GPS Tracking System – Theft Protection, Logbook and Live Tracking for Businesses
GPS tracking systems today offer far more than a simple location display. A modern system like the one from Jumbo Ortung protects vehicles from theft, maintains the logbook automatically, identifies drivers with precision and gives dispatchers a real-time overview of the entire fleet – accurate to the metre, around the clock.
What Does a GPS Tracking System Do?
A GPS tracking system consists of three components: the GPS device installed in the vehicle, the mobile network for data transmission, and the Horizont Online Portal as the central evaluation platform. The vehicle's position is updated every 2 seconds and is accessible at any time via browser or smartphone app – from anywhere, even on the go.
Positioning accuracy is up to 2 metres. This means you know not only where a vehicle currently is, but also whether it is moving or stationary, how long it was at a particular location and which route it took.
Key Features at a Glance
Live Vehicle Tracking
All vehicles are displayed on a shared map in real time. The position updates every 2 seconds – including speed, direction of travel and ignition status. All driven routes are recorded in full and retrievable for up to 18 months.
Automatic Logbook with Driver Recognition
The logbook is kept automatically and tamper-proof. Every trip is recorded with date, time, start and end location and trip duration. Using the integrated driver recognition feature, each trip can be assigned to a specific driver – via QR code login in the driver app. Trips can be classified directly in the app as business, private or home-work. The logbook is compliant with tax authority requirements and printable at the click of a button.
Theft Protection and Alert Notifications
The GPS tracking system protects vehicles around the clock:
- Movement alert – instant notification if a vehicle moves outside registered operating hours
- Geofencing – alert when a vehicle enters or leaves a defined zone
- Tow-away alert – notification if the vehicle moves without the ignition being activated
- Ignition alert – optional notification on every ignition activation
- All alerts by email and app notification
In the event of theft, the exact location of the vehicle is immediately accessible in the Horizont Online Portal and can be passed directly to the relevant authorities.
Speed Monitoring and Driving Behaviour Analysis
Speed violations are automatically recorded and logged in the portal. For fleet operators, this is a valuable tool: driving behaviour can be analysed, fuel consumption reduced and accident risk lowered.
Fleet Overview and Vehicle Groups
Vehicles can be organised into freely defined groups in the Horizont Online Portal – by location, vehicle type or department. This keeps even large fleets manageable. Dispatchers see all vehicles at a glance, can optimise routes and communicate accurate delivery times to customers – without needing to call the driver.
