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 applications.

Dealers can also optionally appear on the Partners map on our website, which allows potential clients and our users to easily find an integrator in their region.

More details about GPS-Trace business tools.

Blog article:
Partner Panel: Functionality

Our Partners Map is designed to help clients easily find local integrators (service providers) who can provide complete solutions (tracker + SIM card + our application) or GPS tracking services in their region.

GPS-Trace: Partner Map

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 2 geozones and 10 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 partner who sold that tracker. Some of our partners don't want to deal with every small customer they have.

But if you want to keep in touch with your customer, 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.

Custom Website Branding: New Feature for GPS-Trace Partners

In the Partner Panel, we have a demo version of Forguard, which partners can use to demonstrate the app's functionality to potential clients without the need to create accounts and configure units.

Partner plans are rate plans based on which the cost of services for the partner is calculated. Based on Partner plans, a partner can create any number of tariffs for their clients, independently determining the functionality and price at which the partner will sell to their clients.
Regardless of which Partner plan is chosen to create a client plan, the partner 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.

Blog article:
Forguard Partners Billing Guide 

Client plans are a set of capabilities and features of the Forguard application created by the partner based on partner plans for their clients. In the client plan, the partner specifies the maximum number of units, geozones, and data storage capacity, the ability to use advanced notifications, Google Maps, GPRS commands, sharing, statistics, and mileage and engine hour counters.

Based on partner plans, a partner can either create their own tariff grid for their clients or create an exclusive client plan for a specific account.

Blog article:
Forguard Partners Billing Guide 

You can create up to 200 Forguard accounts from scratch. This is the first step for our partner.

When you approach this limit, we will simply increase the number of slots.

In a single Forguard account, up to 70 units can be created.
Additionally, Forguard features a quick account switching function, allowing clients to easily switch between accounts if they need to track more than 70 units.

Blog Article:
Breaking Limits: Up to 70 units per Forguard User

To create a Forguard account, you need in Partner Panel to:

  • Go to the Forguard section;
  • Click on the "+ Account" button in the top right corner;
  • Select the appropriate client plan.

After creating the account, you can change its name and add a description, if necessary.

Please note that before creating a client account, you must create client plans based on partner plans. The same client plan can be used for multiple accounts.

To create a unit, click on the unit selection field and select Create unit.
A step-by-step form for creating a unit will open:
1. Select the model of your GPS device(tracker) from the list.
2. Enter your tracker details, such as its ID (IMEI) and, if required, a password.
3. Click on the Save button.
Now the unit has been created and all that remains is to connect your tracker to it.
After clicking the Save button, you will see the connection menu of your tracker. Here you will find the server address (IP/DNS) and port that you need to configure your device to.

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

A partner’s client can download the application from Google Play, AppStore, or use the web version of the application.

A partner can transfer a Forguard account to a client using:
1. links to activate your account;
2. QR code for account activation;
3. establishing a login/email and password for the client’s account.

In case a user fails to pay for the partner's services, the partner 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.
