Why job costing matters for London operators

Southwestern Ontario agriculture means a meaningful share of local fleets mix on-road trucks with off-road machinery, which requires tracking that handles both hour-meter and odometer logic.

London sits on the 401 between Toronto and Windsor, making it a common overnight and relay point for cross-border carriers.

The billing dispute you cannot win is the one where the customer says you were not there and you have nothing but a technician's memory. The margin you cannot find is the difference between hours billed and hours actually worked. Both come from the same gap: no independent record of where the work happened and how long it took.

Around London that plays out along Highway 401, Highway 402 to Sarnia and Veterans Memorial Parkway, and through the Innovation Park and the Wilton Grove industrial area. The fleets we work with here are concentrated in agriculture, manufacturing, construction and distribution.

What this covers

Job Costing and Billable Hours on the iTrackGPS platform
The same data on desktop, tablet and phone. Site arrivals and departures are recorded automatically wherever you check them.

What you get

Automatic arrival and departure

Geofence a customer location and every visit produces a timestamped record without anyone entering anything.

Billed hours against actual hours

The comparison most businesses have never been able to make.

Customer visit reporting

A history of every visit to every customer over any period.

Unbilled location detection

Vehicles stopping at places they were not dispatched to.

Driver ID

Who was operating, when, and where, so the hours land on the right person and the right job.

Exportable history

The record you put in front of a customer who is disputing an invoice.

What changes

There is no fixed average, but realistically an hour of payroll, a couple of gallons of fuel and one extra service call is about $200 to $300 a month for most industries. That is roughly 5 to 10 times the monthly cost, and it starts immediately rather than in six months.

How it installs

iTrackGPS hardware range: OBD-II, hardwired and battery units
The range, left to right: gateway, OBD-II plug-in, hardwired unit, wired asset trackers and a sealed battery unit.

OBD-II plug-in

Plugs into the vehicle's diagnostic port. Genuinely plug-and-play, about 30 seconds, and we can ship it directly to you or send a technician.

Best for: Light vehicles, vans and cars where you want to be running the same day.

Straight answer: It can be unplugged. There is a battery-disconnect alert if that happens, but it is not tamper-proof. If you are not confident the tool will be respected, hardwire it instead.

Hardwired install

Wired directly into the vehicle and hidden out of sight. Installed by our own mobile technicians, fully insured, who travel to you.

Best for: Any fleet where tamper resistance matters, and every heavy equipment install.

Battery-powered asset unit

Self-contained with no wiring at all, because the asset it is attached to usually has no power source.

Best for: Trailers, containers, generators, light towers and anything else you just need to confirm is still where you left it.

Straight answer: Battery life depends entirely on how often it reports. Reporting only on movement runs for a very long time; frequent reporting does not.

Pricing

No contract, ever

No contracts. Billing is month to month. Cancel any time with no penalty. The customer keeps the hardware. If we stop earning it, you fire us.

30 days to change your mind

30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not fully satisfied in the first 30 days, we buy it back, no questions asked.

The hardware is yours

Professional installation and a lifetime warranty is included, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. The hardware belongs to the customer.

Priced to what you actually need

A trailer you just need to confirm is still there does not cost the same as a truck running full fleet management. We quote the tier that fits, and volume discounts available at 10 or more vehicles.

We do not buy out existing contracts with other providers.

Equipment theft around London

Farm equipment and trailer theft across Middlesex and Elgin counties is a recurring seasonal problem.

Our position on this is simple: we would rather a machine never start than have to go and find it. On heavy equipment that means a starter immobilizer paired to an electronic key fob, so holding a master key is no longer enough to operate the machine. See how the immobilizer works in London.

Questions London fleets ask

Does this stop time theft?

Honestly, no. The tool does not prevent it. What prevents it is the policy and the expectations you set around the tool, and this is what makes those enforceable. The record is the enabler of accountability, not the enforcement itself.

Will it tell me why a job ran long?

It tells you when the vehicle arrived, when it left, and whether it went anywhere else. The reason is still a conversation, but it is a conversation grounded in facts.

Can I use this positively?

Yes, and the best operators do. Stops completed, clients visited and time on site work as KPIs for a recognition program just as easily as a violation log.

Do you install in London?

Yes. Our technicians are mobile, fully insured and travel to you, and we normally have you running within a day or two depending on equipment availability. For light vehicles we can also ship an OBD-II unit that plugs in in about 30 seconds. Support is by phone Monday to Friday out of Toronto.

What it could be worth in London

Rough ROI estimate for your London fleet

Based on what we typically see: an hour of payroll, a couple of gallons of fuel and one extra service call is about $200 to $300 a month per vehicle for most industries. Move the slider to your fleet size.

$2,000 conservative monthly
$3,000 typical monthly
$24,000 conservative annual

This is an estimate, not a quote, and it assumes the tool is actually used. The savings come from payroll, overtime, fuel and additional billable hours. We would rather walk you through your real numbers on a call.
