Q: When was Trakit established?
A: TrakitGPS™ was established in 2002. It started as a custom WAP application for the bulk construction materials industry to replace the costly status heads that were being used. Within that same year, TrakitGPS™ released the web based statusing / payroll application to the construction materials industry enabling drivers to clock in at the actual equipment, eliminating unproductive time.
From 2002 - 2003 TrakitGPS™ established partnerships with interfacing abilities to all available dispatching applications and many accounting software's. In 2003 TrakitGPS™ released the GPS web based, signaling, messaging, payroll, reporting, and auto statusing with the completion of our new hard mounted solutions.
In 2005 TrakitGPS™ released a biometric system for employee login. The ability to capture ticket information from dispatching software increases the accuracy of the auto statusing nature and multiple hardware based tracking and auto statusing solutions
