Which track and trace car do I need?
| Oct. 2021 |.
Today's track and trace devices are now so small and easy to hide, and the ease of use has also improved considerably. As a track and trace owner, once you purchase the device, you only pay a small monthly subscription fee to use the software. This ensures that you can view your car's location in real time on your smartphone, receive notification of a motion alarm in case of theft, and access trip history.
There are different track and trace vehicles available, in different sizes and with features of your own choosing. Depending on your needs, you are going to have to make a choice which track and trace vehicle suits you. Therefore, we hereby ask you some questions that will influence the final choice:
1. What or who do I want to follow?
One of the most important things to consider when choosing a track and trace system is knowing who or what you want to track. After all, track and trace systems are no longer just there to follow cars, but equally to locate people and other objects. Depending on the application, All-Connects will suggest a different solution.
2. Why do you need a track and trace car?
The next important point is why do you want to track a vehicle? Does it have to do with your company's scheduling and would you like the nearest employee to get to a customer as quickly as possible in case of an emergency call? Or as a business manager, do you need a track and trace vehicle to exercise control because you suspect abuse or negligence among your field employees, for example? It could also be that your vehicle is often parked in unguarded places, and you want the track and trace car mainly for the sake of theft protection. Ask the All-Connects specialist which system meets your needs.
3. What capabilities should your track and trace car have?
As mentioned in the previous point, it's good to know what functionalities you need: In addition to the basic track and trace function, do you find it important to view reports? Do you want to be able to view and compare the trips driven, so you can use this info to optimize your routes? Below we list some basic features of a track and trace car:

4. How do you choose a vendor for your track and trace car?
To ensure that you can rely 100% on your track and trace system, it is necessary to take a licensed and experienced installer. In fact, many track and trace systems do not work properly due to being poorly installed. In addition, cheaper vehicle tracking systems are also offered that can never give you the same quality and reliability of data.
