What is GPS / satellite tracking
Satellite tracking refers to the automatic collection of movement data via many different global satellite systems such as GPS, Galileo, BeiDou or GLONASS. In addition, mobile devices also use mobile phone masts to determine the location – for more accuracy and stability – in urban and rural regions. In the EineStadt- maintenance software, too, many public works in communities as well as businesses or companies can be simplified or captured more precisely through location tracking.
As soon as the function is activated in the EineStadt app, automatic capturing begins. The data form the basis for legally compliant proof of the place of work and enables complete documentation – even without an Internet connection.

GPS tracking in EineStadt: simple & efficient:
staff members start the app on their smartphone or tablet, allow location sharing and follow their planned route. On the map, they see themselves as a blue dot, and the route is automatically captured. If the device is offline, the data are temporarily stored and later automatically synchronized.
But it's not just staff members in the field work who benefit: GPS tracking also provides an overview and safety in the office. Operation managers can track which tours have already been completed without being able to view exact real-time data of the users – data protection is maintained.
In the event of an emergency – for example property damage or personal injury – the tours can be exported as a PDF and, if required, made available as highly accurate data via EineStadt. In the event of an emergency (see above!) users can use the app to see which areas have already been covered by colleagues. This avoids unnecessary steps and efficiently takes over open tasks.
The benefits of GPS tracking for staff members & the company
With the legally compliant tracking of staff members in the EineStadt app, you get more out of your resources. The precise location documentation reduces the workload, optimizes processes and creates reliable evidence – an additional value for administration, record keeping and teamwork.
All advantages in the EineStadt app for tracking at a glance:
-
Precise location of objects, routes and staff members – you determine the radius yourself, how far around the device you are carrying should be tracked. This means that staff members can even leave the device in the vehicle while you empty a trash can – and the object is still detected thanks to an ample radius.
-
Data protection guaranteed: Location data are captured exclusively around the objects to be processed – no real-time tracking of people, for example during breaks or between tasks to be completed.
-
Offline use: Capturing works reliably even without a network – the data are transferred to the system the next time you connect.
-
More overview: The app shows which routes have already been completed. This ensures transparent distribution of work – without taking any unnecessary measures.
-
Planning in the digital calendar: All tours can be clearly displayed in a calendar - for days, weeks or months in advance.
-
Automatic assignment of jobs: EineStadt automatically creates assignment orders on request and transmits them to the devices of staff members.
-
Simple evidence management: If an incident occurs, routes can be exported as a PDF or image file – legally compliant and comprehensible.
Functions of GPS positioning in EineStadt – on lines, areas & around points
The app for professional location tracking supports three central forms of location tracking – each adapted to the requirements of the areas of operation:
-
Line tracking (e.g. for winter service, inspection of hedge or sewage system): In the app, the planned route is displayed as a red line. As soon as a line is driven or walked on, it turns yellow. Once the line has been fully machined, it changes to green. If a person leaves the designated route radius, tracking is automatically paused; this ensures clean documentation without incorrect recordings.
-
Area tracking (e.g. for green spaces or parking lots): areas to be processed appear as red areas on the map. If the users are within the area for a certain period of time and advance to the geometric center, the area is colored green – a clear signal that the task has been accomplished.
-
Point tracking (e.g. for trash cans, hydrants or control shafts): Point objects are displayed as red markers. As soon as a device is within the defined radius around the point, it turns green. Only then can the next point be approached – this ensures that no object is overlooked.
The following applies to all variants: The location data are captured exclusively around the lines, areas or points. In addition, users can document special features, damages or other noticeable problems directly – by photo, text, voice or pen input. This creates complete operational documentation - simple, fast and traceable at any time.
