The Celular como rastreador protocol
It is not a device: it is the <strong>phone used as a tracker</strong>. Apps such as OsmAnd, TrackPhone or the Traccar client send the phone's position to the platform exactly as an installed unit would.
It is registered as one more unit, the app is installed and the phone appears on the map. Nothing has to be bought or fitted, which makes it the fastest way to show a client the service working on the first visit.

Frequently asked questions
Can you track without buying a GPS?
Yes: the phone itself acts as the tracker. It is registered as one more unit and the app is installed. Nothing has to be bought or fitted.
Does it replace a device installed in the car?
Don't sell it that way. A phone switches off, runs out of battery and depends on the user not revoking permissions. It complements, it does not replace.
What is it best for?
Staff on foot, vehicles where nothing can be installed, and above all showing a client the service working on the first visit.
