Your fleet in one overview
Real-time location and route history of the entire fleet
A fleet is constantly on the move. On paper, every vehicle drives from A to B, but reality includes detours, waiting times and standstills that no one sees. GPS-Buddy's vehicle tracking system makes that reality visible: the current location of every vehicle in real time, and the complete route history per vehicle. The data comes together in Flowter, the platform from GPS-Buddy. This creates the basis to manage based on what is actually happening.
One overview of your operation
The current location of every vehicle is visible in real time in Flowter, together on one map with machines and equipment. That means less searching and fewer phone calls to drivers to find out where a vehicle is. As soon as something deviates from what was planned, this is immediately clear, so action can be taken right away instead of afterwards. This creates the basis to manage based on what is actually happening in the operation.
Route history and trips per vehicle
The route history shows the starting point, route driven, stops and final destination of every trip. Trips can be reviewed per vehicle and per period. Various reports are available, such as the trip report with all trips and stops per vehicle or per driver.
Direct notification on arrival or departure
Geofences can be set around locations such as projects, depots or loading addresses. As soon as a vehicle enters or leaves such a zone, a notification can be set up. This means it is known, without having to ask, that a vehicle has arrived at or departed from a location.

From location to performance
A vehicle tracking system shows where a vehicle is. Flowter shows what is happening across the entire operation: alongside location, also how assets perform, with solutions such as emissions reporting, Driver Intelligence and transport planning. This creates one overview of the entire operation. That is Asset Intelligence: the basis to manage based on what is actually happening. Everything that moves, visible in one platform.

A vehicle tracking system (track & trace) is an electronic system that continuously registers the location and movements of a vehicle. At GPS-Buddy, this is done through the XT4 gateway, which sends real-time location data to Flowter
GPS-Buddy's vehicle tracking system does not stand alone: alongside vehicles, Flowter also focuses on machines, equipment, and how these assets perform. This creates one complete overview of the operation, instead of a system that only shows location.
The vehicle tracking system works through the XT4 gateway, which is installed in the vehicle. The XT4 works in every type of vehicle, from vans to trucks. After installation, the system is immediately active; updates and configuration take place remotely.
Our hardware in the vehicle sends location data to Flowter, where it is visible in real time on the map. Alongside the current location, the route driven is also recorded, including stops and final destination, so it can be reviewed afterwards per vehicle and per period.
Among other things, the current location of every vehicle, the complete route history per trip, notifications when entering or leaving a set zone. In Flowter you'll also find data from all your other assets and how they perform.
GPS-Buddy's vehicle tracking provides insight into deployment and availability, enables better planning and faster response times, reduces standstill and increases productivity, delivers reliable data for reports and audits, and offers protection against theft or unauthorized use.
