Track Every Van in Real Time
When you manage a fleet of vans across multiple job sites, knowing where every vehicle is at any given moment changes how you run your day. Ctrack vehicle tracking gives you live GPS positions for each van, updated in real time on a single dashboard.
View trip history to verify which jobs were attended and how long your team spent on site. Set up geofences around customer locations and receive automatic notifications when vans arrive or depart. This gives your office staff proof of attendance for billing and customer queries without calling drivers mid-job.
Give customers accurate ETAs based on real vehicle positions rather than estimates. When a customer calls asking where their technician is, your team has an answer in seconds. The system also flags vehicles running behind schedule so dispatchers can proactively manage delays.
Smarter Job Dispatch
Sending the closest available van to each job sounds simple, but without live location data it is guesswork. Ctrack shows you exactly which vans are available, where they are, and how far they are from the next job. Dispatch decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.
Route optimisation reduces windscreen time between jobs. For trades businesses running 10 or more vans, cutting 15 minutes of unnecessary driving per job adds up to hours of productive time reclaimed each week. That means more jobs completed per day with the same number of vehicles.
Drivers receive job assignments through the Ctrack mobile app, including optimised directions. When urgent callouts come in, dispatchers reassign the nearest van without radio calls or phone tag. The result is faster response times and fewer missed appointment windows.
Reduce Fleet Operating Costs
Fuel, maintenance, and insurance are the three biggest costs for light commercial fleets. Van tracking addresses all three. Fuel management reporting identifies excessive idling, inefficient routes, and harsh driving that burns fuel. Fleets typically see 10-15% fuel savings within the first few months.
Driver behaviour monitoring scores each driver on acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed. Coaching the bottom 20% of drivers typically brings the biggest safety improvements and reduces wear on vehicles. Maintenance scheduling based on actual odometer readings and engine hours prevents both over-servicing and missed services.
After-hours alerts detect unauthorised vehicle use, protecting against fuel theft and excess wear. For field service operators, FBT electronic logbook support automates the record-keeping that ATO audits require. GPS data separates business and private use without drivers manually filling in paper logbooks.

Benefits of Van Tracking
GPS tracking gives light commercial fleet operators the tools to improve customer service, complete more jobs, and control costs. Here are the four primary benefits.
Accurate ETAs, proof of attendance, and faster response times. Customers get real arrival windows instead of four-hour time slots. Dispatchers see live positions and can update customers proactively.
Dispatch the closest van. Optimise multi-stop routes. Reduce windscreen time between jobs. More jobs completed per day with the same number of vehicles and drivers.
10-15% fuel savings from route optimisation and idle reduction. Maintenance scheduling prevents costly breakdowns. After-hours alerts detect unauthorised vehicle use.
Driver behaviour scoring identifies unsafe habits. Driver ID confirms who is operating each van. GPS records settle disputes about job attendance and working hours.
