An employee's phone as a GPS tracker
The cloudGPS Tracker app for Android and iPhone. Couriers, service engineers, security guards and field teams work on one map with the client's vehicles: track, SOS, schedule and timesheet.
The app and the portal
The employee sees their status and the SOS button, the company sees them on the map together with the phone status.
Free on Google Play and the App Store
How to connect an employee
Four steps from a code in the admin panel to points on the map.
Code in the admin panel
The partner creates a phone device for the client in the admin panel and gets a QR code, a link and a code for manual entry. The link opens on the partner's domain.
Installation
The employee installs cloudGPS Tracker from Google Play or the App Store and scans the QR code. The phone joins the client's account, and the client assigns it to the employee in the Personnel section.
Permissions and background work
A setup wizard explains what is collected and leads to the required permissions. On Android it recognises the phone's system skin and shows exactly where to allow background work: Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, OPPO and others.
Start and end of work
The employee turns data sending on at the start of work and off at the end. Sending that is on resumes by itself after the phone restarts.
What the company sees
The employee in the portal next to the vehicles, with their own track and phone status.
directions_walkDriving, walking and stops
The app tells driving, walking and standing apart on its own and switches GPS on when it is needed. A walking route is drawn as neatly as a trip.
sosSOS
Holding the button for 2 seconds sends an alarm to the company. iPhone users can also send SOS from Apple Watch.
smartphonePhone status
The employee card shows battery level, signal strength, charging and whether the screen is unlocked.
cloud_syncPoints without a connection
Without a network, points wait in a queue on the phone and reach the server as soon as the connection is back.
calendar_monthSchedules and timesheets
A work schedule for every employee and a timesheet: plan against actual, hours worked, late arrivals and early departures. Periods without data are marked separately.
battery_saverEasy on the battery
Points are sent often while moving and rarely while standing: GPS switches off and the network checks the position.
Only during working hours
Location is collected only while the employee has data sending turned on. While it is on, Android shows a persistent notification and iPhone shows the location indicator in the status bar.
On the lock screen the employee sees the mode, distance and time at work for today.
Under the partner's brand
The QR code and the link lead to the partner's domain, and the app shows the client's portal address. People and vehicles work in one portal: a separate People tab in the list and their own map layer.
The Personnel module in your services
The module is enabled for a client on request. Each phone is billed at the per-employee rate as a separate invoice line, and you sell the service to your client at your own price.
Employee coordinates can also come from a personal tracker or from Telegram live location: the timesheet and the map work the same way.
Questions about the app
How much does the app cost?
The app is free on Google Play and the App Store. The partner pays per employee in the Personnel module.
When does the app collect location?
Only while the employee has data sending turned on. Once it is off, collection stops until it is turned on again.
Who connects the phone?
The partner, in the admin panel: they get a connection code for the client's device. The client sees the sharing status in the portal and assigns the phone to an employee.
How does the app work on Huawei and Xiaomi?
These brands stop background apps on their own, so the wizard shows an animated guide for the phone's specific system: EMUI, MIUI, HyperOS, One UI, ColorOS and others. If the system still stops the app, it reports this the next time it is opened.
What happens without mobile internet?
Points are stored on the phone and reach the server together as soon as there is a network. The track in the portal is completed by the time of each point.
Which languages does the app support?
Ukrainian, Russian, English and Polish.
