Viewing Your Tracker

After logging in to the Logistimatics App, follow these simple steps to view your tracker:

  1. Choose the tracker with the corresponding serial number from the list and tap "View". If your tracking page shows "No Data," don't worry. This is normal and indicates that your device hasn't reported its location yet. To resolve this, take the following action:

    1. Bring your tracker outside and go for a short drive.

    2. Wait for the tracker to update its location, which should happen shortly.

  2. Once the tracker reports its location, the tracking page will display an information flag with the tracker’s location.

  3. Congratulations! Your SlapTrack is now online and ready to use.

Understanding the Tracking Map

To help you read the tracking map more effectively, watch our introductory video, which covers the following key aspects:

  1. Dots and their colors: Representing different tracker locations and statuses

  2. Stops: Indicating where the tracker has stopped for a certain period

  3. Satellite view: Offering a detailed view of the tracker's surroundings

  4. Date range: Allowing you to filter location data by specific dates


Battery Life

Battery life depends on reporting frequency:

  • Every 4 hours: ~2–2.5 months


💡 Tip

For the most reliable performance, place the SlapTrack near the outer layer of packaging or on surfaces less likely to block cellular and WiFi signals. Better placement equals better tracking accuracy.
