Know Where Your Utes Are, and Who Took Them
Vehicle tracking built for trade fleets. Live location on every ute, an alert the moment one moves after hours, and a record of which job each vehicle was on. $22 per vehicle per month, no lock-in.
A Ute Goes Missing and You Find Out on Monday
Your vehicles carry most of your working capital. Tools in the back, a wrapped ute worth thirty grand, and an apprentice who might be at the supplier or might be somewhere else entirely. You find out after the fact, if at all.
- Utes stolen overnight from the yard or the driveway
- No idea a vehicle moved until someone notices it gone
- Arguments about which job a vehicle was on, and for how long
- Customers ringing to ask why nobody turned up
- Fuel and hours going somewhere you cannot account for
Live Tracking, and an Alert When It Matters
Every vehicle on one screen, updating as it moves. If a ute starts up at 11pm on a Saturday, your phone buzzes at 11:01.
- Live location on every ute and van, updated every 5 seconds
- Theft alerts when a unit loses power or a vehicle is towed
- After-hours movement alerts, any time of day or night
- Trip history showing which job, what time, how long
- Australian support on the phone, not a ticket queue
How It Works
Fitted in under an hour, useful the same day
We Fit the Unit
A GPS unit goes into each vehicle, hidden and hardwired. Once-off $285 per vehicle and you own it outright.
You Get a Login
Web and mobile app. Every vehicle on one map, live, with trip history you can scroll back through.
Alerts Find You
Set the alerts that matter and get on with the job. Movement after hours, a unit losing power, a vehicle leaving a site.
What Trade Fleets Actually Use
The features that earn their keep on a ute, not a spec sheet
Theft and Tamper Alerts
If a unit loses power or a vehicle is towed, you know straight away. Live location gives police something to act on.
After-Hours Movement
Ignition and movement notifications fire in real time, any hour of the day. A ute moving at 11pm Saturday buzzes your phone at 11:01.
Proof of Which Job
Trip history shows where each vehicle was, when it arrived and how long it stayed. Settles the invoice argument in seconds.
Site Arrival and Departure
Mark the yard, the depot or a regular site. Get told when a vehicle turns up or leaves.
Track the Trailer Too
Trailers, plant and toolboxes go on the asset register at $11 per asset per month, with no GPS unit needed.
Pre-Starts If You Need Them
Add the Pre-Start app for $11 per vehicle per month when a builder or principal contractor asks for inspection records.
Ute Theft in Victoria Is at a 21-Year High
This is not a scare campaign. It is the ABS number, and it is why theft alerts sell themselves in this trade.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics recorded 22,504 victims of motor vehicle theft in Victoria in 2024, up 41% in a single year and the highest number since 2003. More than two in five stolen vehicles were taken from a home or residential land, which is where most trade utes sit overnight.
A tracker does not stop a theft. What it does is tell you it happened while the vehicle is still moving, and give police a live location instead of a description. That is the difference between a written-off ute and a recovered one.
- Power-cut alert. Thieves often pull the battery first. You get told when the unit loses power.
- Tow detection. Movement without ignition looks different, and it raises an alarm.
- Live location for police. A moving map is something they can act on tonight.
- Insurers and AirTags. A consumer tag in the glovebox is not a monitored tracking system, and it is not treated as one.
