lite Tracking Features
Features and functions
Live Map View
Know where your vehicles are in real time, with live status updates and locations. All your vehicles can be easily viewed on a single screen. By knowing your vehicles status and movements you can increase productivity, improve your customer service and save time calling your drivers to find out where they are.
Historical tracking
Trackitnow store your data for a minimum of 6 years and it is available 24/7/365. All journeys displayed are colour coded on the map to show the speeds that the vehicle was travelling and all stops are numbered. There is a `trip stops` summary showing the address with times and colour coded icons to show stopped, idling, PTO engaged and driving events. Graphs also show speed, ignition on/off and idling times. All journeys and idle periods are itemised so that you can easily see where to improve fleet efficiency.
Route Reporting
To help identify and eliminate vehicles overlapping on routes and inefficient schedules you can, either by day or by week, re-run and check the overlap of the routes for up to 6 vehicles at the same time. Each vehicle is shown in a different colour, and all of the stops are numbered to help you easily optimise your fleets operation. This is a key management tool that will help fleets operating with multiple depots or groups of vehicles covering overlapping regions or territories.
Unlimited zones / alerts
Geofence Zones trigger easily recognisable location alerts by on-screen pop up, email or any SMS text message recipient. Alert time parameters can be set up to notify any SMS or email recipient in or out of working hours. Typical Geofence Zones are: Home, Office, Customers, Suppliers, No-go areas, London Congestion Charge (CCZ), Refueling points, Security sensitive locations and any location where the convenience of a user friendly name is more easily recognisable than a long formal address. On screen Trip stops summary reports and all paper or PDF reports are easier to read and feel more familiar to the reader.

Fleet Management Features
Full reporting
All of our reports have been designed to give you the information required to run your business efficiently. You can instantly view your fleets performance reports or choose to have the reports automatically emailed to you when you want them, daily, or weekly without having to login to the ERA system.
With over 30 reports to choose from, you can be sure that we have a report that fits your requirements. We store the tracking data for a minimum of 6 years and the historical reporting is instantly available when required. All reports are available in PDF and most in Excel formats.
Scheduled reports - can be automatically emailed to the required members of staff or management team, e.g. a timesheet report can be sent to your inbox every day you wish to select, or can be emailed directly to your wages clerk to verify overtime claims.
Just some of the key reports within any of the ERA tracking platforms (client, web and mobile based) to help you manage your fleet are:
- Timesheet - shows the start and stop time, along with miles driven and number of stops for every day.
- Journey - shows details on every journey taken including full address, Geofence zone, time taken, trip costs and much more.
- Speeding - shows all journeys where the vehicle exceeded the maximum speed limit set by your company.
- Group report - shows totals for miles driven, time driving, time stopped, idling costs, driving costs and much more.
True Engine Running
All Trackitnow hardware supports our unique TER (True Engine Running) technology that only reports idling when the vehicles engine is actually running. The savings from reducing idling in your fleet can easily pay for the tracking implementation. For example, a typical HGV may waste £2.50 worth of fuel if it idled for an hour.
Fleet Management
With small or large fleets, managing the vehicle servicing and MOT dates can become a never ending task. With the Trackitnow system, email reports and alerts are sent directly to the fleet manager with: MOT date, servicing dates, insurance renewal and road fund licence renewal dates. Automatic email alerts are sent before and when any of these become due, to help plan your servicing.
Fuel usage / cost
Comprehensive fuel usage information is stored against each vehicle on all journeys and idles are costed. The detailed and summary report gives the fleet manager all the information to monitor the fuel usage and understand where the waste is within the fleet.
