How the iButton System Works
The operation of iButtons is simple yet very effective
A distinctive key fob is assigned to each driver
Each driver receives a unique iButton key fob with an individual digital signature. These durable, waterproof devices are designed to withstand the demands of daily use in any environment.
A reader is installed in the vehicle which is connected to the GPS tracking device
A small, unobtrusive reader is mounted in each vehicle and connected to the EasiTrack GPS device. The installation is quick, simple, and doesn't interfere with vehicle operations.
The driver presents the key fob to the reader when starting the vehicle
When the driver starts the vehicle, they simply touch their iButton key to the reader. This action associates them with that vehicle in the system and logs the start of their shift. A LED light provides immediate feedback that the key has been accepted.
EasiTrack automatically logs and reports all driver activity
Detailed reports help you manage driver hours and improve accountability
Powerful reports are then generated from this collected data. Reports can be run by vehicle or driver for any length of time containing times of log in and outs along with durations.
The reports will tell you, in detail:
- Daily detail of the time when drivers start and finish to work
- Total hours worked per day, week, month
- Since the iButton logs out the driver after each long stop (predefined by you), you'll learn more about the daily routine of each one of your drivers
- You can also generate summary reports with total hours worked
- Worked hours report per driver can be exported to excel for further analysis
