GPS Vehicle Routing is an add-on function for FieldOne, requiring the Professional Edition (http://www.fieldone.com/pricing.htm). The GPS feature embedded into the software will provide your business with an exceptional vehicle tracking, mapping and fleet management solution.

If you enable GPS, refer also to Warehouses and Trucks, where you enter the GPS identification for Employee Trucks, and also to Company Preferences, GPS Settings Tab, where you enter your setup information.

FieldOne Systems, LLC. has partnered up with Fleetilla (http://www.fleetilla.com/), a leader in the GPS Tracking industry - with more than 30 years of experience in the trucking industry. Fleetilla has extensive fleet management experience employing top-of-the-line technologies.
