Many businesses have made the move to remote working during the current global crisis. Thankfully, the Quartix system can be accessed from any internet-connected device and a mobile app, meaning customers already have the necessary tools to see their vehicle tracking<\/a> data wherever they are, without any disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019ve run into any issues or you haven\u2019t had a chance to take full advantage of the system until now, here are some tips for getting yourself and your employees set up to monitor your vehicles from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logging on to the system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working from home can often mean using a different computer than you would in your regular office or workspace. If your Quartix login was saved on another computer and you are having trouble accessing the system, it\u2019s easy to reset your password. You can request a password reset link be emailed to you by selecting ‘I forgot my password’ under the ‘Sign in’ section<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When selected, you will be prompted to enter your Subscriber ID and E-mail address linked to your login details. Once you\u2019ve completed the form, look out for an email from support@quartix.net<\/a> with a reset link and some simple instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quartix passwords are case sensitive<\/strong>, so be careful to enter it correctly to avoid being locked out of the system. If that has happened, just send a quick email to systemssupport@quartix.net<\/a> and we can assist you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Setting up a new user<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your employees are now working from home or self-isolating and need to access the Quartix system, it\u2019s easy to get them set up with their own login information. Quartix administrators can create additional login details online while maintaining full control over what each user can see, and which vehicle tracking reports<\/a> they can access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When logged in with your administration login details, simply select Configuration > Users. You will be shown your user summary screen which lists all of your current usernames, recovery emails, and reports. To add a new account, click on the + symbols shown alongside the search box in the top right of the page. You will then be taken to the ‘Edit user’ page where you can start adding in your new user information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up geofencing alerts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With changes to work schedules and delivery routes, it\u2019s more important than ever to know exactly where your vehicles are and be alerted if they aren\u2019t where they should be. Quartix\u2019s geofencing feature allows you to establish zones and time periods where your vehicles must be or must not be and sends you an email or text message when those rules are broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if your employees are responsible for company vehicles and are working from home, you can set a geofence around the area and receive an alert if the vehicle is moved during hours you set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
