Fleet GPS tracking and OBD data

Track your vehicles and your machinery in Allokit. See their position, their trips, their speed and — depending on OBD compatibility — the data the vehicle reports.

Positions and trips

See where your vehicles go

Allokit records the positions the GPS reports while a vehicle is on the move. You can review the route travelled, the stops and the times each vehicle passed through.

Current position

Find your vehicles on one map and see when each last reported its position.

Trip history

See the route travelled, with the starting point, the destination, the duration and the distance.

Stops and time on site

See when a vehicle arrived at a location, how long it stayed and when it left.

Speed and driving

Review the speed recorded while moving and spot the events that need your attention.

Vehicle data

More than a dot on a map

Plugged into the diagnostic port, the GPS can also receive information from the vehicle. What's available varies by make, model, year and the protocols the vehicle supports.

Mileage and usage

Compare the distances travelled and the time each vehicle is in use.

Engine hours and idling

Review running hours and spot the periods where the engine runs without moving, where that data is available.

Fuel

Track fuel level and consumption on compatible vehicles.

Vehicle condition

Check battery voltage, RPM and some temperatures reported by the vehicle.

Fault codes

Review the problems flagged by the diagnostic system to spot the ones that need your attention.

Built-in Bluetooth gateway

Your vehicle also detects the tools around it

The Allokit GPS can act as a Bluetooth gateway. When a tool fitted with a compatible Bluetooth tracker is near the vehicle, its detection is reported to Allokit along with the truck's position.

That's how you see where and when your tools were last detected, without asking your crew to scan them.

    Each detection is attached to the matching tool's record in Allokit.

  3. 03

    It all lands in the same inventory

Telehandler on a job site, a type of machinery that can be GPS-tracked in Allokit
Tracking can also suit some machines and motorized equipment.

Some telehandlers, including certain Merlo models, may have a port that can power the GPS. Even when engine data isn't accessible, the unit can still report its own GPS position.

We check the port, its power supply and the data available before recommending an install.

Frequently asked questions

Your fleet, your questions

Does a technician have to install the GPS?

On a vehicle with a compatible port, the unit plugs straight in with no permanent installation. Some heavy trucks and some machines may need an adapter or an additional check.

What can I see in Allokit?

You can review position, trips, stops, speed and distances travelled. Depending on the vehicle, you may also get data such as mileage, engine hours, fuel, battery voltage and fault codes.

Does the GPS work without OBD data?

Yes. The unit has its own GPS positioning and its own cellular connection. It can report its position even if the vehicle provides no compatible engine data.

Is it compatible with machinery?

Some machines have a port that can power the unit. We need to check the connector, its wiring and its power supply. The engine data available may vary or be absent entirely.

Does the position update automatically?

Yes. The unit records and reports its positions according to the settings configured and the network coverage available.

How are Bluetooth tools detected?

The GPS looks for compatible Bluetooth trackers nearby. When it finds one, Allokit attaches the detection to the tool and the vehicle involved.

Can I manage several types of vehicles?

Yes. Pickups, vans, heavy trucks and some machines can all appear in the same Allokit fleet when their installation is compatible.
