Capability

Vehicle Tracking

The same trackers fitted to the vehicles you rent out, with a boundary drawn around where a rental is allowed to go and an alert to the office when one crosses it.

How it works

The tracker that goes in a delivery van goes in a rental unit on the same integration. Position is held against that unit record, beside its serial, its condition history and the reservation it is out on, so the question of where a vehicle is has the same answer as the question of who has it.

Geofencing draws the boundary. A plantation gate, an island, a county line or the streets an LSV is plated for, set per unit or across a fleet. A crossing raises an out-of-zone alert to the office with the vehicle, the renter and the time on it.

For an operator renting carts, LSVs, scooters or coaches, that alert is the whole window in which a problem is still cheap. A vehicle heading somewhere it was never rented to go is recoverable at the moment it crosses the line and expensive by the evening.

One zone, three vehicles out on hire

Alerts

  • Nothing raised. All three vehicles are where they are allowed to be.
  • LSV-07 out of zoneCrossed the northern boundary at 12:24. Renter, reservation and phone number are on the record.

Three carts are out on hire, each one reporting into the record that holds the reservation it went out on. All three are inside the zone.

The boundary is yours to draw, per unit or across a fleet. Bodhisys raises the alert and holds the record; what happens next is a phone call you make.

What it removes

Learning that a vehicle left the island at the point it fails to come back.

The number to watch is out-of-zone events caught while the vehicle is still easy to reach, and hours between the alert and the recovery.

What it does not do

This reports position and raises boundary alerts. There is no remote immobiliser, no engine cut-off and no way to stop a vehicle from inside Bodhisys.

The same fixed tracker integration applies here. One supported unit rather than any device you already own.

Telling renters that a vehicle is tracked, and meeting whatever your jurisdiction requires about that, sits with you. Bodhisys stores the data and gives no legal advice about disclosure or consent.

Every capability page on this site carries a section like this one. Why that is.

What is vehicle tracking in rental software?

The same trackers fitted to the vehicles you rent out, with a boundary drawn around where a rental is allowed to go and an alert to the office when one crosses it.

Bodhisys handles it as part of the platform rather than as a paid module or a partner integration. There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.

Questions

Is this the same hardware as the delivery van tracker?

Yes, the same supported OBD unit on the same integration, fitted to a rental unit instead of a van.

How is the boundary set?

You draw it, per unit or across a fleet. A gate, an island, a county line or the roads a plated vehicle is allowed on.

What happens when a vehicle leaves the zone?

The office gets an out-of-zone alert naming the vehicle, the renter and the time. Bodhisys does not act on the vehicle itself.

Can it shut the vehicle down?

No. There is no remote immobiliser in the platform.

Do we have to tell renters?

That depends on where you operate, and it is your call to make with your own advisers. Bodhisys holds the record and takes no position on the disclosure you owe.

By industry

The same capability behaves differently by category. These are the per-industry versions.
