Frequently Asked Questions

How do technicians feel about tracking?

Most technicians appreciate it once they understand it protects them too - providing evidence they were at job sites and weren't speeding.

Can I track which technician visited which customer?

Yes. Assign technicians to vehicles, and all geofence visits are attributed to them.

How accurate is the arrival time detection?

With properly sized geofences (50-100m), accuracy is excellent. GPS updates every 10-30 seconds when moving.

Can this replace our dispatching software?

Yipii IoT complements dispatching software by adding real-time visibility. Many customers integrate via API.

What if a technician visits a location not in the system?

All positions are recorded. You can add geofences retroactively and the system will show past visits.
