Hunter Track is a GPS monitoring platform designed to cover every aspect of vehicle operation. To achieve this, its alert system works as a highly effective way to manage information.
This is how we optimize the management of any vehicle fleet and protect drivers, occupants and cargo. How do the alerts work? Below we explain what they are and how they get the job done.
Alerts are notifications that an event has occurred. Their purpose is to get the recipient's attention so they can take action or a precaution.
To receive an alert on the Hunter Track platform, you configure the system to specify when and how you want to receive it. This is done by filling in information fields.
When a fleet vehicle is out on a route, it's exposed to many internal and external situations, and distance makes supervision difficult. That's why alerts have become one of the best methods for fleet supervision and management.
A fleet manager can get real-time, completely accurate information about what's happening inside and around the vehicle.
Best of all, alerts can be customized, meaning they're sent to the people specified on the platform, with the information limits you set.
Many alerts relate to conditions that can only be detected by sensors or other detection mechanisms. Examples include temperature, mileage, door openings, etc. That's why Hunter Track includes the different types of alerts described below.
These alerts let you monitor drivers' habits. Besides receiving them in real time, you can also generate a report detailing where along the route they occurred.
As a result, the fleet manager can correct drivers' habits or detect other situations that trigger these alerts.
Speed is a decisive factor in how well fleet vehicles perform. First, keeping it within reasonable limits saves fuel.
Speed must also stay within the limits required by traffic laws. Finally, speed control prevents accidents or reduces their severity when they happen. Hunter Track makes sure the system sends alerts for different speed ranges.
Door activity alerts are generated by magnetic sensors that react when a door opens or closes. These alarms are especially useful for refrigerated cargo doors or cash-in-transit vehicles because of the sensitivity of their contents.
In any case, when the alert is received, the driver can be warned to correct the situation. And in the event of an unauthorized opening attempt, the necessary measures can be taken to protect the cargo and the vehicle's other occupants.
Temperature alerts are particularly necessary when transporting food or materials, some of which need specific temperature levels to stay in good condition during transport.
With Hunter Track, you can get an alert and also receive a report showing every temperature variation throughout the trip. This way, the fleet manager can certify the condition of the cargo at delivery.
Maintenance alerts notify you when part of the vehicle needs service, based on mileage or the number of hours the vehicle has been in operation.
Either way, this type of alert helps keep the vehicle running well and extends its life.
With Hunter Track, you can set up Geofences: zones where the vehicle can travel freely, but which trigger an alert if crossed.
This way, the fleet manager can quickly determine whether a driver is operating outside the permitted geographic limits. If so, the driver may be wasting fuel or delaying delivery to the end customer.
In short, alerts help optimize vehicle fleet management by providing immediate, real-time information about conditions that would otherwise be very hard to detect. Technology plays a key role here through sensors, web platforms and more.
