Our Dealer Roadmap
All our dealers get access to the Partner Panel, a special tool that allows easy creation, configuration, and management of their clients' accounts and units in the Forguard and Ruhavik applications, including using the API platform.
Our team provides full technical support when working in our system and with our solutions.
Dealers can also optionally appear on the Dealers map on our website, which allows potential clients and our users to easily find an integrator in their region.

Our prices depend on the functionality used:
1. Forguard and Partner Panel.
In this case, a fixed monthly service fee of 20 euros is charged, as well as a fee for activated accounts. The cost per unit, depending on the selected functionality for the user, currently ranges from 0.3 to 1.9 euros per month.
2. Ruhavik and Partner Panel.
Here, access to the Partner Panel is provided free of charge. The Ruhavik app is free for tracking one unit in one client account (including 1 geozone and 1 MB of storage). If additional units or extended functionality are required, a paid subscription can be purchased.
If you need more information about our rates, please contact us at business@gps-trace.com or submit a request on the GPS-Trace website.
The main reasons are the method of payment and your additional connections with the customer.
If you just want to sell a tracker and an app, receive the money and forget about it, you can use Ruhavik. In Ruhavik, it's your user who is responsible for subsequent payments, and there's no direct way to connect with the dealer who sold that tracker. Some of our dealers don't want to deal with every small customer they have.
But if you want to keep in touch with your clients, protect the use of your tracker elsewhere, receive monthly income from providing GPS tracking services, and get the best prices in the market, you should choose Forguard.

Partner plans are rate plans based on which the cost of services for the dealer is calculated. Based on Partner plans, a dealer can create any number of tariffs for their clients, independently determining the functionality and price at which the dealer will sell to their clients.
Regardless of which Partner plan is chosen to create a client plan, the dealer pays only for activated units.
Currently, there are four tariffs: Starter, Lite, Lite+, and Advanced, with costs starting from 0.3 euros per unit for a full month.

Important to know:
Before configuring the server and port of the tracker, don't forget to configure its APN according to your provider's data and time zone 0 (UTC), regardless of your location.
In the future, you can always find out the server address and port for connection in Hardware tab of Unit settings

In case a user fails to pay for the dealer's services, the service provider can block the user's access to their Forguard account until payment is made. During such a block, the account and its units continue to function, and once the account is unblocked, the user will regain access with all the unit history intact.
Tracking more than 70 units is possible with quick switching between Forguard accounts. The business independently decides how to distribute units across accounts, whether it's based on the geographical location of the units, different business goals and directions, or distribution among administrators responsible for managing and servicing the respective units.
