There are various different types of vehicle tracking solutions out there, most of which are sold on a subscription basis, usually daily or monthly. Installation and setup is often relatively straight forward (although it depends on the product) and you may be able to do this yourself. Handling as much of the vehicle tracking solution installation and setup as you can yourself will make it as cost-effective as possible.

Vehicle tracking solutions involve three specific components. The first is that you have tracking unit hardware, which is a box installed on your vehicle / delivery vehicle that reports that vehicle’s positions to a central server.

The second component of the vehicle tracking solution is the tracking unit software. This is necessary for the tracking unit hardware, the box installed on your vehicle, to function. It is common that the software is supplied pre installed when purchasing the unit.

The third component of the vehicle tracking solution is the server. This can include a physical computer server and/or server software; the server receives positions from the vehicle’s box (the tracking hardware), then displays them on a map when you, the system user, request it. Depending on the system it may also offer additional options such as reports detailing where the vehicle has been over the last day / week etc, along with providing reports on average / top speeds.
