Agriculture & Tractor Tracking in Pakistan
Machinery hired by the hour, diesel drawn from a bowser, and fields nobody can see from the office.
For farms and agricultural contractors, VouchTrack meters tractor and harvester engine hours, maps field boundaries as geofences so work is verified per plot, monitors diesel in the machine and the bowser, and records implement run-time where a sensor is fitted.
Sensor, network, dashboard
The sensor reports over the mobile network to the same platform that runs our vehicle tracking, so this sits alongside your fleet rather than in a separate system with a separate login.
- One dashboard for vehicles, sites and sensors
- Alerts by app, SMS, WhatsApp and email
- Scheduled reports and a documented REST API
- Installed and supported by our own technicians
How agriculture and tractor tracking actually works
Farm equipment is billed by the acre and paid by the hour, and the two rarely reconcile. Measuring work rather than movement is what closes that gap.
Scroll the diagram sideways to follow all four stages.
Work is separated from travel
A tractor driving to the next field is not doing work, but on a plain GPS trail it looks identical to a tractor ploughing. A PTO sensor records when the implement is actually engaged, so hours are counted against the job rather than against the day.
PTO engagement sensor · engine hours · position
Coverage is reported from the interior
Farmland is where mobile coverage is worst. A multi-network SIM roams to whichever operator has a mast, and where none does, the track is written to on-board memory and uploaded whole when the machine comes back into signal. The field map has no missing patch.

Acres are calculated from the path actually driven
Worked area is computed from the implement’s working width and the route the machine really took, including overlap. That produces a figure you can hold against the acreage a contractor has billed — and it is usually the overlap, not dishonesty, that explains the difference.
Implement width profile · overlap-aware area calculation
Settlement happens on a shared record
The contractor sees the same field map you do. That changes the conversation from two recollections to one document, which is the only version of this dispute that ends quickly.
Per-field, per-implement report · shared replay
What you actually get
Hours worked, per field
Field boundaries become geofences, so hours are attributed to the plot they were spent on rather than to the day.
Contractor verification
When machinery is hired in, metered hours settle the invoice without an argument.
Diesel from bowser to machine
Tank probes on both ends show what was drawn and what arrived, which is where most farm diesel goes missing.
Service by hours, not guesswork
Filters and oil fall due on real engine hours, extending machine life across a season.
Movement alerts out of season
Machinery parked for months raises an alert the moment it moves, which is when most of it is stolen.
Numbers, not just a live reading
A live value tells you the moment. The reports tell you the trend, which is what a budget conversation actually needs — scheduled to your inbox and exportable to Excel, CSV or PDF.

Each of these is an outcome plus the mechanism that produces it, because a benefit without a mechanism is just a claim.
Billed area checked against worked area
The single most valuable number on a contract farm, and the one nobody could previously produce.
How: Working width and driven path, overlap includedWork counted, not time on site
Engine hours include idling at the gate. PTO hours do not, which is why they are the fairer basis for a rate.
How: Implement engagement sensorConsumption per acre, per machine
Once fuel and worked area are both measured, an inefficient machine or operator stops being an impression.
How: Optional fuel probe combined with area calculationUnauthorised use is visible
A tractor moving at night, off the farm, is an alert rather than a rumour that reaches you in a fortnight.
How: Geofence around the holding with time-based rulesInterior fields still produce a full record
The parts of Punjab and Sindh with the worst signal are exactly where this equipment works.
How: On-board storage with complete upload on reconnectionService intervals on real engine hours
Farm machinery is worked in bursts. A calendar schedule fits it badly; run hours fit it exactly.
How: Engine-hours thresholds driving remindersFigures shown are typical of what operators report rather than a guarantee. What your fleet recovers depends on where you are starting from — we would rather set the expectation honestly than win the order and miss it.
The technical detail
The questions a technical evaluator asks before a commercial one does. If something you need is not here, ask — we will answer it rather than route you to a brochure.
| What is measured | Position and track, engine hours, PTO engagement, worked area, speed, and fuel level where a probe is fitted. |
|---|---|
| Device | Vehicle tracker with digital input for PTO and optional fuel probe input, rated for dust and vibration. |
| Area accuracy | Depends on implement width profile and GPS conditions; overlap is included rather than ignored. |
| Reporting | Every 10 seconds in motion; full track stored on board when out of coverage. |
| Connectivity | Multi-network GSM SIM selected for interior coverage, with store-and-forward. |
| Power | Machine supply with internal backup battery and tamper alert on disconnection. |
| Outputs | Field maps, worked-area reports per implement and per operator, PTO and engine-hour summaries, REST API. |
| Installation | By our technicians at your yard or in the field; typically two to three hours per machine including the PTO sensor. |
