Basic features
Vehicle tracking system - Frotcom

How does the vehicle tracking system work?

A small unit containing a GPS tracker device is installed in each vehicle. The device is connected to the vehicle’s battery. This unit allows you to monitor the movement of all vehicles: where they are, where they were, when they began the journey, where they stopped and for how long. Using any web browser or Frotcom’s Fleet manager app, you can access every bit of information about your fleet. For more information about all Frotcom Features, visit the Features section.

Please make sure that your company uses the vehicle tracking system to track vehicles and not individuals. Always let the drivers know you are tracking the vehicles. If you follow these two rules, you should have no problem. However, to be 100% sure, please check your local legislation on vehicle tracking.

Classes

Depending on the exact model used, units have approximately 7cm x 4cm x 2cm. Usually, the GPS tracker device is concealed, for security reasons.

Classes

The fuel management system uses fuel level sensors in the trucks’ tanks. Frotcom can use several types and brands of fuel level sensors, with different measuring accuracy and sizes. Frotcom permanently monitors the fuel levels of the tanks. Every fuel-level fluctuation is analyzed to detect refueling and draining operations (theft or other causes of fuel loss).

Classes

Panic buttons make it possible for drivers to trigger an alarm in an emergency situation. It’s a very simple procedure. While facing a threat, drivers may not be able to use their phones to call for help, but can easily press a concealed panic button without being seen by the aggressor.
