How to differentiate between a good GPS Tracking Software and a Regular One

Every day new GPS tracking software come into the market. It is getting tough to choose the best possible option. They have the same basic features such as real-time tracking, history, reports and geofences(all essential) in every fleet management software, how you can decide which one is better than the other. 


We have made it simpler for you. Here are a few points you must have in your checklist while you are doing your research. Following are the qualities that distinguish good Fleet Management software from average ones. 



  1. Ensures complete security of Vehicles and Drivers

By complete vehicle security, we do not just mean an anti-theft alarm that goes off in case of a theft attempt. Yes, it is essential too. However, a good GPS provider would provide you with the features like:

Immobilise - enables the manager to lock the vehicle remotely

Parking Scheduler -  ensures safety while vehicles are parked

SOS Button - for the security of vehicles, assets and drivers

Battery Disconnection alert - secures your battery too.


  1. Provides additional features to simplify Fleet Management 


Other than mainstream features such as live tracking, dashboard, history and reports, a good fleet management system would offer much more. Fleet managers do much more than just keeping track of the vehicles and trips. Route optimisation, fuel monitoring, Nearby Assistance, Driver management and more such features optimise fleet management in the complete sense. TrackoBit delivers all such features without any added charges because that’s what fleet management is all about. 


  1. API integration with third-party platforms

It’s impossible to call GPS Tracking software a holistic solution if it doesn’t support API integration with third-party platforms. For complete optimisation of the processes, integrating external support with the primary software is essential to speed up the process. It’s okay if you use a hundred other platforms for other needs if the Software provider can integrate them. Life becomes so much better. 


  1. Integrates hardware devices of any communication protocol

Software is like the soul of the entire GPS Tracking set-up, and the hardware is like a body. It’s essential to have perfect sync between the two for better functioning. Make sure the software is easily compatible with multiple communication protocols as you never know if any fleet owner brings new hardware with a new protocol. Software that has integrated more than 150 devices into their software would be the reliable ones. 


  1. Manages your communications well

Other than providing good support, which is also very important, the software must also take care of online support channels between fleet owners and the GPS providers because that saves a lot of time and energy. It’s better if there are different windows for complaint tickets, purchase enquiry and releasing announcements. 




If you find all these qualities along with these ten must-have features in GPS Tracking Software, just go for it.
