One driver. One tracker.Any car.
Give each driver their own Hopseat. It plugs in under the dash of whatever they're driving today, so you see where they are and how they drove, with a timed log to help you answer any question.

The driver plugs it in
It goes in the diagnostic socket under the dashboard of whichever car they're driving today. No tools, no fitting.
Questions, answered.
Does it work in any car?
Most likely! It plugs into the diagnostic socket, usually under the dashboard, which petrol cars have had since 2001 and diesels since 2004. There is nothing to fit and no tools are needed.
What happens if a driver unplugs it?
You get an Unplugged alert, and another when it is plugged back in. Hopseat only records while the tracker is plugged in. You can set quiet hours, so the end-of-day unplug is listed in the app without sending a notification.
Does it record which car was driven?
No. Hopseat records the driver's trips: the route, the times and the speed. It does not record which car they were in.
Can drivers see their own data?
If you want them to. It is your choice whether drivers get a login. We recommend it: each driver then sees their own trips and nobody else's. Owners and managers see everyone's.
What do I need to tell my staff?
Tell them before you start: what is recorded, why, and who can see it. Hopseat is made to be used openly, and each driver has their own tracker. Being open about it is also a deterrent, because drivers know their driving is on record. We give you a template driver notice for each driver to sign, to acknowledge they know they are being tracked.
Does it track outside working hours?
Hopseat records whenever the tracker is plugged in, at any time of day. When it is unplugged nothing is recorded, and owners and managers can see that it was unplugged.
What can I set alerts for?
Speeding, by how far over the limit and for how long. Zones you draw on the map, for entering, leaving or both, for every driver or just one. Driving outside the hours you set. And a tracker being unplugged or plugged in.
How do alerts reach me?
As notifications on your phone and in the alerts list in the app, not by email. They go to owners and managers; drivers are not notified. Hopseat runs in your browser on a phone or a laptop. On an iPhone, add it to your home screen to get notifications.
Can I move a tracker to a different driver?
Yes, an owner or manager can reassign it. Reassigning a tracker deletes the previous driver's trips for good, so it is for when someone leaves, not for sharing one tracker day to day.
Where is my data kept?
Your tracking data is stored in the UK, on a server in London. Hopseat is a trading name of Oculamor Ltd, a UK company registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.
Part of the Oculamor family.
Hopseat is run by Oculamor Ltd, the UK company behind the Oculamor car tracker for families with young drivers. It uses the same Oculamor trackers, and your tracking data is kept on a server in London.
