What Does FleetTracker Include?
Live Vehicle Tracking
Our advanced telematics system provides accurate real-time location data regarding your fleets location and movements. With our GPS trackers, you’ll receive regular location and journey updates to help provide full visibility across your entire fleet of vehicles.
FleetTracker Dashboard
View vehicle tracking data through FleetTracker’s highly intuitive and user-friendly dashboard. The dashboard, accessible via Crystal Ball’s Manager App, allows fleet managers to monitor essential vehicle tracking metrics at a glance and on-the-go. View historical journeys, real-time location tracking, driver behaviour data and other analytics to help support efficient fleet management.
Reports
FleetTracker generates comprehensive reports on demand which detail vehicle locations, movements, routes taken, and other analytics to help managers with their fleet management strategies. The fleet telematics system is also able to automatically send detailed reports to any authorised personnel.
Alarms & Alerts
The tracker will also alert fleet managers and other authorised users whenever key events and incidents such as unexpected movements occur. Managers will also be able to configure and customise the alarm system according to their vehicles needs and specifications.
Share Locations
With FleetTracker’s GPS tracking device, you’ll be able to share real-time location data and vehicle movements to any third parties of your choosing. This feature is particularly useful for companies looking to increase customer satisfaction levels, as customers will be provided with a level of assurance and transparency that will increase confidence in your services.
Geosearch
Geosearch enables fleet managers to search through their fleet’s telematics data by location and time in order to acquire more specific information regarding their vehicles whereabouts and which areas they have driven through during a specific timeframe.
Geofences
FleetTrackers geofencing capabilities will aid vehicle managers in setting virtual boundaries for their fleet. This helps fleet owners and managers monitor when their vehicles have passed through certain areas or ended their journeys, helpful for enhanced fleet management strategies.
Journey Playback
Journey Playback allows managers to replay a vehicle’s journey via a visual ‘snail trail’ displayed on the fleet tracking systems dashboard and mobile app. This feature also uses colour-coded icons to highlight any speeding events that occurred during the journey, helping to create a more detailed road speed report.
System Heartbeat
A core feature of FleetTracker, the System Heartbeat works with the GPS tracking device to provide an hourly ‘heartbeat’ that confirms the vehicle’s location details when the vehicle is not in journey. The feature remains functional even if the vehicle’s engine is turned off, allowing for round-the-clock fleet tracking.

These analytics will provide insight into any driving habits and behaviours that need improving, helping fleet managers plan the appropriate driver training required to keep their fleet safe and sound.

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 vehicle trackers will be installed by our in-house team of experts to ensure a smooth and seamless installation process. Our team will also walk you through its different features and how to use them properly so you’ll be able to get the most out of your new vehicle tracker.
How do I access the tracking data from my vehicle tracker?
All essential vehicle tracking 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 access and turn on the vehicle.
