The GPS can be accessed on any equipped vehicle with as little as an eight-second delay. Reports can produce tracking points in as little as twenty-second increments.
Q: Can you limit access to the various features and company information?
Yes, employees can be assigned security levels which limit the scope of information or features they can access.
Q: Our drivers and clients are used to our current forms. Will we have to change driver sheets or billing forms?

Q: What if our computers or the Internet goes down?
