A truck's position is a fact. Most shops still track it by asking.
Knowing where a crew's trucks actually are, and whether they made it to the job site on time, usually means calling or texting to ask. For a shop running more than a couple of trucks, that doesn't scale, and it puts the office in the position of trusting a tech's memory of when they arrived and left.
SolarProjeX makes fleet tracking optional, not required — the rest of the platform works exactly the same without it. For shops that do run company trucks, connecting the fleet turns every truck into a live unit of work: GPS position on the dispatch map, and an active window logged automatically from the truck's first start to its last stop each day — real truck-hours for overhead and utilization, not a payroll punch clock.
What it does, point by point
- Live truck positions on the dispatch map
- Geofenced active window logged automatically, first start to last stop
- Daily truck cards: start/end time, distance, hours
- Driver assignment by name — auto-matched, manually overridable
- Feeds real truck-hours into overhead and utilization reporting
- Integrates with Geotab; fleet features are an optional add-on, not required to use the platform
