Online Service Order in vehicle tracking: what it is and how to do it
Digital transformation is revolutionizing the way companies manage their operations, and in the dynamic vehicle tracking sector, efficiency and organization are crucial to ensuring service quality and customer satisfaction. Therefore, the online service order is a powerful tool that can help companies in this field manage their operations with more agility and autonomy.
In this article, we will explore what an online service order in vehicle tracking is and discuss the launch of the service order integrated into Softruck’s platform.
What is an online Service order?
A service order is a document that details the activities to be performed, specifying information such as the type of service, responsible parties, necessary materials, and the deadline for completion.
When we talk about an online service order, we are referring to a digital system that manages this information electronically, facilitating access, control, and monitoring of activities. Therefore, in the vehicle tracking sector, this can mean the difference between a well-executed service and customer dissatisfaction.
What is the purpose of an online service order?
The online service order serves to organize and formalize the work process in a single system, ensuring that all activities are carried out quickly and within established standards. Its main functions include:
- Planning and Control: Create services, define tasks, make photo reports, and request signatures from the installer and the final customer.
- Traceability: Easily and intuitively track the status of tasks and their upcoming commitments, ensuring everything is done as planned.
- Documentation: Attach images of vehicles, documents, and terms directly in the application.
- Communication: All communication in one system, facilitating contact between installers, managers, and customers, avoiding misunderstandings, and ensuring everyone is aligned.

Advantages of Using an Online Service Order
- Greater efficiency: Digitalizing service orders allows tasks to be executed more organized and efficiently, with quick access to information.
- Error reduction: Clear and precise information reduces the chances of errors and rework.
- Cost control: Enables stricter control of materials and time spent on each activity, helping to control costs.
- Maintenance history: Keeps a detailed record of all activities performed, facilitating performance analysis and future decision-making.
- Remote access: With online systems, service orders can be accessed from anywhere, making it easier to manage tasks remotely.
- Autonomy for installers: The installer technician links the tracker at the time of installation and performs the device’s functionality tests without needing to contact the central office to check if the tracker is working correctly.
