Your First 24 Hours
The first day is not about configuring every feature. Confirm that the vehicles report correctly, the right people can access the account, and the first alerts match how your fleet works.
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)
Open the dashboard and identify the status fields your team will check every day
Verify Your Installation
Before configuring alerts and reports, confirm the tracker is installed correctly. Traxelio installation checks help the owner and technician verify the same device, vehicle, appointment, status, and notes.
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 from the app
Setting Up Alerts
Alerts should protect attention. Start with the events that require a manager to act, then tune thresholds after a few days of vehicle history.
Speed Alerts
Get notified when a vehicle exceeds a speed threshold you set for that fleet.
Geofence Alerts
Know when vehicles enter or leave yards, job sites, cities, or restricted areas.
Idle Alerts
Detect when vehicles are running but not moving so you can review waste or driver habits.
Curfew Alerts
Get alerts for vehicle movement outside the hours you define.
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 a notification if someone disconnects or cuts power to a tracker.
Adding Your Team
Give each person the smallest access level that matches their job. That keeps billing, settings, and vehicle visibility under control.
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
The dashboard should become the daily starting point. Use it to separate vehicles that are moving, stopped, offline, overdue for attention, or generating alerts.
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 the first week, turn raw tracking into a repeatable operating habit.
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 the first month, you should have enough trips, alerts, and vehicle history to tune the setup instead of guessing.
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
