This can help business owners verify that employees are paid accurately for their hours while eliminating time spent manually matching up timesheets to job tickets.
With satellite and hybrid mapping, using international roaming SIMs and the best networks, you can track your fleet's position 24 hours a day, in real time.
Telematics comes with impact detection, alerting you to any vehicle or asset incidents and their location, ensuring the maximum coverage.
