GPS-Trace 2025: What we built in 2025 to improve your business | Blog

As we close out 2025, we at GPS-Trace want to share what we built this year.

With the fleet management market projected to grow from $32.34 billion in 2025 to $116.56 billion by 2032 (Fortune Business Insights), the winning platforms will combine simple onboarding with advanced fleet tools—which is exactly where we focused our efforts this year.

Major Platform Evolution

2025 marked an important milestone for GPS-Trace as we continued to strengthen our position as a solution for small fleet tracking. Our two core solutions – Forguard for fleet tracking and Tags for BLE-based asset tracking – have seen substantial improvements, while our Partner Panel has developed as a convenient admin-console for service providers.

What made this year truly special was our commitment to you – every single feature we released came directly from your feedback. Whether you're managing 5 vehicles or 3000, tracking valuable assets across multiple locations, or serving dozens of clients through your dealership – we listened, and we delivered.

Quick Access Custom Commands

Do you want to create a custom command and put the button for it at the quick access button near Units? For instance, cut off the engine in case of car-theft detected.

Your customer expects to send this command just in seconds after detecting the issue. So we added the ability for you as a dealer to create custom commands and add them in the quick access panel. Now those operations that used to take several steps can be completed with a single click, making your fleet management and control faster and more intuitive.

Forguard Capacity Expansion

Remember when you had to turn away that potential customer with 200+ vehicles at one user account? Those days are over.

We raised the unit limits for Forguard accounts to 300 units per user account. Here's what this means for your business:

Unlock Enterprise Opportunities: Now you can confidently pitch to middle-size fleet operators and logistics companies
Simplify Your Operations: Manage fewer accounts while serving more vehicles – your administrative workload just got lighter
Stay Ahead of Competition: While others struggle with platform limitations, you offer scalable solutions that grow with your clients

June 2025

This huge Forguard release solved three major pain points we heard from you repeatedly:

Unit Migration Functionality

Problem: How do I move my customers from their old system without losing data?

Solution: Easily migrate units from Ruhavik to Forguard accounts through the Partner Panel with all trip history and tracking data preserved. This allows you to transition clients smoothly and enable upselling to advanced features.

You can read the full step-by-step guide here.

Draft Units Feature

Problem: Can I prepare devices before my customer arrives?

Solution: Pre-configure units and assign them to client accounts instantly when needed. This allows you to have devices ready the moment your customer signs the contract and prepare inventory in advance for busy periods.

Chat Support with AI

Our integrated AI assistant provides instant 24/7 multilingual support with escalation to human agents when needed. Whether your technical team has questions at midnight or needs help in their local language, they'll get immediate assistance.

This AI-bot uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) to safely access users' personal data and deliver personalized responses based on their actual unit data while maintaining privacy and security. We've made this MCP server available for anyone who wants similar functionality in their own AI assistants.

May 2025

Asset Tracking Goes Global

Our Tags asset tracking solution became available to all dealers worldwide, complete with flexible billing options and convenient account management tools. Now you can offer complete fleet and asset visibility under one roof.
