In today’s fast-paced world, businesses across industries such as logistics, oil and gas, and supply chain management rely heavily on real-time data to enhance operational efficiency. One cornerstone technology enabling this revolution is GPS fleet tracking, a system that provides unparalleled insights into fleet management. Intangles’ advanced location-tracking solutions leverage the latest GPS tracking systems to deliver precise, actionable data for smarter decision-making.
This blog will explore the core technology behind fleet tracking GPS and how Intangles transforms it into a powerful tool for real-time fleet monitoring.
What is GPS Tracking?
Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking uses satellites, ground stations, and receivers to determine the exact location of an object in real-time. GPS tracking systems monitor vehicles, assets, or individuals by transmitting location data to a central system that processes and visualizes it for end-users.
For industries like logistics and oil and gas, GPS fleet tracking serves as the backbone of fleet operations, providing visibility into vehicle movement, route efficiency, and driver performance.

The Technology Behind GPS Tracking
Satellites and Signals
GPS tracking begins with a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites emit radio signals containing time and location data. GPS devices installed in fleet vehicles receive these signals.
Triangulation
By connecting to at least three satellites, the GPS receiver calculates its precise location using a method called triangulation. This process determines the distance between the device and each satellite to pinpoint its coordinates on Earth.
Data Transmission
Once the GPS tracking system captures location data, it sends the information to a cloud-based platform via cellular or satellite networks. Advanced systems like Intangles’ dashboards then process this data for real-time visualization and actionable insights.
Visualization and Insights
The location data is transformed into maps, dashboards, and metrics that fleet managers can access on their devices. Intangles enhance this step by integrating location tracking with predictive analytics, offering insights like fuel usage, driver behavior, and route optimization.
How GPS Tracking Enables Real-Time Fleet Monitoring
Real-time fleet monitoring with GPS tracking systems goes beyond mere location updates. It combines hardware, software, and analytics to create a seamless solution for end-to-end fleet visibility. Here’s how Intangles stands out:
- Live Location Tracking

- Geofencing Technology
- GPS systems like those offered by Intangles allow businesses to create virtual boundaries or “geofences.” Alerts are triggered when a vehicle enters or exits these zones, ensuring compliance and security in sensitive areas.
- Route Optimization
- By analyzing real-time traffic data and historical trends, Intangles helps fleets optimize routes, reducing travel time, fuel consumption, and operational costs.
- Driver Behavior Monitoring
- GPS tracking systems capture metrics such as speed, harsh braking, and idling. Intangles uses driver behavior monitoring data to provide actionable insights into driver performance, promoting safety and efficiency.
- Fuel Management
- With GPS asset trackers integrated into fuel monitoring systems, Intangles tracks fuel consumption patterns, detects anomalies, and curbs fuel theft, delivering significant cost savings.

Industries Benefiting from GPS Tracking
Logistics and Supply Chain
Timely deliveries are critical in the logistics sector. Intangles’ real-time tracking solutions empower logistics companies to enhance delivery accuracy, reduce downtime, and improve customer satisfaction.
