GeoTrac:
Using GPS
for a Real-time View of Your
Mobile
Resources
“Putting all our routes on a map and visually showing

location to our dispatchers opened a whole new world…this
AVL solution
has blown the dispatchers away. We’ve been really pleased with the program.”
-- GeoTrac
Customer
 It’s true…a picture is worth a thousand words. And GeoTrac provides an invaluable birds-eye view. Using digital maps and GPS-enabled cell phones,
Datatrac's
AVL solution gives your dispatchers up-to-the minute
location
tracking of the entire fleet, a group of drivers or an individual driver. With this easy-to-use and inexpensive
AVL tool, couriers can track
fleet resources, manage work orders and improve operating efficiencies.
From a management perspective, GeoTrac lets you:
- Identify customers that require significant wait time
-
Track the date and time that your drivers were at a specific location
- Indicate whether drivers are speeding
- Trace out-of-route miles
It all adds up to a greater ability to optimize driver and vehicles resources while improving customer service.
How It Works
GeoTrac is an Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) solution. It combines Motorola’s GPS handset capabilities with ESRI’s powerful ArcIMS server software. The software provides dynamic street-level maps, addresses, and points-of-interest to the dispatcher’s web-based console.
Datatrac hosts the
AVL application and maintains the maps, reducing maintenance costs while keeping map data current. GeoTrac supports low cost GPS-enabled cell phones. At a very low cost per month per driver (plus the cost of the appropriate wireless plan), the
AVL solution is extremely cost effective.
