The benefits of Global Positioning Satellites, commonly known as GPS, are growing all the time as new applications are thought up and developed. Franson Technology AB, a Stockholm, Sweeden based software development company, recently came out with a free GpsGate Server. The server is free to download and offers businesses a way to track their vehicles out on the field.

The GpsGate Server provides employers more control and visibility of their employees behavior while out on the road servicing clients, using GPS tracking technology. Ultimately the program was designed to save companies time and money by providing extensive reporting of fleet behavior.

This gives employers the tools needed to make better business decisions. Alerts and notifications are generated for events such as emergencies, vehicle theft, off hours vehicle usage, vehicles going out of established boundaries, speeding, and excessive idling.

Henrik Thomasson, product manager at GpsGate explains, “We are pleased to make professional GPS tracking accessible to everyone this way. The immediate benefits achieved with GpsGate Server and the possibility to grow from the free installations simplify investment decisions for our customers and partners around the world.” The server is simple enough to use on its own, but is also highly customizable for individual company needs. The open Application Programming Interface (API) allows developers to customize the user interface, add tracking device support, and integrate the server with other external programs.

Franson Technology AB’s GpsGate Server is ideal for small businesses with mobile services.. The server is available with up to five free user licenses. GPS tracking of vehicles is available via web browser on customizable maps, and the platform supports over 100 different tracking devices. Thirteen different languages are currently available on the server, and new languages are easy to add, according to Franson Technology, Inc..
