BABACO’S GPS Tracking System
 Driver Dispatch and Navigation
BABACO’s Global Positioning System (GPS) helps you save money and track your cargo while dramatically boosting your efficiency. You can manage your fleet through BABACO’S encrypted, password-protected website. Its easy-to-use features enable you to easily track the movements of your vehicles, employees, and freight at all times.
Manage and Secure Assets
We combine GPS/AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) technology with state-of-the art alarm and sensor technology in an innovative way. This makes BABACO uniquely positioned to provide you with all the information you need, to managing and securing your valuable assets.
Schedule Adherence
You will feel secure due to improved schedule adherence. You will enjoy the labor savings because you will be running your trucks more efficiently. It allows your supervisors to have a clearer picture of what your trucks are doing at any given moment, due to clear visibility of the fleet.
Fuel Efficiency
Our GPS system provides an audit trail. A click of a button can let you know how long your fleet has been idling during the course of the day. This allows you to analyze fuel efficiency and cost effectiveness.
 Integrates with Alarm System
BABACO Alarm Systems is the only company that offers GPS tracking and fleet management combined with state-of-the art vehicle protection. We can integrate our GPS tracking system with our One-Key Solution. This is the unique combination of our alarms and our ignition kill switch. The vehicle cannot be moved or towed without notification, thanks to our motion and breakage sensors, and high-security restricted key configuration. We can also provide other security measures, customized to fit your needs.
Immediate Alert and Response
Previously, if a burglar were to break into a vehicle, the siren would go off, someone would hear it, and call the police. With our integrated solution, as soon as the alarm goes off, the GPS sees the exact position of the vehicle. Then an alert is generated on the website. Central Station Operation sends immediate notification, by e-mail and phone text message, to alert you that the alarm is sounding.
Central Station Notification
Along with the alarm notification, you will be told the street address of the vehicle. A text message is simultaneously sent to your phone regarding the alarm condition. This is all done in real time with no lag. The response and information is immediate. Nothing will happen to your shipment without notification. As soon as the alarm goes off, you will be notified.
Covert Installation Important!
Some criminals have learned to defeat GPS devices that are installed on vehicle roofs by vandalizing or covering them up. This renders the GPS device unable to operate or see the sky. But BABACO’s GPS is not vulnerable in this respect, as it is covertly installed.

BABACO GPS’s Small Footprint
BABACO GPS’s: Smaller is Better
BABACO uses a tiny device for its GPS, to deliver maximum efficiency and reliability in covert installations. It is a great example of “Good things come in small packages.”
What is the BABACO GPS Solution?
It is the easy to install, hard to defeat, industrial strength solution for GPS fleet tracking. It contains a super-sensitive GPS transponder, allowing us to make it small and discreet. It installs under the dash in minutes, requiring almost no tools other than those required for a few simple electrical connections.
No Driver Tampering
Driver tampering is eliminated because:
- There are no external antennas to cover up or unscrew
- There is no SIM card to pull out
- The power harness cannot be easily unplugged, as with most other devices
Easy Tech Support
Support is simple because firmware updates can be performed remotely via the wireless network.
Data Security
The BABACO GPS only transmits quality data. No data is ever deleted until it is confirmed as inserted into the database.
- Proprietary algorithms:
- Eliminate GPS drift
- Determine idling
- Detect movement
- Calculate mileage
Filter through GPS reading to select only the best and most accurate.
Sensors and Terminals

- Electronic driver logs
- Job dispatch
- Turn-by-turn directions
- e-mail
Because the BABACO GPS has its own CPU, GPPS, and GPRS radio, BABACO is able to develop these solutions on low-cost terminals, without sacrificing performance or usability.
