The Bouncie tracker shows you exactly where your car is and how it’s being driven and alerts you when something’s not right. Whether your teen takes the car out or you’re managing a full landscaping fleet, it keeps you in control without the guesswork.
This guide will walk you through the full Bouncie GPS setup using the Bouncie app. From plugging in the device to tracking your first trip, this Bouncie Tracker Installation Guide covers everything you need—step by step.
Bouncie Tracker Setup for Landscape Fleets
Set up your Bouncie tracker correctly for multiple trucks. These steps will help you get accurate data without tech confusion.
1. Plug in at the OBD Port and Activate
- Find the OBD-II port under the steering wheel.
- Plug the Bouncie tracker in until the LED blinks.
- In the app, tap Add Vehicle. Enter make, model, and odometer reading.
- Give it 5–10 minutes to sync.
- No wires. No tools. And you’re ready to go.
2. Set Landscape-Specific Geofences
- Draw a circle around each job site: a client driveway, park, or yard.
- Go to Alerts → Geofence → Add Zone.
- Set notifications for:
- Entry (crew arrives)
- Exit (crew leaves)
- This helps make a log of real job time. No guesswork on job duration.
3. Use Curfew Alerts for Tight Scheduling
- Set curfew times like 5:30 pm to block overtime.
- Create an alert: Alert → Vehicle Start after Curfew.
- Example: If a crew leaves after 6 pm, you’ll get an instant alert.
- This lets you call them back or schedule better.
Bouncie GPS Setup to Track Crew Behavior
Use Bouncie’s alerts and tracking features to monitor how your crews drive and where your trucks go. This keeps costs down and safety up.
1. Monitor Driving for Safety and Fuel Savings
- In the app, go to Alerts → Speeding.
- Set a threshold, e.g., 55 mph.
- Also, turn on Hard Braking and Sudden Acceleration alerts.
- This cuts fuel spending and keeps your trucks safe.
2. Record Maintenance Automatically
- In Care Plans, add oil change interval (e.g., every 5,000 miles).
- Add tire rotation reminders.
- When the due date hits, Bouncie reminds you.
- This keeps wear and tear low and trucks running.
Data Use Beyond Tracking
Bouncie isn’t just for location. Use its history logs, trip data, and alerts to handle billing, customer complaints, and job planning smarter.
1. Prove Customer Visits Clearly
- Tap Trips in the app.
- Export logs or screenshots of time on location.
- Use for billing or to defend against “we never saw you” claims.
One landscaper says, “I used Bouncie to dispute a charge-back.” You can, too.
2. Optimize Routes Based on History
- Review last week’s route via Stats → Trips → Map.
- Spot gaps—like returning to base between jobs.
- Plan “neighbors together” schedules.
- This saves driving time and fuel.
Smart Tips for Landscape Businesses
Here are practical, lesser-known ways landscaping companies can use the Bouncie tracker daily from visibility to theft prevention.
1. Use Multiple Logins for Crew Visibility
- Add managers or crew leads via Account → Manage Users.
- Granular access lets leads track only their team’s vehicles.
- Good for daily coordination without sharing everything.
2. Tag Equipment with Portable OBDs
- For trailers or mowers, use spare Bouncie units.
- Plug them into any vehicle. Only pay your monthly fee.
- Track the active location of gear and trucks with one dashboard.
3. Detect Theft with Tamper Alerts
- Bouncie alerts you if unplugged.
- You’ll know fast if thieves target your trucks or gear.
- Act quickly with police and local info.
Advanced Bouncie Tracker Strategies
Already using Bouncie? These advanced ideas help you unlock more value, improve profits, and run tighter operations across your fleet.
1. Export Data for Job-Cost Analysis
- On desktop, export trip data.
- Import into Excel or Google Sheets.
- Add columns: client, crew, cost.
- Look at total hours, idle time, and fuel burned.
This gives you the real cost per job. A key insight few crews use.
2. Share ETA Map Links with Clients
- Using desktop export, grab a Google Maps link of vehicle location.
- Text it to clients ahead of arrival.
- They see where you are and when crews arrive.
- This builds trust and avoids calls.
3. Combine with Crew Tags (Bluetooth)
- Tag each crew member with a small tracker.
- Bouncie logs who’s in which truck.
- Gives accurate labor cost per job, down to the worker.
- Use this for payroll accuracy and margin tracking.
