Ultimer Client

Features
Read full description

Ultimer Go turns your phone into a live dashboard for the truck you drive. Pair it once with the PT30 telematics device installed in your vehicle and Ultimer Go reads engine, GPS and diagnostic data straight over Bluetooth — then keeps your fleet office up to date automatically, so you never have to call in numbers or fill out a form. WHAT YOU SEE Dashboard — Live speed, RPM, gear and engine load, with coolant and oil temperature, oil pressure, fuel level and DEF level, plus intake, turbo and transmission readings. Color-coded, so a problem is obvious at a glance. Trip — Your current trip in real time: distance, duration, average speed and fuel economy, alongside coordinates, heading and satellite status. Open your position in Maps with a single tap. Health — Automatic fault checks. Active diagnostic trouble codes are decoded into plain language with the affected system, how many times each code was seen, and the full technical detail when you need it. Check-engine status is always on screen. Settings — Connection status, reconnect to your last truck, unit preferences, cloud sync state, and diagnostic tools including raw frame view, share log and clear data. BUILT FOR DRIVERS • Connect once, then reconnect automatically every time you get back in the cab • Keeps working in the background, so telemetry keeps flowing while you drive • Readings and trips upload securely to your fleet under your own account • Sign in once — your session is kept in encrypted storage on the device • Clean, high-contrast layout designed to be read at a glance in a moving vehicle REQUIREMENTS Ultimer Go is a companion app for fleets running on the Ultimer platform. To use it you need: • Driver credentials issued by your fleet • A PT30 telematics device installed in the vehicle • Bluetooth enabled on your iPhone Without an account and a paired device the app cannot display data. If you drive for a fleet that uses Ultimer and don't have credentials yet, ask your fleet manager. Fleet managers can follow the whole fleet from Ultimer Fleet, the companion console app.
