1. Instant Anti-Theft Alert:

As we all know, theft cases have increased many, particularly of two-wheelers, which isn’t good news for any vehicle owner. We can’t stop stealing vehicles, but we can secure our vehicles in whichever manner we can. One way to ensure your scooter is to install a GPS tracker for scooty to get instant notification whenever other than you will touch or try to start your vehicle. Now, you must be saying that what can happen even if I get an alarm, the GPS tracker won’t stop the stealing. Your concern is valid, but at least after hearing the alarm, you can go at least to the parking area, and even if the thief can steal your scooter, you can at least track him on your mobile app.

2. Mark Area According to Your Need:

In this GPS tracker, there’s a function called Geofencing. Through this, you can create a safe-zone for your scooty. After drawing a safe-zone in your mobile application, you will be notified immediately. For example, you have marked a 150-meter area around your office parking as a safe-zone. Whenever your scooty gets out of that area, you will get a notification on your mobile. Just like this example, you can mark any place according to your requirement as a safe-zone.

However, a GPS tracking solution can solve this headache by providing you the exact location of your vehicle anytime you want. Through this, you can track your scooter’s location without letting the riding person know.

Still, the women community, which forms half of society, prefers this (scooter) underestimated vehicle to any other vehicle. Therefore, nobody should take the risk with scooty security and must install a GPS tracker for scooty.

That’s where the role of the GPS tracking system becomes more critical. Now I will tell you how a lightweight GPS tracker can help you in managing your fleet.

All businesses are finding it very tough to maintain a steady revenue which they were making before Covid, as they cut down certain activities due to the fear of spreading Covid. However, during this pandemic, a fleet management solution can be used to improve efficiency, safety and connectivity. It can further help the fleet in the long run.

Mark Areas, Report and Analyze with Geofences

A geofence is a virtual fence that you can create through the mapping software around a particular area according to your need, which supports reporting and real-time-alerts.

1. Real-Time Alerts:

Suppose there is a reported Covid-19 case in a commercial building. With the help of a GPS tracker system, the fleet manager can create a geofence around that area so that none of your drivers enter that area. If any of your vehicles enter that area, you will get an instant alert on your mobile app so that you can stop your driver by informing him on the phone. A fleet manager can also create a geofence around a quarantine zone. With the help of a safe-zone, you can even do contact tracing for your employees in your way. This could help the whole community in general also.

2. Reporting & Analysis:

This function helps you see the historical reports to analyze which driver went in which area to boost your contact tracing efforts for employees.

3. Route Optimization:

By combining routing features with geofencing, fleet owners can alert their drivers from getting into unwanted traffics and time-taking routes.

Keep Track of Drivers, Vehicles and Jobs Remotely

• Asset Tracking

Many drivers, technicians, and other staff are taking vehicles to their homes at the end of the day instead of the company office. They do this due to the Covid situation so that they can maintain social distancing. In this scenario, it becomes necessary for any fleet owner to keep a check on all his buses via Onelap fleet tracking software.

• Schedule Optimization

This attribute comes in handy during the low staffing or employee illness due to Covid or anything else. With the help of this, fleet managers can maintain schedule prioritization as usual, even in the presence of low staff. It increases the functional mobility of all the employees. Schedule optimization also helps in reducing the spread of germs among the team by reducing paper-based transactions.

Cost Savings with the Right Fleet Technology

The limited staff available and limited products are getting transported, and the losses occur during the country’s complete lockdown. Considering all these things, the fleet owners should do everything they can to save money.

“Before purchasing this tracker I use to get worried about my child a lot whenever he goes to school or somewhere else outside. I used to feel very insecure about my child’s safety but since the first day when I purchased this tracker & started to put into my child’s bag, I feel assured. It gives me alerts on phone whenever my son follow a different route from the usual one while coming from somewhere, like school, tution, etc. Now, with the help of Onelap GPS I can track my child whenever I want.”

How child tracker works?

For tracking your kid firstly, you have to purchase a GPS tracker and have to register on our GPS tracker for kids app. This app lets you monitor your child from anywhere. Here are the 2 steps through which GPS tracker works:

1. Exact Location:

Most of the GPS trackers tells you the common area of the location of your child; they show the current location very few times. Whereas, the Onelap GPS application offers you the exact location of your kid which gives you more satisfaction in comparison to the nearby area.

2. Bluetooth Trackers:

Passive GPS trackers use the BlueTooth and Wi-Fi connection to locate which is useful for finding small kinds of stuff like Key but not to locate your child. Onelap application not only helps you in finding little things but even locating your kid. While purchasing the tracker, you will get the SIM within, with the help of satellites it can identify from anywhere.

Advantages of GPS Tracker

Here are the 5 advantages of GPS tracker for kids:

1.  Life-Saving Alerts:

As we have already discussed initially that parents feel very insecure whenever their child goes out of the house, whether for school, tuition or anywhere else. To make children parents more assure about their kid’s security, we have a feature in our device called Geo-Fence. Geo-Fencing feature of Onelap Go allows you to mark a particular area as safe-zone. Whenever your child crosses that specific area, you will get an instant notification on your phone. To understand it, let’s take an example, suppose you have marked your house or your child’s school as safe-zone. Now, whenever your kid comes out of that marked area, you will be notified.

Parents are careful with their kids, but parents of the child with particular need have to be extra cautious; that’s why they decide to send their child to school with the school bus. School bus gives them a little bit of satisfaction but not satisfaction which they desire for. Onelap’s GPS tracker can give you the assurity which parents are searching for through the exact location. To make it more clear I will tell you a story of our customer named Sunita Yadav. She purchased our GPS tracker for kids & used it for a month & then she shared her experience, in which she said:

” This child tracking system has transformed my life; it has given me the security regarding my kid which I desired for a long time.

3. Critical During Mishappenings:

We are all aware of the rising kidnapping cases these days, and the kidnapping of children is even on a high rise. Forget about kids with Autism; this reality can create fear in any parents mind. Scary enough! But don’t worry, our tracker can solve this issue. Let me tell you how? Suppose a kid is coming home from school just like a typical day and a suspicious person tries to kidnap him through his sweet conversation & take him to another route. As he takes him to another way, you will get instant notification on your child tracking app so that you can follow him & inform police about the exact location without wasting any time.

4. Device with Past Data Storage:

This is the tracker in which you can even store the data so that you can see which route your kid has taken in the past days. For instance, you fear the path your kid takes, or you want to see the whole route map taken by your kid every day, so you can see the stored data whenever you want. Onelap servers are perfect in this regard.

5. Bigger Battery:

Parents take no risks in the safety of their kid & they shouldn’t. That’s why we have built our battery keeping the parents perspective in our mind. Our battery long lasts nearly a month so that you don’t face any issue in monitoring your child and can keep your mind in peace. Most of the GPS trackers battery doesn’t last even for 1-2 weeks without charging, which can disrupt your tracking anytime that means our GPS tracking device is an upgrade on other GPS devices.

Conclusion

How to select the right GPS tracker device in India?

GPS tracker devices have become quite a competitive market over the past few years with a wide array of products available providing a variety of features. Since the best fit and value-for-money product is what the user is looking for, it could become quite difficult given a large number of GPS trackers available in the market. Please keep these factors in mind while differentiating between the GPS tracker devices –

Also read: Wired vs wireless – Which type of GPS tracker is suitable for your application?

Make sure you buy an Active GPS tracker device instead of a Passive one

Active and passive GPS devices collect data in the same manner. But the main difference is that Active GPS trackers are ‘real-time’ GPS trackers. They show you the data in real-time by sending their data over a cellular network to the cloud servers. This makes Active GPS trackers the best type of GPS trackers to monitor your vehicles or assets. These types of GPS trackers also have features to set Geo-fences of areas, giving you alerts whenever the vehicle enters or exits the defined area.

On the other hand, passive GPS trackers store data inside the device SD card. In order to view the data, you have to disconnect the tracker from the vehicle and connect it to the computer using an SD card reader. Because of all these features, active GPS trackers are more expensive compared to passive GPS trackers.

Size or form factor

The size of a GPS Tracker device determines its capability to be discreetly hidden in a vehicle so that it is difficult to locate without any prior knowledge about the area where it had been installed. If the device is easily visible or located then it becomes easy to dispose of in case of any theft and considerably reduces the chances of tracking down the vehicle. Hence, a smaller and compact GPS tracking device is much more desirable and preferable.

Few other factors are as following

• Internal / External antenna

Some trackers come with internal antenna whereas some come with an external antenna. Mostly newly launched comes with an internal antenna only.

GPS tracking software (Most important)

Many GPS Trackers do not have a dedicated mobile application that makes it easier to access the services of the tracking devices.

Hence to prolong the life of a device you must look for a device that has been certified as water-resistant. The wiring and chipset in the circuit must be protected so invest in a device that guarantees resistance against this.

Cost
