Your Challenge
When service calls change, your fleet needs clear answers
A water-main break, power outage or urgent gas-network inspection can change an entire crew schedule. So dispatchers need to know which vehicle is available, which team is already nearby and when a service truck reached a site. Across large service territories, extra miles, idling and breakdowns, increase operating costs. Quartix brings vehicle location and driving data into one view so fleet and operations managers can make better-informed decisions.
Vehicle tracking supports utility dispatch and service records (it does not detect leaks, restore power, assign work orders automatically or prove that a repair was completed)
Why Quartix?
Leading the way
• Locate vehicles and respond to changing priorities. See the latest reported location and activity of field vans and trucks, including from a smartphone.
• Confirm site arrivals and time on location. Review daily driver logs, trip history, start and finish times and stops to support job records and customer queries.
• Create site and depot boundaries. Set geofences around substations, plants, treatment sites, yards and frequently visited locations; configure entry and exit alerts.
• Help drivers stay safer. Review speeding, harsh acceleration and hard-braking trends to guide coaching and reduce avoidable wear.
• Keep inspections and maintenance visible. Set service-date reminders and use Quartix Check, where subscribed, to record vehicle inspections and defects.
• Know who drove a shared vehicle. Optional Driver ID associates trip activity with individual drivers when crews share trucks or vans.
• Review results without chasing spreadsheets. Schedule reports for miles, trips, activity and driving trends; check the fleet from the mobile app.
