FAQ

Partner panel logo Forguard logo

Our partners can be professionals in the field of GPS tracking:

1. Partners who conduct (or wish to conduct) business in the field of GPS tracking and are ready to provide their clients with GPS monitoring services for vehicles and other assets. For this purpose, we have developed the special application Forguard, which is distributed by our partners using a special CRM tool - Partner Panel.
To provide GPS tracking services using our solutions, a partner must have a status that allows them to conduct commercial activities (as a legal entity, sole proprietor, etc.).

2. Installers and sellers of trackers who, in addition to selling the tracker, help their clients by installing the application and setting up the account and tracker through our Partner Panel tool. In this case, partners typically use Partner Panel and Ruhavik.

Our pricing:

1. Partner Panel and Forguard.
In this case, a fixed monthly service fee of 20 euros is charged, as well as a fee for activated unitss. The cost per unitt, depending on the selected partner plan and functionality for the user, currently ranges from 0.3 to 1.9 euros per month.


2. Partner Panel and Ruhavik.
Here, the partner gains access to the Partner Panel for free use. The Ruhavik app is free for tracking one unit in one client account (including 2 geozones and 10 MB of storage). If needed (more units, extended functionality), a paid subscription can be purchased.

If you need additional information about our rates, please write to us at business@gps-trace.com or fill out 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.

We do not provide exclusive rights to our solutions in a certain region, because interested in each partner.

Forguard is a partner-driven app. It's familiar to Ruhavik, but Forguard has a variety of advantages:

  • Per unit billing system: now you pay only for the units you need.
  • One Forguard account can have up to 70 units.
  • Pay only for activated units. You can create and configure your customer account in advance, and we will start charging only when it's activated.
  • The partner gets full access to all accounts created by them. Even if your user activates their account, you can always help your client remotely.
  • The possibility for the partner to create their own customer plans based on our partners' plans. This means that if you need more or fewer features, storage, and drives, you can even create your tariff for your customers.
  • Web and mobile versions.
  • Autoblocking client account within a specific period of time.
  • Branding options: you can add your logo and colors.

Forguard: Learn About the Advantages

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.

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.

How to track 70+ units on Forguard

Depending on the partner plan chosen for the client, the partner may at their discretion provide access to the following Forguard functionalities:

  • Notifications;
  • Unit events;

The partner can decide whether to provide this opportunity to his client when creating a client tariff plan.

To send a command, it is important to meet 3 conditions:
1. need to know the correct command syntax;
2. the correct connection of the tracker to the vehicle;
3. a stable Internet connection.

On the first day of each month, the partner receives an invoice via email and in the Partner Panel for active units from the previous month. To ensure uninterrupted service, please make sure the payment is completed by the 15th of the same month.

For units added or activated mid-month, we proportionally calculate the cost based on the number of active days to ensure fairness in billing, as detailed in your invoice.

If the invoice is not paid on time, access to the Partner Panel will be suspended. If the payment is not made within 10 days, user accounts in Forguard will also be blocked.

- Go to the Forguard section;
- Click the "+ Account" button in the top right corner.
