Your First 24 Hours
Congratulations on setting up Traxelio! Your first day should focus on getting comfortable with the basics. Here is what to prioritize:
Verify all your vehicles appear on the map and show correct locations
Download the Traxelio mobile app on your phone
Take a test drive and confirm trip history is recording
Set up your first speed alert (start with your most used speed limit)
Explore the main dashboard to understand what data is available
Verify Your Installation
Before configuring alerts and reports, confirm your tracker is installed correctly. Traxelio includes built-in installation checks that both you and your technician can use to verify the setup. Open your device page to schedule a check or run through the verification yourself.
Tracker appears online and connected to the server
GPS location matches where the vehicle is actually parked
Ignition detection responds when engine is started (hardwired installs)
Trip history records correctly after a short test drive
If anything fails, schedule a technician visit directly from the app
Setting Up Alerts
Alerts are one of the most powerful features of fleet tracking. They notify you when something important happens so you do not have to watch the screen constantly:
Speed Alerts
Get notified when a vehicle exceeds a set speed. Great for safety and compliance.
Geofence Alerts
Know when vehicles enter or leave important locations like job sites or restricted areas.
Idle Alerts
Detect when vehicles are running but not moving, wasting fuel.
Curfew Alerts
Get alerts for vehicle movement outside of working hours.
Low Battery Alerts
Get warned when a vehicle battery drops below a safe level, so you can act before the tracker goes offline.
Power Cut Alerts
Receive instant notification if someone disconnects or cuts power to a tracker, a common sign of theft.
Adding Your Team
If you have team members who need access to tracking data, you can add them with different permission levels:
Admin: Full access to all features, settings, and billing
Manager: Can view all vehicles, run reports, and manage alerts
Driver: Can only view their assigned vehicle and personal trips
Viewer: Read-only access to vehicle locations and history
Understanding Your Dashboard
Your dashboard provides a quick overview of your fleet status. Here are the key metrics to pay attention to:
Vehicle Status: See how many vehicles are moving, stopped, or offline
Today Trips: Total trips completed across your fleet today
Total Distance: Kilometers driven by all vehicles today
Active Alerts: Any alerts that need your attention
Top Drivers: Performance scores for your team
First Week Goals
By the end of your first week, aim to achieve these quick wins that demonstrate the value of fleet tracking:
Create at least one geofence around an important location
Run your first activity report to see vehicle usage patterns
Identify one vehicle with high idle time or inefficient routing
Set up push notifications on your mobile app
Share access with at least one team member if applicable
30-Day Optimization
After your first month, you will have enough data to start making real improvements to your fleet operations:
Review driver behavior scores and coach underperformers
Analyze route patterns to identify optimization opportunities
Set up maintenance reminders based on actual mileage
Compare fuel consumption across vehicles
Schedule automatic email reports so weekly summaries land in your inbox
Organize vehicle documents (insurance, registration, inspection) in one place
Track fleet expenses and cash flow to spot cost trends early
Share device access with specific people who only need to see certain vehicles
Fine-tune alert thresholds based on your experience
