas that are "off limits" for safety purposes, GeoFencing provides peace-of-mind that the GPS tracking devices are showing your vehicles are where they should be at all times.

8. What are GPS tracking alerts?

GPS tracking alerts are unique limits that a customer can set up for their tracked vehicle. When the limit is broken, an email or text message is sent to the customer. If a speed limit or a GeoFence, for example, is broken, the customer will be notified. Depending on which GPS vehicle tracking system or service plan the customer chooses, they will be alerted to these types of occurrences 30 times per month, 60 times per month or 200 times per month. A customer will always be allowed to get more "alerts" per month by paying an additional amount per alert that goes beyond the current plan they are subscribed to.

9. What reports are available?

All GPS fleet management reports are available online and are visible directly after you login. Reports available are for Activity, Alerts, Drive-Time, Engine On-off, Geo-fence, Idle, Mileage, Point of Interest, Stoppage, Event Summary, and Over-speeding.

10. How many vehicles can I track at one time?

12. Can the GPS fleet tracking device be installed covertly without the drivers' knowledge?

Employers who own their vehicles have a right to monitor their assets covertly. GPS Vehicle Tracking lets you catch errant drivers and thefts, and so it always works better if the drivers do not know where the device is installed so that it cannot be tampered with.

13. What happens after the warranty?

A comprehensive annual maintenance contract can be taken for a fixed cost which covers preventive maintenance as well as components, with the exception of tampering.
