When choosing a provider theres a few important things to ensure they support.
Lockii uses GPS data to help confirm returns and alert you to pickups, when the item is not moving its safe to only send updates to Lockii ever 12-24 hours, however to take advantage of Lockii’s pickup and return GPS functionality as well our stolen item alerts your tracker must support movement detection, and send faster updates while the trailer is “moving” or “active”. We recommend during a booking that a trailer should report its updates ever 30 minutes max.
You’ll also need the provider to expose an API that we can integrate with, and preferably include webhooks for GPS location updates.
If you’d like us to add your provider to Lockii please CC us in an email with your provider.
We have a list of recommended providers that support these features. Feel free to contact us
Lockii only runs GPS pickup, return, and movement alerts against active stock units. If you archive a stock unit, Lockii ignores its tracker for location alerts and shows the unit as Archived on the schedule.
Archive units you have retired from hire so old trackers do not trigger false late-return or movement notifications.
