Geotracking meets a simple need of companies by enabling them to track the exact location of delivery staff and technicians in real-time. Vehicle fleet management is therefore more efficient and customer service is improved. IER, a high-profile player in mobility and tracking solutions for industry, transport and logistics, offers a complete geotracking solution.

IER’s geotracking solution relies on a partnership with Microlise, Europe’s leading manufacturer boasting more than 80,000 equipped trucks. The solution generates numerous customer services and enables vehicle fleets, be it delivery or maintenance technician vehicles, to be managed as close to the field as possible.

Real-time vehicle tracking:
A company’s vehicles, and those of its contractors, are located in real-time by terminal or PDA. A search can therefore be made for the closest vehicle to find out if it is available to take on an urgent or last-minute job. And the driver instantly receives all the information he requires.

Alert management:
Alerts can be configured in the system and real-time information is provided in the event that a driver fails to respect a planned delivery sequence. A simple message to the driver allows you to find out why. With more than 32 different parameters, a whole range of information can be accessed from a vehicle such as temperature monitoring, door opening, and engine stops.

Engine data reporting:
Knowing how much fuel each vehicle has consumed and how many miles it has done helps companies to save fuel by adopting a clean-driving policy.

An analysis and reporting tool:
All of the data collected can be analyzed and used to draw up summary fleet performance reports indicating driving times, fuel consumption, etc.

IER designs and installs a complete geolocation solution featuring:

• Microlise vehicle terminals,
• Multiple communication interfaces (Wifi, Gprs, Edge) with automatic selection depending on the type of data to be reported and the networks available,
• Robust PDAs to be fitted in the vans, made by market leaders Motorola, Intermec or Psion.
