What Does FleetTracker Include?
Live Vehicle Tracking
This advanced telematics system delivers pinpoint accurate, real-time location data. Regular updates on vehicle journeys and locations provide full visibility of the entire fleet. You can see your entire fleet’s movements at a glance or find out where any individual drivers are at a particular time.
FleetTracker Dashboard
The fleet tracking software’s dashboard is a user-friendly interface that displays key tracking data. It facilitates on-the-go monitoring of real-time locations, historical journeys, driver behaviour, and other analytics. For efficient fleet management, this is a must-have.
Reports
The fleet vehicle tracking system’s on-demand reports detail vehicle movements, routes, and other analytics. These reports assist managers in refining fleet strategies and can be automatically sent to authorised personnel within the organisation.
Alarms & Alerts
Customisable alerts notify managers of key events and incidents, like unexpected vehicle movements or geofence breaches. This feature is adaptable to specific vehicle needs. Want to receive alerts every time a vehicle passes through a geofence boundary or whenever they start or end their journeys? With this fleet tracking system, you can configure any alert you like.
Share Locations
In the fleet vehicle tracking system it’s easy to share real-time vehicle locations and movements with third parties. This transparency is especially beneficial for customer satisfaction, providing assurance that your driver is on their way.
Geosearch
Geosearch enables fleet managers to delve into their fleet’s telematics data, searching by location and time. Providing complete fleet visibility, this tool is invaluable for pinpointing the exact whereabouts of vehicles and understanding their routes during specific periods. This way, you can easily make informed decisions about route optimisation and assignments.
Geofences
With geofencing, it’s incredibly easy for managers to set virtual perimeters for their vehicles. This tool is vital for monitoring when vehicles enter or leave specific locations and areas, aiding in strategy development and enhancing overall fleet management. Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, boost vehicle security or provide more accurate ETAs to customers, geofencing is an indispensable feature.
Journey Playback
Managers can visually replay vehicle journeys on the dashboard or mobile app, with a colour-coded ‘snail trail’. This includes speed event indicators, offering a nuanced view of driver behaviour and aiding in creating detailed speed reports. Ideal for analysing driver safety and efficiency, journey playback is a valuable tool for route planning and fleet management.
System Heartbeat
GPS tracking systems aren’t just for vehicles on the move. Thanks to its advanced GPS technology, the fleet tracking devices can send out an hourly location update, even when the vehicle is not in motion or the engine is off. This ensures continuous tracking and security for fleet vehicles, reducing the risk of stolen or misused vehicles.

Fleet Tracker FAQs
-
Can I track my vehicles in real-time?
Yes, unlike some vehicle tracking units that require you to download the data once the vehicle has returned back to your offices each day. Crystal Ball’s GPS fleet tracking solution transfers the data to our web based portal in real-time, so you can view the information as it comes in.
-
How often do your vehicle trackers update?
To provide greater visibility, our truck, HGV and van vehicle tracking systems updates in a number of ways. Unlike most GPS fleet tracking solutions we measure changes in three key areas:
- Time
- Distance Travelled
- Change in heading
Finally, the vehicle tracking unit transmits hourly updates when a vehicle is not in journey.
-
How do vehicle trackers work?
With Crystal Ball’s telematics and vehicle tracking system, GPS trackers are installed in each vehicle you wish to track. The tracker then captures different types of vehicle data such as speed, location, fuel usage, and driver behaviour which is then transmitted over the 4G mobile network. This data is then compiled into detailed reports that are available to view on the FleetTracker Dashboard and compatible mobile app.
-
Is FleetTracker appropriate for personal use?
FleetTracker is more suited to tracking large fleets of vehicles, which makes them the perfect tracker for businesses that are looking to streamline their fleet operations. For tracking your personal vehicles, we recommend installing our Thatcham approved trackers instead.
-
Are the tracking devices easy to install?
All Crystal Ball trackers will be installed in your fleet vehicles by our in-house team of experts to ensure a smooth and seamless installation process. Our team will also walk you through the software’s different features and how to use them properly so you’ll be able to get the most out of your business’ new vehicle tracking system.

How do I access the tracking data from my vehicle tracker?
All essential fleet management data, including routes, journey length, speed, and fuel consumption estimations can be viewed from the FleetTracker Dashboard. The data is also available for access from Crystal Ball’s mobile Manager App, which allows fleet managers to access valuable fleet information while on the go.
-
Does the vehicle tracker still function when the vehicle is turned off?
Thanks to FleetTracker’s hourly system heartbeat, the vehicle tracker continuously provides tracking information even when the vehicle is turned off. If the tracker detects any unauthorised movement, you can use the bolt-on ‘remote immobilisation’ feature to ensure that any potential thieves won’t be able to operate the vehicle.
-
Does FleetTracker support real-time tracking?
Yes, our GPS fleet tracking solution transfers each vehicle’s location data to our web-based portal in real time, so you can view the information as it comes in. With real-time data, fleet managers can enjoy complete visibility over the movements and performance of their drivers.
-
How exactly do vehicle trackers work?
Crystal Ball’s fleet tracking solution works using GPS (global positioning system), transmitting real-time location data from the vehicle to the cloud. Fleet managers have instant access to up-to-date tracking and fleet performance information via the desktop or smartphone app. With a wide range of customisable alerts, reports, and analytics, our fleet tracking software gives you full control over fleet operations.
-
Does the fleet tracking software track fuel consumption?
If reducing overall fuel costs for your business is a priority, our fleet tracking solutions can help. While the software does not directly track each individual vehicle’s fuel consumption, it provides up-to-date estimates of fuel costs. This means that fleet managers can implement strategies to reduce fuel consumption. We also offer fleet fuel cards in partnership with BP, making it even easier for managers to track fuel costs and manage expenses.
