Car tracking or telematics refers to the transmission of vehicle data in real time which is then recorded and analysed. By placing a GPS tracker in the cars, the device captures data such as location, speed, and driver behaviour, and estimates fuel usage and CO2 emissions. All this information is instantly transmitted over the mobile phone network. The data is collated into dashboards and reports accessible via internet-enabled devices and apps, allowing you to gain full visibility over the fleet of vehicles.

Our GPS trackers are highly accurate in tracking the exact locations of your cars. The devices can pinpoint your cars’ locations to within three metres or 10 feet.

We know how important real-time visibility over vehicles is, so we’ve designed our car trackers to update in three ways when a car is in use: time, distance travelled, and change in heading.

When the car is not in journey, the tracker also transmits an hourly system heartbeat which keeps you updated on the location of unmanned vehicles.

Although telematics is often associated with large enterprises with huge fleets of vehicles, our car trackers are also very useful for SMEs. Streamlining fleet management and allowing for more efficient and cost-effective operations, using trackers in your vehicles can be key to boosting efficiency in your small or medium-sized business. For more information, read our article about how telematics are essential to help SMEs grow.

Crystal Ball offers a car tracking mobile app which allows you to manage fleets remotely from your smartphone. The app can be downloaded from the App Store or the Google Play Store.

Installing car trackers can not only deter a theft attempt, but it also increases the likelihood of recovering the stolen vehicle quickly and effectively. The cars’ vehicle tracking devices will continue to send out location data when they are moved by opportunistic car thieves, allowing members of the UK police force to rapidly intervene and recover the vehicles.

For added vehicle security, consider choosing our bolt-on features of automatic driver recognition with driver ID cards (so you will know immediately if an unauthorised driver operates the car), and remote immobilisation (so unauthorised drivers are prevented from starting the vehicle). With these added features, you can enjoy complete peace of mind that your company cars are safe.

FleetTracker is our GPS tracker designed specifically for business fleets. With its powerful integrated tools and advanced cloud tracking software, FleetTracker is the perfect solution for organisations that want to gain greater visibility over their car fleets. In contrast, an insurance-approved tracker is more suited for individuals or small organisations with high-value vehicles who are concerned about theft. While they lack the fleet management capabilities of FleetTracker, Thatcham insurance-approved car trackers still reduce the risk of theft and increase the chances for recovering stolen vehicles. If you’re still not sure what the best car tracker for you might be, get in touch with our team and we’ll be happy to provide a demo.

You can get each car tracker fitted quickly and easily thanks to our nationwide installation service. We’ll install the device and get you started on our car GPS tracking software so you can start seeing the benefits straight away.
