What is the Smartrak PoolCar App?

Smartrak PoolCar App is for customers with a mobile workforce who want to manage their PoolCar bookings on the go.

The app provides instant access to create, edit or cancel bookings and lock and unlock vehicles for keyless entry customers. 

The app offers a seamless experience with the ability to work offline and online with the app utilising the phone's Bluetooth technology when out of coverage to lock & unlock a vehicle.

*NEW* There is also enhanced Passenger management functionality, allowing drivers to register an Odometer reading and time against individual Passengers as part of a wider trip.
