The transition to a sharing economy means a shift from 'ownership' to 'use'. Ownership of a vehicle is becoming less important for moving from one location to another. People do want to have access to suitable transport whenever they want. The number of shared vehicles is therefore growing rapidly. As an operator of a fleet of shared vehicles, you naturally want to have insight into their use and possible optimisation. By using the Tracefy system, you avoid administrative hassle and have insight into exactly what you want to know about your fleet at a glance.
Tracefy goes further than simply offering a GPS tracker: Tracefy offers an integrated solution. The data from the Tracefy GPS tracker can be read out in an online dashboard. Data such as location and trip data are processed in real time in the dashboard. The Tracefy system thus offers everything you need to manage your fleet effectively and efficiently. Tracefy is reliable because of the high quality and widely deployable, because the GPS unit fits any vehicle.
Applications for shared vehicles and rental
Optimisation of fleet deployment
Thanks to the Tracefy dashboard, you can see at a glance how your fleet is 'performing'. For example, you can see whether all the vehicles are being used equally intensively, which pick-up and drop-off locations are popular and whether any adjustments are needed in the distribution of vehicles. In short: thanks to the information on the dashboard, you can respond easily, quickly and efficiently to the (changing) needs of users.

Shared Vehicles & Transport Client Case
CompanyiBike is a chain of bicycle shops with eight branches in the Antwerp area (Belgium) with a focus on B2B customers. Customers of iBike have small to medium fleets of small vehicles, which are used for delivery and rental.
Customer demandiBike wants to offer its customers insight into the location and use of their vehicles and provide them with additional services by taking the maintenance planning completely out of their hands.
ApplicationSales/expansion of services to customers.
Tracefy in practiceiBike sells the Tracefy GPS tracker to its customers and takes care of the installation. They also offer their customers (paid) access to the data of their vehicles in the online dashboard. iBike can create, manage and invoice the licenses per customer. The additional service of taking over the maintenance planning would not be possible without the deployment of Tracefy's IoT solution.
Company: Cycleshare supplies small vehicles to holiday parks and hotels for rental to guests.
Customer demand: Cycleshare customers only pay for vehicles that have been hired out. For them, it is therefore relevant to have the actual use of vehicles mapped out. Only then can they invoice appropriately and carry out maintenance in good time. Cycleshare uses the Tracefy GPS system for this purpose.
Application: improvement of business operations.
Tracefy in practiceAll electric vehicles which Cycleshare installs at customers' premises are fitted with a Tracefy GPS tracker. This provides real-time insight into the use of each vehicle in a clear dashboard. Invoicing is therefore child's play: it is based on actual use and manual administration is not necessary, both at Cycleshare and at its customers. Thanks to the tracker, the fleet manager also knows exactly when maintenance is required. Insight into annual usage also provides good starting points for the targeted expansion of fleets.
