They saved their vehicle thanks to the combination of CarLocate and CarControl

98% of tracked vehicles are located and recovered! But above all, Echoes’ CarControl solution saves us the time and energy involved in administrative tasks and filing police reports. Handling such disputes isn’t our job, nor is dealing with dishonest and sometimes threatening customers over the phone or in person.

More than just a tracker—an integrated, smart anti-theft solution

Geofencing

Create virtual zones (branches, depots, countries) and receive real-time alerts whenever a vehicle enters or exits the defined zone.

Motion and Schedule Alerts

Get notified if a vehicle moves outside of operating hours or when the engine is turned on or off.

Discreet OEM technology

CarLocate uses the manufacturer's native data: the system remains invisible to thieves who try to disconnect third-party devices.

Protection for high-value vehicles

For high-end vehicles, CarLocate can be supplemented with a battery-powered tracker such as the Mi01, which is concealed and difficult to detect, providing an extra layer of security.

View and manage your fleet in real time

Beyond theft protection, CarLocate helps you stay in control of the day-to-day use of your company vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does CarLocate work without a device?
CarLocate connects directly to the built-in telematics systems of newer vehicles and retrieves OEM data from automakers. This means you don’t need to install any external GPS devices: location tracking, mileage, and certain diagnostic data are automatically uploaded to the platform.
2. Does the system work even if the vehicle's battery is disconnected?
When the battery is disconnected, real-time data transmission may be interrupted, but a disconnection alert is immediately generated on compatible models. Some manufacturers offer built-in backup systems that allow certain features to remain available; our teams will inform you of the level of service available for your specific vehicle makes.
3. In which countries is the CarControl recovery service available?
The CarControl service is already operational in several European countries to assist in the recovery of stolen vehicles. During the onboarding process, we will work with you to confirm the exact list of countries covered and the procedures for collaborating with local law enforcement agencies.
4. Is the use of CarLocate compliant with the GDPR?
Yes, CarLocate is designed to comply with current regulations, including the GDPR. We work with you to establish guidelines for usage, driver notifications, and data retention so that the solution fits within your legal framework.
5. What is the difference between CarLocate and a basic GPS tracker purchased online?
A consumer-grade GPS tracker is typically limited to tracking a single location and requires the installation of a device on each vehicle. CarLocate relies on OEM data, requires no hardware installation, and comes with a 24/7 expert service, CarControl, which actively coordinates recovery efforts with law enforcement. You also benefit from advanced features (fraud prevention, history, multi-fleet) integrated into the rest of the Echoes ecosystem.
