Use the Past to Plan a Better Future

Every trip your fleet vehicles make adds to your operational story—but if you’re not tracking where those vehicles go, how long they stop, or when they leave, you’re missing opportunities to save time and money. With Austin Security’s Connected Fleet trip history tools, you get complete visibility into every route taken, stop made, and mile driven.

This isn’t just about GPS breadcrumbs—it’s actionable intelligence. By reviewing trip logs, business owners in Edmonton and across Alberta can spot inefficiencies, prevent misuse, and better align dispatching with real-world conditions.

What Can Trip History Reveal?

Trip history tools show:

  • Detailed routes: Understand the actual path a driver took from point A to B.
  • Time stamps: Know when a vehicle arrived or departed a site.
  • Stop duration: Identify how long a vehicle was stationary.
  • Idle times: Detect excess engine running while parked.
  • Start and stop logs: Verify employee hours and work site time.

“We discovered a recurring detour one driver was taking that added 45 minutes a day. Adjusting that route alone saved hundreds a month in fuel and payroll.” — Austin Security Client, HVAC Business Owner

Why It Matters for Scheduling

Trip history insights empower better planning:

  • Optimize daily routes to reduce mileage and fuel use
  • Ensure timely customer service and deliveries
  • Confirm attendance at job sites
  • Back up billing and service logs with accurate data

Fleet managers can also use historical data to predict travel times more accurately and avoid repeating mistakes. It’s like having a dashboard into your team’s performance—even after the day is done.

Great for Compliance and Customer Support

Need to prove that a technician was on site at a specific time? Need to verify delivery timing? Trip logs act as a historical record that adds professionalism and confidence when working with clients, contractors, or auditors.

Absolutely. Instead of manually tracking time on site or mileage, your system does it for you.
