Tracking: where the machines are, and where they've been

A tracker on the machine reports its position all day long, without anyone having to remember a thing. You get a live map today, and an answer ready three weeks from now when a customer asks whether the job got done.

  • See it now

    Every machine on one map, where it is right now and whether it's moving. Send the crew to the right spot, and find the operator who's got stuck.

  • Prove it later

    Play the routes back, hour by hour. The argument about whether the work was done, and how long it took, ends with a look at the map.

  • Know what it cost

    Position data becomes hours per field and per machine, so you can hold a fixed price up against what the job really took.

The hardware

Two bits of kit, bought once

Fitting a GPS tracker in a tractor
  • GPS tracker

    Goes on the machine and connects to its battery, SIM already inside. You fit it yourself, no technician needed. It shrugs off the weather and keeps recording when the signal drops.

  • Bluetooth beacon

    Screwed or strapped to the implement, running on its own battery. It tells the tracker what the machine's pulling.

60-day money-back guarantee on hardware. Hardware prices are on Tracking pricing.

Two plans

Proof, or proof plus the numbers

  • Proof-of-Work

    Show where a machine was and how long it worked. Live map, routes, geofences and safety checks. Geofences: draw an area on the map and get a heads-up when a machine arrives or leaves.

  • Insight

    Everything in Proof-of-Work, plus the numbers behind the machine: machine statistics and field profitability.

Tracking needs hardware. Task doesn't

The tracker on the machine is what makes all this work. No tracker, no position and no proof. If it's the hours and the invoice you're after, start with Task. One more thing: if you invoice lots of customers, pair Tracking with a Task plan.

Put a tracker on one machine and see for yourself

Start with one machine and add the rest once you've seen the map. And if it's not for you, you've got 60 days to send the hardware back.
