How Motorbike Tracking Works

After installing a small SIM card-enabled tracker in the motorbike, the device transmits the GPS location over the mobile phone network. This allows you to see the movements and details of each individual bike and rider in real time using your web browser or app on your smartphone.

Details from the tracker can be viewed on a map or in configurable custom reports, allowing for easier analysis. You can easily share location information gathered by the tracker with relevant third parties such as delivery recipients to provide better customer service. Plus, you can even set custom alerts and alarms to be triggered when certain parameters are met, for example a rider passing a geofence zone, a period of idling, or unauthorised movements.

 

Benefits of Motorbike Tracking

For organisations with a fleet of motorbikes, bike tracking is key to boosting efficiency, saving money, and keeping customers happy. It doesn’t matter if you have a fleet of thousands of vehicles or just a handful of motorcycles – GPS tracking allows you to make the most of your assets. Crystal Ball’s GPS trackers and intuitive dashboards are essential tools for any business to track their motorcycle fleet.

Crystal Ball’s Fleet Vehicle Tracker offers a wide range of benefits for companies of all sizes that use bikes or motorcycles in their operations.

Increased efficiency and productivity

With real-time GPS tracking, you can optimise routes to minimise travel time and boost efficiency. Rerouting journeys for the most efficient navigation allows for more jobs to be completed or response times to be minimised, increasing your organisation’s productivity and ensuring happier customers.

Improved safety for drivers

By monitoring and analysing driver behaviour, the tracker can also improve safety for your employees and others on the road. By evaluating speeding, braking, and aggressive driving, FleetTracker allows you to rank drivers’ safety and easily identify top performers for recognition and reward while assigning additional training or discipline to unsafe riders.

Better security for bikes

The last thing you want is for your vehicles to be stolen or damaged. GPS vehicle tracking allows you to keep tabs on movements in real time, while the system heartbeat feature sends frequent updates even when the motorcycle is not in use. Custom alerts and geofence boundaries mean that you can be notified instantly if vehicles make unauthorised movements.

Reduced fuel consumption and maintenance costs

With ride and journey data allowing you to optimise routes, minimise, and improve the efficiency of riders’ driving styles, you can cut down on the costs of fuel and maintenance for your fleet.

Improved customer service

With a GPS tracker, it’s easier to gain an overview of where all staff and vehicles are on the map for better decision-making. Ensure that the closest person is dispatched quickly and efficiently for complete customer satisfaction every time.

Who Uses Bike Tracking?

Bike and motorcycle tracking is used by a range of different business types, ranging from small startups to global enterprises.

Delivery services

  • GPS trackers are crucial for delivery companies to optimise delivery routes, provide up-to-date delivery time estimates to customers, and streamline journeys. For delivery drivers using motorcycles and bikes, trackers help monitor and improve delivery processes while also reducing the risk of theft while deliveries are being made.

What our clients say

Steve Brace

Director, KSC Carpets

Speeding has been drastically reduced by at least 90%. We are now checking speeds on a daily basis which has resulted in very minimal speeding. Before we installed Crystal Ball the drivers were speeding every day, now we are rarely having this issue.

Stuart Simcox

Financial Director, C Hanlon

I would recommend Crystal Ball to similar businesses, having 3 different solutions in one place is much easier than jumping in and out of different systems.

Steve Potter

Transport Manager, ThyssenKrupp

Our main reasons for employing tracking were the traceability issues, keeping an eye on deliveries and the security factors. But Crystal Ball has given us so much more than that. We’ve made savings everywhere, and I wouldn’t want to run this fleet without it now.
