What is GPS / satellite tracking
Satellite tracking refers to the automatic recording of movement data via many different global satellite systems such as GPS, Galileo, BeiDou or GLONASS. In addition, mobile devices also use cell towers to determine their location - for greater accuracy and stability - in urban and remote areas. Many public works in cities as well as businesses or companies can also be simplified or recorded more precisely in the EineStadt -
Maintenance Software using location tracking.
As soon as the function is activated in the EineStadt app, automatic recording begins. The data forms the basis for legally compliant proof of the place of work and enables seamless documentation - even without an internet connection.

GPS location tracking in EineStadt is simple & efficient:
Employees start the app on their smartphone or tablet, allow their location to be shared and follow their planned route. They see themselves as a blue dot on the map and the route is automatically recorded. If the device is offline, the data is saved temporarily and automatically synchronized later.
But it's not just employees in the field who benefit: GPS location documentation also provides an overview and security in the office. Operations managers can see which tours have already been completed without being able to view the exact real-time data of the users - data protection is maintained.
In the event of an emergency - such as property damage or personal injury - the journeys can be exported as a PDF and made available as highly accurate data via EineStadt if required.
Last but not least, users can use the app to see which areas have already been covered by colleagues. This avoids duplicate journeys and allows outstanding tasks to be completed efficiently.
The advantages of GPS tracking for employees & the company
With the legally compliant location determination of employees in the EineStadt app, you can get more out of your resources. Precise location documentation reduces the workload, optimizes processes and creates reliable evidence - real added value for administration, record keeping and teamwork.
All the advantages of the EineStadt app for location determination at a glance:
-
Precise location of objects, routes and employees - you determine the radius of how far around the device you are carrying should be tracked. This means that employees can even leave the device in the vehicle while they empty a garbage can - and the object will still be tracked thanks to a generous radius.
-
Data protection guaranteed: Location data is only recorded around the objects to be processed - no real-time tracking of people, for example during breaks or between tasks to be completed.
-
Offline use: Recording works reliably even without a network - the data is transferred to the system the next time there is a connection.
-
More overview: The app shows which routes have already been completed. This ensures transparent work distribution - without any duplicate routes.
-
Planning in the digital calendar: All routes can be clearly displayed in a calendar - for days, weeks or months in advance.
-
Automatic job creation: EineStadt automatically creates job orders on request and sends them to the employees' devices.
-
Simple evidence management: If an incident occurs, routes can be exported as a PDF or image file - legally compliant and traceable.
Functions of GPS positioning in EineStadt - on lines, areas & around points
The app for occupational location tracking supports three central forms of location tracking - each adapted to the requirements of the areas of application:
-
Line tracking (e.g. for winter maintenance, hedge or line inspection):
The planned route is displayed as a red line in the app. As soon as a line is driven or walked on, it turns yellow. Once the line has been fully processed, it changes to green. If a person leaves the planned route radius, the tracking pauses automatically; this ensures clean documentation without incorrect recordings.
-
Area tracking (e.g. for green spaces or parking lots):
Processing areas appear as red areas on the map. If the users are within the area for a certain period of time and reach the geometric center, the area is colored green - a clear signal that the task has been completed.
-
Point tracking (e.g. for garbage cans, hydrants or inspection chambers):
Point objects are displayed as red markers. As soon as a device is located 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 is only recorded around the lines, areas or points. Users can also document special features, damage or other anomalies directly - by photo, text, voice input or pen input. The result is complete documentation of use; simple, fast and traceable at any time.
