Features for TradespeopleCraftsman

Tailored to your industry.

GPS tracking

Our smallest telematics unit is used wherever you need reliable tracking, whether for vans, cars, special vehicles, or machinery. Thanks to the built-in battery, you can track your vehicles even when they are parked.

Small, inconspicuous, robust, and easy to install. These are the key features of the trendbeeBASIC GPS tracker.

Forms

The form module in the Trendfire telematics system offers a wide range of applications in everyday life. Simplify data capture for your drivers, automate processes based on the information entered, and digitally map out everyday processes. From departure checks and holiday requests to complex internal processes or an addition to driver's licence checks, you can capture this data completely digitally in the future. Through the close integration with other functions in the Trendfire telematics system such as the alarm system, appointment management and the telematics app, data is reliably captured and enables a high degree of automation.

Digitize data capture, automate workflows.

Reporting & Analysis

Our aim is to provide you with comprehensive insights into your vehicle fleet and operational processes, enabling you to make the most of your fleet and operate it cost-effectively. Our reports provide key insights and allow you to compare your fleet’s performance over extended periods.

Analyze all your fleet data and draw informed conclusions.

Telematics portal

The telematics portal is the heart of our telematics solution. All information from your fleet converges here, whether it's a truck, trailer, semi-trailer, or car. In line with our motto „Telematics perfected“ we aim to offer you the best possible user experience and a wide range of features. Your fleet data provides a solid foundation for decision-making and helps you manage your fleet optimally and use it as effectively as possible.

Rugged and reliable GPS tracking

Do you want to know at all times where your vehicles are, how far your employees are from the next customer, or exactly when a service technician has arrived at the job site? Our trendbeeBASIC GPS tracker provides you with this information with an accuracy of just a few meters. You can easily access the location of your vehicles in your browser via our telematics portal and view them on a map. The data can be used for numerous other analyses. Additionally, you can use geofencing to define specific areas, such as a warehouse or a large customer site, and receive notifications when a vehicle enters or leaves the area.

No matter what type of vehicle you use, our rugged GPS tracker can be easily installed in vans, cars, forklifts, or trailers. The housing has been IP68-certified and is therefore protected against water and dust, allowing the GPS tracker to be used outdoors without any issues. Installation requires only a 12V or 24V power connection.

Monitor trips in detail

Analyze all your vehicles' tours in detail. Starts, stops, and breaks; addresses, routes, distances, and times—all at a glance. Use this information to provide proof to your clients and customers or to simplify your billing. The tour list clearly displays all stops, dwell times, and the routes between them. The address and duration are shown for each stop. You can use this data to simplify your billing, optimize dwell times, closely monitor routes, and identify personal trips. Your employees will also benefit from the tour log. In the future, you won’t have to record and reconcile times and visited customers yourself; this automatically reduces your daily workload. Display all tours in a clear table for a single day, a week, a month, or a custom time period. You can easily export the data to Excel for further processing.

Route planning and order management

Good planning is half the battle. No one wants to leave capacity unused or waste time. That’s why it’s important to make the best possible use of your fleet. Customers must be served reliably, and routes must be selected on time. And then, in between, orders with special urgency may come up. Use the online route planning. You can save recurring stops, combine them into routes, and send these to drivers on their smartphones or tablets.

Proven routes can also be saved and sent on a recurring basis. Your drivers handle all order management from their smartphones. The advantage is that you always know exactly what the route status is and can react in case of delays. In addition, all documents and information related to a delivery are digitally bundled and are available in the office immediately after delivery to complete invoices, among other tasks.

Put an end to the paper clutter

Simplify your employees' daily work routine by using a mobile time-tracking solution. In addition to messages, tours, and orders, our app can replace the traditional timesheet.

  • Automated time tracking using location data and geofencing
  • Mobile time tracking via the driver's telematics app
  • Time tracking at a building terminal
This saves you and your employees a lot of work, as it reduces clerical errors and ensures that the data is available digitally on a daily basis and can be processed or exported for further billing. Working hours can be daily, weekly, or monthly overviews can be analyzed along with all time stamps, including location. This allows you to monitor and document work and break times and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
