Are you worried about the safety of your vehicle? If so, you are reading the right article because in this article you will learn how to secure your vehicle using a GPS tracker.

We all know that vehicles, whether they are bikes or cars, are very expensive assets. The average price of a motorcycle in our country is three and a half lakhs, which is not a small amount that can be paid by one person at a time. If someone is buying a motorcycle by spending so much money at once, that person is thinking of using that motorcycle for a long time, but what if someone steals the next day after you buy a brand new and costly motorcycle? In general, just imagining motorbike or car theft can create fear in the mind of any vehicle owner. So, by securing your bike and car using Trackon GPS Tracker you can protect your vehicle from such vehicle thieves. With Trackon you can save your vehicle from all this by making your motorbike secure through its GPS tracker for bike and car.

Trackon, as the name indicates it tracks everything that you want to track such as vehicles, assets, elderly people, children, pets etc. Basically, it is a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker that provides information about exactly where your asset is located. It is very portable and comes in a couple of inches of size that you can easily put on or hide in your vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, scooters, trucks, buses etc. Once you install this device on your vehicles, the major work of Trackon is to show the location. It can work real time as it updates the location in every 20 seconds, which lets you know the situation of your vehicles, where it is, moving or not moving, speed etc. Apart from it, you can see the routes and distance covered by your vehicles just using a very simple yet advanced Trackon Application that is available both in Android and IOS. This app is packed with information and it is very powerful that will help you to monitor and control your vehicles from anywhere. 

If we look at the Government data, at least 5 to 6 motorcycles are stolen daily in Kathmandu valley only. There is no such relevant data available from outside of the valley but we have seen that the numbers of motorcycles being stolen are increasing in order. The recovery rate is only 18%, which means out of 100 motorcycles stolen, only 18 are found or recovered by Police. If we look at the Kathmandu valley data, in the fiscal year 2016-17, 1,030 cases were filed of vehicle theft, in 2017-18, 1,385 and in 2018-19, 1,611 incidents were recorded, which means the number of vehicle thefts incidents are growing as numbers of vehicles are increasing. Buying a motorcycle or a car in Nepal is very expensive because of heavy taxes on vehicles. So, if we lose our vehicles it is a huge loss for us; therefore, nowadays, due to the advancement in technologies GPS trackers are being used in vehicles mainly to stop them from being stolen. Our years of experience working in the similar field, we have come to notice that our market needs a brand, a product, a device, a GPS tracker which should work under the supervision of expert researchers and technicians, and Trackon is the product of these all.

Similarly, it keeps your vehicle safe which minimizes the expensive insurance of your vehicles. 

How did this idea come to life?

After the first lockdown, various incidents of vehicle theft began to go public in the areas around us. Even in various newspapers and online news portals, we had to read the news of missing and stolen vehicles on a daily basis. Although it was reported that a gang of thieves were caught in some places, it was very difficult to find the stolen vehicles safely. Even local garage mechanics became involved in the vehicle theft gang, so there was less chance of vehicles being found in a single piece. As we were outraged by such news, there was also a mixed feeling about what if our motorcycle gets stolen that easily. In this process, we began to search for various tracking devices online. We also bought a GPS tracker from an online platform called Daraz and operated the device, but due to the lagginess of a Chinese server as well as not so responsive mobile app, we had to face the problem of GPS not being accurate and real-time data being slow. There were some Nepali GPS providers as well but their fees were very expensive. Therefore, because of such difficulties and not finding the proper tracking solution we wanted, the idea of Trackon GPS came to life.
