Dealer advantage: Offering greater value with Tracker

For many buyers, purchasing a new vehicle is more than a transaction. It’s an emotional and practical milestone. While some buyers are motivated by status and self-expression, they also value safety, security and reliability. Increasingly, vehicle tracking technology forms part of that expectation.

By installing Tracker technology in vehicles before they are sold, dealerships can create value for their business and their customers. This approach helps protect vehicle stock before delivery while giving customers access to additional safety and security benefits from the moment they take ownership.

In the unfortunate event of theft before delivery, a pre-installed Tracker unit enables swift location tracking and recovery. This is especially important for high-value vehicles that are in transit or stored on dealership premises.

Tracker also presents a revenue opportunity. Dealerships can offer tracking as a value-added product, generating income while strengthening customer relationships. Customers gain peace of mind, while dealerships build trust and loyalty.

For many, a vehicle is one of the most significant and expensive assets they own. The financial impact of theft can be devastating. Without tracking, recovery rates drop to just 5–10%.

For certain high-risk vehicles, insurers require a tracking unit to be installed before the customer drives off the floor. Having it pre-installed simplifies the process and enhances the customer experience.

Modern tracking units offer far more than stolen vehicle recovery. Tracker Care provides a suite of services designed to protect not just vehicles, but the people who drive them. These include: 

· Emergency response: Impact detection instantly alerts the control centre when the vehicle is involved in an accident and detects the severity of the impact. If the control centre is unable to make contact with the customer, emergency response teams are automatically sent to the vehicle’s location, delivering help when it is needed most.

· Emergency assist: An assist button allows drivers to request roadside or medical assistance at any time.

· Share my journey: Enables drivers to share their location with loved ones, offering reassurance and a safety net, especially when travelling alone or in unfamiliar areas.

· Vehicle monitoring: Customers can monitor their vehicle's location and status at any time via the Tracker App. They can also add family vehicles equipped with Tracker technology to their profile, helping them keep an eye on loved ones.

· Proactive alerts: Notifications for unauthorised vehicle movement, battery disconnection and entry into high-risk zones, add extra protection. With In-App Car Guard, customers can digitally “lock” the position of their vehicle or activate automation via the app to receive instant alerts if the vehicle moves before being unlocked.

Tracker’s commitment to care goes beyond technology. Every day, our team responds to verification requests where we check that a customer is safe because their vehicle has entered a high-risk area and the driver is unreachable. We also support concerned family members trying to locate loved ones. In some instances, our swift intervention has helped prevent potential self-harm, serving as a powerful reminder of the human impact behind our services.

By including Tracker technology as part of the vehicle purchase journey, dealerships can provide customers with added safety, security and peace of mind. That’s the value today’s customers are looking for.
