iSpot allows you access to your Spoton account to see the location and movements of your vehicles and workforce. Spoton requires a GPS tracking device installed in your vehicles. Real-time movements are passed to a central server providing a permanent record of all movements and customers visited. iSpot provides visibility of this information. If your phone has a GPS receiver then it may also be used to record the movements of the phone to allow your colleagues to know where you are and have been. iSpot requires a Spoton user account. Please contact ispot@spotontracking.com. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
