How can Track My Ride help you?
- Easy Installation: Getting started with Track My Ride is a breeze. Your team members can quickly download and install our user-friendly app from the app store on their mobile phones, regardless of whether they use Android or iOS devices.
- Precise Tracking: Our advanced GPS technology ensures pinpoint accuracy, targeting a new location every 10 metres of movement. This provides you with detailed insights into your team’s whereabouts, allowing you to monitor their progress and identify any potential issues or delays.
- Vehicle Association: Our mobile tracking app takes workforce management to the next level by allowing team members to choose the vehicle they are driving. This innovative feature enables you to track both individual movements and vehicle journeys separately, providing a comprehensive overview of your operations.
- Efficient Data Upload: To optimise battery life and data usage, the app intelligently uploads the recorded locations to our secure servers when it has stored 200 points or when the phone has been stationary for 10 minutes. This ensures you have access to up-to-date information without compromising your team members’ device performance.
- Flexible Tracking Frequency: Every business has different requirements. That’s why we offer flexible tracking frequency options, allowing users to adjust the frequency of location updates to suit their specific needs. Whether you need updates every 200 points or as often as every single point, Track My Ride has you covered.
- Set a Tracking Schedule: You have the flexibility to set up custom tracking schedules that align perfectly with your business hours. TMR allows you to define your work hours, such as Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM, and automatically start and stop mobile tracking during those specified times. Outside of your designated business hours, the tracking feature will automatically turn off, ensuring your team members’ privacy is respected and battery life is preserved when they’re off the clock.
Key benefits for your business
- Enhanced Productivity: With Track My Ride, you can monitor your team’s movements in real-time, identifying any inefficiencies or bottlenecks in their routes or schedule. By optimising their paths and reducing downtime, you can boost productivity and ensure your mobile workforce is always operating at peak efficiency.
- Improved Safety: The safety of your team members is paramount. Our mobile tracking app includes a built-in panic button, allowing your employees to quickly notify their colleagues if they find themselves in a dangerous or distressing situation. This feature enables rapid response and support, giving you peace of mind knowing that your team is protected while out in the field.
- Comprehensive Reporting: Track My Ride offers a powerful reporting system that allows you to analyse tracking data and gain valuable insights into your team’s performance. From identifying trends and patterns to measuring key performance indicators (KPIs), our reporting tools provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions and drive continuous improvement.
- Geofencing Capabilities: With our geofencing technology, you can set up virtual boundaries around specific locations, such as job sites, restricted areas, or customer premises. Receive instant alerts when team members enter or exit these designated geozones, helping you maintain security, compliance, and accountability across your mobile workforce.
- Customisable Tracking Schedules: We recognise that not all businesses operate on the same schedule. Track My Ride allows you to set up automatic start and stop times for mobile tracking based on your specific business hours. This ensures you only track your team when necessary, respecting their privacy and maintaining trust within your organisation.
- Battery-Friendly: We’ve designed our mobile tracking app with battery efficiency in mind. By intelligently balancing tracking frequency and battery usage, our app typically consumes only 5% of the phone’s battery per hour. This means your team members can rely on their devices throughout the day without worrying about running out of power.

No, you don't need a special phone or mobile plan. Our mobile tracking app works on most modern smartphones running iOS or Android operating systems. However, you will need a mobile data plan or Wi-Fi connection to enable real-time location tracking and data syncing with our system.
Mobile tracking does consume some battery power, as it uses your phone's GPS and mobile data to transmit location information. However, our app is optimised to minimise battery consumption. You can also adjust the tracking frequency settings within the app to find the right balance between tracking accuracy and battery life.
The biggest source of power drain on a mobile phone is the upload frequency, sending the recorded points back to our servers. You can adjust this value in the TMR app for each mobile tracked phone individually. The default upload interval is set to 200 points, or when stopped for 10 minutes.
The more frequent the upload interval, the more real-time your tracking data will be, at the expense of more power use on the mobile phone.
On our default settings, with a modern smart phone our users typically see about 5% battery usage per hour they were continuously moving.
When you are stationary longer than 10 minutes, the tracking is paused and does not use any battery power. You can also setup a schedule of hours of operation if you only need tracking to start during certain hours of the day.
Yes, we take data security and privacy very seriously. All location data transmitted through our mobile tracking app is encrypted and stored securely on our servers. We adhere to strict data protection protocols and industry standards to ensure that your information remains confidential and is only accessible to yourself and authorised users within your account.
Mobile tracking can be used for various purposes, including employee monitoring and family safety. However, it's crucial to obtain explicit consent from the individuals being tracked and ensure compliance with local laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection. We recommend consulting with legal professionals to ensure the appropriate use of mobile tracking in your specific context.
We do not support or condone covert tracking, and it is against our Terms and Conditions of service.

Mobile tracking relies on mobile data or Wi-Fi connectivity to transmit your recorded locations back to our servers so it can be displayed in your account on the map.
In areas with poor mobile coverage, the tracking updates may be less frequent but the recorded location accuracy will be unaffected. Our app is designed to store location data locally on the phone when a connection is unavailable and sync it with our system automatically once a connection is restored.
