Getting Started with GPS-Trace Platform

GPS-Trace Console is your central management hub for creating and managing accounts across all GPS-Trace solutions.

Registration is simple:

1. Visit the registration page.
2. Click on the Sign up button.
3. Fill in the required fields.
4. Confirm your email.

That's it! You now have access to the platform.

What GPS-Trace Console gives you:

• Create accounts and units in any solution on the GPS-Trace platform.
• Configure plans, thereby managing the application functionality.
• Customize branding with your logo and colors.
• Get help with built-in 24/7 AI assistant, documentation, and FAQ.
• Use Platform API for advanced integrations.

For Service Providers

• Payment collection tools (Stripe/PayPal).
• Remote technical support capabilities.
• Autoblocking of users for non-payment.
• Dealer map listing and profile display in customer application.

GPS-Trace Platform connects you to two tracking solutions: Forguard and Tags.

Before creating an account with access to Forguard or Tags, you need to set up a Client Plan - a configuration that defines which features will be available and what limits will apply.

Client Plans are built upon Partner Plans provided by GPS-Trace. You can view all available Partner Plans and their pricing here.

Creating Your First Plan

1. Navigate to the Forguard or Tags section in GPS-Trace Console
2. Go to the Client Plans tab
3. Click the "+" button to create a new plan
4. Set maximum limits (units, geofences, history period)
5. Select features to enable
6. Save your plan

For Service Providers

Client Plans allow service providers to create different service packages with varying features and price points. Dealers can offer tiered options (Basic, Professional, Enterprise and so on) to different customer segments and set their own pricing.
The profit margin is the difference between what dealers charge their clients and what they pay to GPS-Trace.

Units are the physical GPS trackers or gateways that collect and transmit data to the platform. Without units, the account won't have any devices to track. Creating units connects your hardware to the system.

Creating Units in Forguard

1. Select the account you want to add a unit to
2. Click the "+" icon in the Units section
3. Select the model of your GPS device (tracker) from the list.
4. Enter device details (IMEI, password if required)
5. Click on the 'Save' button

If your device is properly configured and transmitting data, you'll see it online within minutes.

Gateways and Assets in Tags

Tags works with two types of entities:

• Gateways - GPS trackers that detect BLE sensors and transmit data
• Assets - Items being tracked (BLE tags, wired sensors, or parameters from gateways)

Creating gateways follows the same process as creating Forguard units (steps above).

Creating Assets in Tags

1. log into the Tags
2. Navigate to a Gateway's page to see detected BLE devices
3. Click "+" next to unlinked devices to create assets
4. Or create assets from gateway parameters via the Telemetry data tab
