Reporting

Notifications

Real-time alerts via app, email, or web — personalised to your fleet.

Argus Notifications ensure that critical fleet events reach the right person, via the right channel, the moment they happen — whether that is an SOS activation from a lone worker, a vehicle crossing a geofence boundary at midnight, or a GPS device going offline. Every alert type is configurable: choose which events to monitor, which team members receive them, and whether delivery is via the Argus mobile app, email, or the web console. Real-time visibility means issues are identified and addressed before they escalate.

Capabilities

What it does

A closer look at what's included — and the specific problems each capability solves.

  • GPS unit offline alerts

    Receive an immediate notification when any GPS device loses signal — enabling rapid response to device faults, connectivity issues, or potential tampering.

  • SOS and Help alerts with GPS location

    When a driver activates the panic button or SOS function, an immediate alert is sent with the vehicle's precise GPS location — enabling a rapid lone-worker safety response.

  • Geofence entry and exit notifications

    Be notified the moment any vehicle crosses a geofence boundary — useful for confirming site arrivals, enforcing curfews, and detecting unauthorised movement.

  • Overspeed alerts in real time

    Receive a notification the moment a driver exceeds a configured speed threshold — enabling timely intervention before a behaviour becomes a habit or an incident.

  • Battery and device health warnings

    Low-battery and battery disconnection alerts ensure you know when a tracking device needs attention before a gap in coverage occurs.

  • Personalised per user — app, email, or web

    Each team member controls which alerts they receive and how — via the Argus mobile app (Android and iOS), email, or the web console — ensuring the right information reaches the right person.
