How does GPS tracking work?
Global positioning systems and GPS enabled telematics have proven to be essential for construction businesses. Being able to have a one-pane view of the location of equipment, assets and vehicles across multiple job sites vastly improves the ability to keep projects on track and on budget – eliminating the need to chase communication with site foremen.
GPS tracking devices interact with navigation satellites that transmit signals to earth. This interaction provides real-time location data, accurate to within 100 feet – without the need for an internet connection.
When this data connects to the ABAX cloud, it gathers and analyses further intelligence such as usage, voltage, vehicle idling and driver behaviour – maximising output.
