iComm Tracking

Knowing where the vans are

Tracking supplied, fitted and run on software we wrote ourselves — for fleets of one van or thirty, and for the jobs, the mileage, the insurance, and the argument about whether anyone was there at ten past three.

Have a look before you ring

There is no sales script here and no form to fill in first. The demo below is the real system running on invented vehicles, so you can decide whether you like it in about two minutes.

The live demo →
Eight vehicles on the map — moving, idling, parked and one offline since this morning. Made-up data, clearly labelled, nothing to sign up for.

What people actually use it for

Proving the visit
A customer says nobody came. The record says otherwise, with a time.
Mileage without the paperwork
Business mileage recorded automatically, which HMRC prefers and your drivers will not miss doing by hand.
The nearest van
An urgent job and six vehicles out. Send the one that is actually closest.
Recovery
A stolen vehicle with a tracker in it is a very different insurance conversation.

Where everything is

Live map
Where every vehicle is now, how fast, and how long ago it last reported. Search by registration, label or IMEI.
Trips and replay
Every journey, with stops, speeds and the route — and a replay, for the history that settles the argument weeks later.
Geofences
Draw a line round the yard, a site or a customer, and know about arrivals and departures.
Alerts
Speeding, leaving a place, use out of hours. Told when something happens, on screen and by email, rather than finding out when you next look.
Tools
A Bluetooth tag on each tool shows which van has it, and tells you when a van drives off without one.
Phones as well
Where there is nothing to fit a tracker to, a person can be shown on the map by their phone, with their agreement.

Running the day

Jobs and “on my way” texts
Book the visit, send the nearest van, and text the customer a live map of it coming. Fewer “where are you?” calls, and proof of when the van arrived and left.
Route planner
Put the drops in an order that makes sense and send it to the driver before the van leaves.
Timesheets
Each driver’s start, finish, hours and overtime, worked out from the tracker, corrected where needed and approved for payroll.
Ask iComm AI
Ask about your fleet in plain English — “which van did the most miles last week?” — and get a written summary every Monday.

Keeping vans and drivers legal

Daily van checks
A QR code in each van opens the walk-round check on the driver’s phone. Defects, with photos, come straight to the office.
Driving licence checks
A record of each DVLA licence check, points and photocard date, with reminders when the next check is due.
Servicing, MOT and tax
Service plans by miles or months, the dates that matter, and reminders before anything runs out.
Vehicle documents
Insurance and MOT certificates and repair invoices kept with the vehicle, where everyone can find them.

Spending less

Fuel card checks
Upload the statement and every fill is checked against where the van actually was — fills it was nowhere near, more than the tank holds, and each van’s real mpg.
Road charges
Dartford, the Mersey and Tyne crossings, the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and Clean Air Zones: what is owed and by when, before it becomes a fine.
Reports
Miles, driving time, idling and fuel for any dates, to read or download for the accountant or the insurer.
Driving scores
Who drives which vehicle, and how each driver is doing.
Could it go electric?
Each van’s real driving against what an electric one of the same size can do, where it would charge, and what it would save.
Carbon report
The fleet’s CO2e month by month and van by van, using the government’s conversion factors — the page a tender or a big customer’s questionnaire asks for.

If a van is stolen

Ring the police, then mark it stolen. The tracker reports every ten seconds instead of every thirty, privacy hours stop hiding it, and you can give the police a live link to follow. With an immobiliser fitted, it can be stopped from restarting — only once it has slowed to walking pace, so nobody is stranded at speed. The immobiliser is an extra; ask and we will price it for the vehicle.

What it costs

Printed here because we know it, and a business with eleven vans should not have to sit through a call to find out whether we are in the right range.

It is our software, not a badge on somebody else's

Most firms selling tracking locally are reselling a platform built elsewhere, which is why the answer to "can it show me X?" is usually no. We wrote this one, we run it, and we are in Northampton — so that question goes to the people who can actually change the screen. Most of what is on this page was added because a customer asked for it. It is the same reason the prices, the booking and the postcode checker on this website all run on software we built: we would rather own the thing than rent it.

Fitting

Hard-wired units fitted properly and out of sight — about half an hour a vehicle, at your premises, so nothing has to come off the road for a day. Plug-in units where a vehicle is leased and you would rather not touch the loom. We will tell you which suits, and it is not always the more expensive one.

Not only vans

The thing that goes missing is often not the vehicle. Trailers, mini diggers, generators and a van's worth of tools can all be tracked, and the kit is different: an asset tracker runs on its own battery and holds on with a magnet rather than being wired in, so it reports where it is every so often rather than continuously. That is the trade for a battery that lasts, and for most people it is the right one — the alarm that matters is a line drawn round the yard telling you something crossed it at two in the morning. What it costs depends on the kit and how often you need to hear from it, so ring and tell us what you want watching.

Your drivers should know

Tracking employees' vehicles is monitoring people, and the law treats it that way. Tell your drivers, put it in writing, and switch tracking off for private use where a vehicle is also personal — the system has privacy hours for exactly that, and an activity log of who looked at what. It is not an obstacle — it just needs doing, and we would rather say so now than have you find out from an employment tribunal.

Tell us how many vehicles

We will come and look at them, tell you what fitting them costs, and leave you with the figures in writing. About three quarters of an hour, and no charge for it.
