We asked Mike Wimmer, head of SolarTrak Support, for the best single piece of advice for our users. His advice? Set up and use Notifications – and be sure to include low Battery Voltage Notifications. You’ll save yourself grief in two ways:

1. When a battery runs low, the equipment’s performance is compromised. If the equipment dies in the field, that’s an expense to you: lost income for the rental plus the cost of sending a crew to do repairs. Our Low Battery Notifications serve as an early warning system to avoid this trouble.
2. If a battery fails, so (eventually) will the tracker. There is a small battery unit in each tracker, so when an asset’s battery fails, SolarTrak will keep transmitting the position, but only for a few days.

“The default at which you are alerted is 12 volts” says Mike, “but you can customize that number when you create a model.”

Need a refresher? Watch our Notifications video. Still need advice? Call Support at 494-223-4994. Mike or any of our support staff be more than happy to help get your SolarTrak system working effectively to save you time and money.

Insurance companies want to minimize their risk. That’s why SolarTrak users are finding that they can often get an insurance discount for using GPS/telematics trackers. If you can see where your equipment is, there’s less chance that the insurance company* will need to pay a claim for a stolen, lost or misplaced asset.

Small and easy to install, trackers can also discourage theives

Of course, making life easier for your insurance agent isn’t the main reason to buy… think how tracking equipment will make your life easier. Using SolarTrak, you can:

• See each unit on a map using GPS coordinates
• Get a text or email notification when equipment moves
• See engine-hour use by day, week, or month for accurate billing
• Get reminders about regular maintenance to keep your fleet running

All this data will help you use your fleet more efficiently, keep your fleet healthy and make sure you get every dollar your equipment earns…. at under $10 per month per unit.

Start by watching a free demo, then do a cost analysis… isn’t your equipment and your fleet management worth $10 per month?

*Every policy is different. Check with your carrier to determine if any discounts apply to you.

We’d all love to have a personal assistant, wouldn’t we? Someone to remind us what we should be doing, and when.

SolarTrak can be a valuable tool for both you and your repair crew. Using the Notifications feature, you can have SolarTrak send you reminders when your equipment needs maintenance…. oil changes, oil and air filter changes, inspection checks, etc. SolarTrak also lets you monitor voltage output, in addition to tracking if and when the equipment is powered up.

When there is an issue, SolarTrak will accurately guide the repair crew directly to the equipment, even if it is parked off road in a construction zone.

You invested heavily in your fleet. Keep your equipment in top shape will keep it running longer, making more money for you and your company. Begin by asking for a FREE demo.

Let SolarTrak help organize your fleet, keep your repair crew productive, and keep your equipment healthy.
