Always stay up to date!

Dear Customers,

Another year is drawing to a close—a year that was once again marked by changes and challenges. But in times of change, one thing remains constant: GPSoverIP’s innovative spirit and relentless progress.

2023 was a year of continued international growth for us. This expansion underscores our ambition to operate across borders and offer global solutions.

We have made significant progress in the area of product development. The GPSauge OBD has established itself on the market, and our GPSauge mobile app has undergone continuous development, including the release of GPSauge TAB in October. These achievements were capped off by our second consecutive win of the 2024 German Telematics Award—a sign that you’ve chosen the right partner in GPSoverIP.

During this festive season, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your trust and loyalty. Your feedback and support are what drive and inspire us. We look to the future with confidence and look forward to continuing to be your partner for innovative telematics solutions in the coming year.

We wish you, your family, and your colleagues a peaceful Christmas, a Happy New Year, and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration.

With warm regards,
Your GPSoverIP Team

This award confirms our role as an innovation leader in the field of telematics. The German Telematics Award stands for high standards and rigorous evaluation criteria. Products are not only assessed theoretically but also tested under real-world operating conditions. This detailed and practical evaluation by an experienced jury of experts from DEKRA and other specialized fields ensures that only the best telematics solutions are recognized.
GPSoverIP’s repeated
success at these prestigious awards builds on previous honors in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021 and reflects the company’s commitment to continuous innovation and customer focus. GPSoverIP GmbH is proud that its solutions deliver real added value for its customers in practice.

André Jurleit, Managing Director of GPSoverIP GmbH, emphasized the significance of this recognition: “We are extremely pleased about this latest award and would like to thank the jury for their comprehensive evaluation, as well as our valued customers for their continued trust. Their feedback and support are crucial to our success.”

GPSoverIP remains committed to continuing on this path of innovation and excellence and to supporting our customers with field-proven, high-quality telematics solutions well into the future.

We are pleased to introduce an exciting new feature as part of our general update for the GPSoverIP fleet management portal: the comprehensive weekly report. This feature, a combination of advanced telematics and intuitive data analysis, is now available to all users.

Personalized Insights into Your Fleet—Delivered Directly to Your Inbox
Every Week To take advantage of this innovative service, all it takes is a simple setting: Save your email address in GPS Explorer under “Settings” to automatically receive the weekly report. This analysis provides you with precise insights into your drivers’ driving behavior and the condition of your vehicles.

Key Metrics for Precise Fleet Analysis
The report focuses on essential metrics such as retarder activity, RPM, vehicle weight, fuel consumption, elevation gain and distance traveled, G-forces, differentiation between local and long-haul traffic, as well as speed profiles and braking behavior. Our goal is to provide you not only with data but also with valuable insights by aggregating this information, calculating averages, and highlighting peak values.

Exclusive Ranking System for Vehicles and Drivers
Another highlight is our ranking system, which is generated based on this diverse data. It provides you with valuable insight into your fleet’s performance, both in local and long-haul operations.

Flexible Access and Download Option
In addition to automatically receiving the report every Monday, you can also view and download the weekly reports in the new download section of our GPS Explorer. Simply look for the download icon in the header.

Continuity and Support
Of course, you can still manually analyze telemetry data via FMS/CAN/OBD analysis, which is based on the same data source. If you have specific requirements or if a particular report metric is missing, our dedicated GPSoverIP Customer Support team is here to assist you.

We are proud to offer this comprehensive, weekly insight into your fleet performance (including mixed fleets, of course) and look forward to supporting you in your ongoing optimization efforts.

As part of our latest general update, we would like to inform you about important enhancements to our web-based fleet management portal. These updates are part of our ongoing efforts to provide you with a more powerful and user-friendly tool.

Address-Based Route View: New Perspectives in Fleet Tracking
A key feature of this update is the introduction of an address-based route view. This feature allows for detailed and precise tracking of your vehicles’ routes.

Improved Display of Driving and Rest
Times We have enhanced the display and analysis of driving and rest times as well as working hours. The weekly timeline view now offers a more detailed overview, enabling you to effectively monitor compliance with labor laws. This feature has been specifically tailored to the needs of various industries and can be toggled on or off and configured in the view according to your requirements.

Technological improvements in the backend
The update also includes significant improvements in backend technology and algorithmic structures. These optimizations ensure faster and more accurate results in data processing.
Additional
enhancements and new features:

• Introduction of a new download section.
• Expanded mini-timelines in the DeviceList to display driving and rest times.
• Various new Timeline Timesheet modes.
• Improvements to the Timeline Date Picker for a more comprehensive daily overview.
• Option to fine-tune the radius for home zones.
• Improved tracking functions and new indicators.
• Detailed FMS statistics and violation lists.
• Optimizations in the order overview and communication.
• and much more.

We are confident that these new features in GPS-Explorer will further optimize your fleet management processes. If you have any questions or need additional information, our GPSoverIP Customer Support Team is happy to assist you.

The general update will be automatically installed on December 14, 2023. No action is required on your part.

In our latest general update to GPS Explorer, we are pleased to introduce an innovative feature: the address-based lane view. This feature expands the traditional lane display with an additional, detailed layer that provides you with deeper insights into your fleet’s activities.

Interactive and Intuitive Display
With the address-based route view, you can now select a view specifically focused on addresses in addition to the standard view. This view is particularly useful if you have stored important addresses—such as customer locations, branch offices, or gas stations—in GPS Explorer. In this view, the system shows you—both visually and in tabular form—whether and when your vehicles stopped at these specific locations.

Visual Highlighting and Color Legend
One of the standout features of this new view is the visual highlighting of stops. When a vehicle stops at an address stored in GPS Explorer, that stop is marked in green on the map. This gives you immediate clarity on whether and when a vehicle stopped at a known location. In addition, we use an intuitive color system to identify different activities: blue for breaks, yellow for fuel stops, and other colors for various activities. These color-coded markers allow you to see at a glance what happened at each location during the stop.

Advanced Insights for Your Fleet Management
This enhancement not only provides you with an improved overview of your vehicles’ routes and stops but also offers valuable insights into your drivers’ activities and behaviors. You can use it to efficiently analyze driving patterns, optimize schedules, and ultimately increase the efficiency of your entire fleet.

We are confident that this new feature in GPS Explorer will be an essential tool in your fleet management toolkit, and we look forward to seeing how it helps you manage your fleet operations with even greater precision.

Since October 2023, we have been offering the GPSauge TAB, a telematics solution that sets new standards in flexibility and functionality. This innovative device can be used both as a standalone telematics solution and in combination with the GPSauge MI6 or the GPSauge OBD, making it an ideal addition to your fleet management needs.

Portable, Versatile, and User-Friendly
The standout feature of the GPSauge TAB is its portability. It can be easily removed from the cab and used in various application scenarios. Thanks to a magnetic connector that docks with the base, attaching and removing the device is a breeze, which makes day-to-day use much easier.

Comprehensive Features for All Applications

GPSoverIP’s mobility portal, clickApoint, has also evolved with its latest update to meet the demands of a modern transportation and ride-sharing platform. Here are some highlights from the latest improvements and features:

Multilingual support and global accessibility:
clickApoint has expanded its multilingual capabilities to reach a broader global user base. With an automatic translator, listings and search queries are now translated even more accurately into various languages, facilitating international communication.

Improvements have also been made in this area of connectivity, which will be available to users in the future in the GPS Explorer as well as in clickApoint’s validated public API interfaces.

Comprehensive Integration of Various Exchange Functions:
clickApoint combines the functions of various industry-specific exchanges (such as freight, cargo space, and ride-sharing exchanges) on a single platform. The platform’s architecture has been expanded to support these diverse functions, with user-friendly modules created for different trades and options.

User-Friendly UI Design and Improved Search Algorithm: A new UI design has been introduced to enhance user guidance and usability. This includes color-coded categorization for different listings, such as rideshares and freight. In addition, the search algorithm has been optimized to improve the ranking and speed of search results​​.

Reminder feature for recurring listings: As part of the latest updates, the reminder feature for recurring listings has been improved and expanded. This feature automatically notifies users when their listings are about to expire, allowing them to extend or update them as needed​​.

“Just stop by if you have something to transport or are looking for a ride”—this invitation reflects clickApoint’s commitment to providing a central, efficient, and user-friendly platform for a wide range of transportation and ride-sharing needs.

In the world of modern fleet management, adaptability is the key to success. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the latest enhancements to our GPSauge Mobile app for Android and iOS. With these updates, we’re putting flexibility and control right in your hands.

A key new feature of the app is the digital and unlimited status functionality. This enhancement allows for the subcategorization of status information, generating a telemetry value when a status is submitted, which can now be used for a wide range of analyses in GPS-Explorer. Whether it’s monitoring vehicle conditions or specific activities such as “Passenger picked up with subcategory: Billing Rate 1 or 2.”

Another important feature is the ability to switch easily between vehicles. This improvement allows users to switch quickly and effortlessly between different vehicles in their fleet, which is invaluable, especially in dynamic operational environments.

GPSoverIP was named a "Top Company 2023" by the employer review site "kununu." But what exactly does this award mean, and what does it signify for our customers and employees?
The

The “Top Company 2023” award therefore means that GPSoverIP enjoys a strong reputation as an employer and receives very positive reviews from its own employees.

This award is a great honor for GPSoverIP and demonstrates that we value our employees not just as workers, but as valuable members of our team. We are committed to creating a positive work environment where every employee can develop their skills and talents.

We’ve already shared some updates in our newsletter, but there’s more news we’d like to share with you. An update is available for the GPSauge MI6, but it won’t be downloaded automatically. If you’re interested, you can download it manually.

Here’s a helpful tip for anyone looking to streamline data processing: By installing the High Level Driver (HLD) and using a connected card reader, you can now read driver cards directly in the office. The data is automatically recorded in GPS-Explorer, which significantly reduces administrative overhead.
In addition
, we’d like to draw your attention to an upcoming major update for the GPSauge IN. This update—the largest of its kind for the device—is scheduled for the first quarter of 2024. We are confident that it will offer many new and exciting features.

Finally, we would like to highlight the GPSauge mobile app, which is compatible with every GPSauge MI6 and even older devices.
