How does Mobile Tracking work?

Crystal Ball’s phone tracker app uses a combination of technology and communication networks to monitor and gather data about workers and their vehicles’ movements. To begin using Crystal Ball’s mobile tracking app, fleet managers simply need to install the application on the smartphones as used by drivers. Once installed, the app taps into the phone’s built-in GPS system, enabling precise location tracking throughout the journey. The app then transmits this real-time location and journey data to the web-based field service management system.

Why should I invest in Crystal Ball's mobile tracking?

Crystal Ball’s Mobile Track provides total fleet visibility, which is particularly beneficial in cases where vehicle tracking may not be feasible. For instance, if part of your fleet comprises privately owned vehicles (grey-fleet) or if you wish to extend monitoring to employees outside of their vehicles, mobile phone tracking could be the ideal solution.

This option also offers tracking of essential metrics identical to traditional vehicle tracking, encompassing speed, complete location history, time on site, speeding, and more. It also enables the use of GeoFences to keep tabs on visits to and from specific locations, conveniently depicted on the map.

By employing Crystal Ball’s MobileTrack, you gain the advantage of receiving real-time alerts for specific events like speeding or excessive idling. This proactive approach allows you to promptly address any potential issues and ensure better overall fleet management.

Additionally, the system grants you the ability to analyse historical journey reports, granting valuable insights into past performances, allowing for data-driven decision-making and further optimisation of your fleet operations.
