If you have a logistics fleet, you’re surely interested in knowing where each of your vehicles is at all times. This is one of the most basic features of a GPS system, but did you know that not all GPS systems are the same?

The most advanced satellite GPS systems for fleets feature live tracking—a capability that will take the monitoring of your vehicles’ locations to the next level. Keep reading to learn more about this telematics technology.

What is “Live-tracking”?

Live tracking is a feature that enables real-time GPS tracking with a much higher level of accuracy than traditional GPS. The main difference is that most GPS systems update their location every five minutes. Just imagine everything that can happen in five minutes: accidents, wrong turns, unauthorized stops…

Logitrack's GPS devices with live tracking report every minute and every turn, allowing your monitoring team to track the exact location of each vehicle in real time.

Benefits of Having a GPS with Live Tracking

Not every satellite tracking system for fleets offers features like live tracking. At Logitrack, we’ve developed our own GPS platform that provides our users with numerous benefits, including:

• Track every minute and every move: keep a close eye on all your units with high precision
  
• Smart automation: Our robust monitoring interface allows you to eliminate human error through locks and alerts triggered based on your operational parameters
  
• Basic security features: Our most advanced satellite tracking system includes a panic button and a feature that can shut down the engine upon detecting abnormalities or violations of business rules
  
• Multi-carrier SIM: Enjoy compatibility with numerous local and international carriers, including Telcel, Movistar, T-Mobile, AT&T, Rogers, and many more
  
• On-site and remote support: We have an extensive network of qualified technicians in over 600 cities, with agents available via chat, phone, and email 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
  
• Dual platform: We have two tracking platforms—the main one and a backup system—to prepare for any eventuality

A GPS IS NOT A SAFETY SYSTEM

In Mexico, a truck is robbed every 26 minutes. And the larger your fleet, the higher the likelihood that one of your trucks will be targeted.

If you're looking to protect yourself against highway robbery, a GPS alone won't be enough. Vehicle tracking systems let you know the exact location of your vehicles, but they won't help if a criminal tries to board the vehicle, cut the wires, or use a jammer to disrupt communication.

For these situations, at Logitrack we have developed some of the most advanced security systems for cargo vehicles, including:

• Anti-tampering system: Tamperlock is a cable-cutting prevention system that detects any type of tampering or violation of your business’s rules, and securely and automatically locks the unit
  
• Advanced anti-jamming system: This system detects electromagnetic interference (jammers) and safely shuts down the unit
  
• On-site unlocking with dynamic codes: Once the security protocols have been completed, the monitoring center provides the operator with dynamic codes via a keypad similar to a bank token, allowing the unit to be unlocked on-site
  
• Door Sentinel: Additional protection that detects when doors are opened and locks the unit upon detecting unauthorized access
