Private vs Business Mileage
Keep track of your vehicles inside business hours and easily turn off this function for outside of working hours! You can also keep track of your vehicles 24/7 to check if your staff are us-ing the company vehicles in their personal time.
Driver History
Eworks Tracking will furthermore give you a full history of all your drivers and their past journeys, mileage used, driving scores as well as a number of reports. With this feature, you can have everything captured and organized within one system.

Track your user's live location with our vehicle tracking map. You can also set up an auto re-fresh on this feature so you know exactly where your drivers are at all times, helping you plan reactive work more efficiently.
On-Hand Analytics
Eworks Tracking furthermore provides you with on-hand analytics. You can hence bring up comprehensive reports on your vehicles and drivers behaviours whilst out on the field.
2-Way Chat with Engineers
Communicate with your engineers through the Eworks Tracking system. From the admin side, you can directly communicate with them through their mobile device on the app.
Find Closest Engineer
Using our tracking map, you can also easily allocate your closest engineers to any work that you have put into the system. This makes it easy to assign their location and availability.
Customers & Suppliers
Pin point all of your customers and suppliers on the tracking map. By doing so, you can bring up their location and effectively assign work over to your field staff based on their location and their service.

Driver ID
Each vehicle will also have a driver's ID so you know exactly which vehicle is with whom. It is hence easier to locate your drivers on the map, focus on certain users journeys and bring up driver specific reports.
Temperature Monitoring
Our vehicle tracking can monitor the temperature of a vehicle. This is especially handy if you are storing goods that need to be stored at certain temperatures because if this temperature was to drop or increase, you would receive a notification informing you, so your goods are not damaged.
