Followapp Vehicle and Mobile GPS Monitoring

Well, the problem we first wanted to solve was knowing where the cars were, knowing what the cars were doing, knowing what tricks they were pulling on me. And maybe, at the end or the start of the day, having an idea, since we're a car service company, of where the cars are, so we know how to dispatch them. Actually… how can I explain it? I knew everything, but I couldn't prove it. You know what I mean? That they were joyriding, slacking off, using the cars for themselves. The thing is, now I can tell them, like the character from The Simpsons: “Ha! Gotcha!”

—What's the main problem you solved by bringing in Followapp? —We're a transport company and travel agency, and we do a lot of school trips. That's our main income all year round. So what happens? Every school trip has a series of time slots and visits to keep. The office follows every trip: if something is suddenly delayed, if there's traffic… Now we can know in real time where they are. If a museum calls us, or the coordinators tell us “hey, look, we're running late”, we can log in and see right away where they are, estimate how long until they arrive, and let people know the moment the bus is pulling up at the door.

This app in particular is extremely useful to me because you can set mileage limits, and in case of any misconduct, whether by the driver or an incident that happens, whether it's force majeure or something random, like crime nowadays, you can use the engine cut-off. I bought that product too, I found it quite practical, and in fact I already used it last week, in an incident here in San Juan. They contacted me urgently, I cut off the engine right away and it gave me very good results. Then I sent a tow truck to pick up the vehicle and bring it to my place. It's a very, very useful app, because it helps you look after the vehicle one hundred percent. It's not just satellite tracking to know where the vehicle is. No, no, no: it's much more than that.
