GPS tracking with no hardware: just the driver's phone

The Handova phone app shares location during the driver's shift, keeps running when they use maps, take a call or lock the phone, and stops by itself when the shift ends.

What you get

Smartphone tracking in Handova

Keeps running in the background

In the Handova phone app for Android and iPhone, tracking continues when the driver leaves the app, with a notification while it runs.

Only during the shift

Location starts when the driver starts a shift and stops when they end it. Never at other times.

Clear consent

Drivers agree to the GPS Tracking and Driver Consent Policy before their first tracked shift.

Works offline

With no signal, positions are kept on the phone and sent later.

Battery friendly

Positions are sent about every 30 seconds or 150 metres, not constantly.

Any phone

Android and iPhone. In a web browser, tracking pauses when Handova is not on screen, so drivers should use the app.

How it works

Ready in three steps

1
Drivers install the Handova phone app.
2
They start a shift and allow location "All the time".
3
You see them on the Live map until the shift ends.

Questions

Common questions

Will it drain the battery?

Less than a navigation app. Positions are sent in batches every 30 seconds or so.

Can the driver turn it off?

Tracking ends when the shift ends. If location is turned off during a shift, the manager sees that the position stopped.

Is it legal to track drivers?

Handova only tracks during shifts with the driver's knowledge. Your company must also follow local employment and privacy law. See our GPS policy.
