GLOBAL Telematics has enhanced its Orchid product to provide simultaneous realtime and historical vehicle tracking information on demand to fleet managers. The system allows fleet decision-makers to choose between the two methods, allowing for the most cost-effective vehicle tracking method depending upon their requirements.

Realtime individual vehicle tracking capabilities enable fleet managers to pinpoint vehicles to the nearest five metres, identify new routes and estimate delivery times. Historical data is aimed at providing a cost-effective way of measuring a fleet vehicle's movements over a period of time.
