You asked and we are delivering… SolarTrak just added a mileage tracking option with IFTA fuel tax compliance functions.

Now you can track vehicle mileage or use the “Replay a Day” function and check speed at any point on the trip. Your repair crew will love the ability to get maintenance reminders based on mileage.

Plus, get a “Mileage by State” report for easy compliance to IFTA Fuel Tax reporting requirements. It shows each piece of equipment and the mileage it traveled in each state, making it easy to calculate fuel taxes.

For customers with mixed vehicle and equipment fleets, we’ve priced the license separately so you can add the Mileage option to only the vehicles that need this function.

The price? For those renting trackers, its $2.50 per month per tracker. If you buy a tracker, add $150. Quite affordable. Super useful.

Imagine running a mid-sized company with employees of all ages. Some young ones are a bit unreliable, while some of the older ones need a little help to keep productive.

It’s the same with fleet management. No, you can’t attach Fit Bits to monitor your employees, but you can install GPS trackers on your equipment and get valuable information that will keep your fleet running at top performance.

With SolarTrak trackers you’ll know:

• Which machines are operating, when and for how long
• Current location and movement history
• Battery voltage status

Plus you get a reminder (by text or email) when routine maintenance is due and perform preventative fine-tuning to keep equipment in top shape. Share the “maintenance due” alerts with your repair staff to help schedule your shop. Use the Maintenance History to watch for equipment that may need replacing.

It’s much less expensive to keep older machines operating than to buy new. SolarTrak GPS trackers’ data on preventative maintenance and battery status can prevent unexpected downtime. The end result is improved efficiency and assets that last longer.

SolarTrak GPS trackers: think of it as a Fit Bit for your fleet. And at $10 per month per tracker, and affordable way to keep your fleet healthy.

This article (by Christopher Smith, published Wednesday, March 28, 2018) in the Andalusia Star-News clearly shows how GPS trackers can benefit small counties and townships such as Covington County in Alabama.

“The Covington County Commission agreed Tuesday to put a GPS Fleet monitoring system in all of the county vehicles.

County Engineer Lynn Ralls said that the system would be very beneficial for the county.

“Usually these types of systems cost upwards to $100 a month per unit,” Ralls said. “The one we are looking at is only $10 a month per unit.”

The commission is looking at purchasing 80 units in total to cover the Emergency Management Agency, the road and bridge department, the sheriff’s department and the Covington Area Transit System.

The software would be able to track the hours spent in a car, the events and how many times it stops and starts.

It also will provide the evidence for a lot of insurance claims.

“For example if someone calls and complains that a dump truck broke their window,” Ralls said. “We can pull up the information and see where that truck was and if it was actually there.”

The commission decided that the department heads of each department would be in charge of the tracking system.

The total amount for 80 units would be $800 a month.”

County Engineer Ralls brings up two important points that apply to all tracker customers: the cost savings, and the fact that data collected on tracked equipment can be used to fight frivolous lawsuits and help retrieve stolen assets.
