01

Getting started

5 questions

What does a GPS tracking system do?

A GPS tracking system combines an installed device, a communication network and secure tracking software. It can show a vehicle or asset on a map, record journeys and stops, and create alerts for events such as movement, ignition, speeding, power loss or entry into a defined area.

How does Ciska vehicle tracking work?

A professional installer fits and configures the appropriate Ciska device. The device collects location and event data and sends it to the tracking platform through a mobile network. Authorised users can then view live status, history, alerts and reports from a phone or computer.

Which Ciska product is best for a personal car?

Ciska Hybrid Pro is designed for personal-vehicle visibility and protection. It connects live location, journey history, geofences and smart alerts with the Ciska IQ tracking experience.

Can I track more than one vehicle in one account?

Yes. The appropriate setup can place multiple vehicles in one account so an authorised user can see them together. For business fleets, Ciska Fleet Pro adds operational visibility, driver insight and reporting.

Can I view tracking from my phone and computer?

Yes. Ciska tracking is designed for mobile and desktop access. The experience available to each user depends on the selected solution, account permissions and service configuration.

What is Ciska IQ?

Ciska IQ is Ciska’s AI tracking platform for fleet operators, enterprises and tracking companies. It brings customers, vehicles, live tracking, alerts, history, dashboards and reporting into a scalable software environment.

Can another tracking company use Ciska IQ?

Yes. Ciska IQ is suitable for tracking companies that need a software platform to manage their own customers, assets and operations. Deployment, branding, permissions, integrations and commercial terms should be discussed with the Ciska team.

How does Ciska Cold protect temperature-sensitive cargo?

Ciska Cold combines location and temperature visibility for food, medicine and other sensitive cargo. Configured thresholds can help teams detect temperature exceptions and investigate when and where they occurred.

What is Ciska Dispatch used for?

Ciska Dispatch is a compact tracking solution for dispatch bikes and last-mile delivery fleets. It supports rider and asset visibility, journey records and operational oversight.

Can Ciska track boats?

Ciska Boats supports location visibility, route history and operating-area alerts for suitable inland-waterway vessels. It complements—but does not replace—required navigation, safety and emergency equipment.

What does the Ciska OBD-II and RFID solution provide?

Ciska OBD-II + RFID can connect compatible vehicle information with driver identification. This helps organisations associate journeys and events with authorised drivers and strengthen accountability. Vehicle compatibility should be confirmed before deployment.

When do I need a Ciska Temperature Probe?

A Ciska Temperature Probe is useful where reliable temperature readings are required for cold-chain or sensitive-cargo monitoring. The probe, installation point and alert thresholds should match the cargo and operating process.

03

Tracking, alerts and reports

7 questions

Is the location shown in real time?

The platform displays the latest information reported by the device. Update frequency can depend on the device configuration, vehicle activity, satellite visibility and mobile-network availability. Always check the displayed timestamp before treating a position as current.

What happens when network coverage is poor?

Compatible devices can retain data during a temporary communication gap and send stored records after connectivity returns. The map may show the last reported position until new information reaches the server.

What is a geofence?

A geofence is a virtual boundary drawn around a location or operating area. The platform can create an event when a tracked vehicle enters or leaves that boundary, subject to the selected setup and alert configuration.

Can I receive ignition, movement or overspeed alerts?

Supported devices and configurations can generate alerts for events such as ignition, movement, speeding, geofence activity or external power changes. Ciska will help select alerts that are useful without overwhelming users with unnecessary notifications.

Does Ciska support remote engine shutdown?

Remote immobilisation may be available on suitable vehicles and installations. It must be configured professionally and used only through a safe, authorised procedure. A vehicle should never be immobilised in a way that could endanger occupants or other road users.

How much journey history can I view?

History availability depends on the selected product, plan and platform configuration. Speak with Ciska if your business needs a particular retention period for investigations, audits or operational reporting.

Can I download fleet reports?

Ciska IQ and fleet configurations can provide reports for journeys, stops, activity, exceptions and other operational information. Available report types depend on the data collected and the permissions assigned to the user.

04

Installation and coverage

5 questions

How long does installation take?

A standard installation is often completed in about one hour, but the actual time depends on the vehicle, device, accessories and testing required. Complex fleet, sensor, OBD-II, RFID, marine or cold-chain installations may take longer.

Do I have to bring the vehicle to a Ciska office?

Not necessarily. Installation may be arranged at your location or at an agreed Ciska installation point, depending on your location, the product and scheduling availability.

Does Ciska provide nationwide coverage?

Ciska can support customers across Nigeria. Tracking communication depends on the mobile network available where the device operates; satellite visibility, installation quality and local conditions can also affect reporting.

Will the tracker drain my vehicle battery?

A correctly selected and professionally installed tracker is designed for low power use. Battery condition, vehicle usage and installation configuration still matter, so repeated low-voltage or power-loss alerts should be investigated.

Can a tracker be moved to another vehicle?

In many cases it can, after compatibility and condition are checked. A professional technician should remove, reinstall, configure and test the device; account and vehicle records should also be updated.

05

Ciska IQ for fleets and tracking businesses

6 questions

Can Ciska IQ separate customers, branches and user roles?

Ciska IQ is designed for multi-customer and multi-user operations. Permissions can be organised so users see the vehicles, functions and information appropriate to their responsibilities. The exact structure is agreed during deployment.

Can Ciska IQ work with existing tracking devices?

Compatibility depends on the device model, communication protocol, firmware and data available. Ciska should review the current hardware inventory before confirming a migration or mixed-device deployment.

Can our company migrate from another tracking platform?

Yes, subject to technical and data review. A practical migration plan normally covers device compatibility, customer and asset records, user access, historical-data requirements, testing and a controlled cutover.

Does Ciska IQ provide an API or integrations?

Integration options depend on the deployment and business requirement. Contact Ciska with the system, data fields, update frequency and workflow you need so the technical team can assess the safest approach.

Can fleet managers identify drivers?

Driver identification can be supported with solutions such as RFID where vehicles are shared. Identification data should be combined with clear operating procedures so lost cards, shared tags and unidentified journeys are reviewed promptly.

How can telematics reduce fleet costs?

Telematics creates evidence for decisions about routes, idling, utilisation, speeding, unauthorised use and maintenance. Savings come from consistent review and corrective action—not from installing a tracker and ignoring the information.

06

Orders, subscriptions and support

6 questions

How much does a Ciska tracking solution cost?

Pricing depends on the product, installation, accessories, sensors, software plan and number of vehicles. Review the Ciska shop for listed products or request a tailored quotation for a fleet or specialised deployment.

Is there a subscription or renewal fee?

Products that include online platform access may require a service subscription or renewal. The applicable term and included services should be confirmed on the product or quotation before purchase.

How do I place an order?

Choose a suitable product in the online shop and proceed through checkout, or contact Ciska for guidance when the requirement involves a fleet, tracking business, cold chain, sensors or integrations.

How soon can installation be scheduled?

Scheduling depends on order time, product availability, location and technician capacity. Same-day or next-day installation may be possible, but confirm an appointment with the Ciska team before making operational plans.

What warranty and after-sales support are available?

Warranty and support terms depend on the purchased product and service. Keep your order and installation details, report faults promptly and avoid unauthorised tampering that may damage the device or installation.

How do I request a refund or return?

Eligibility is governed by the current return and refund policy. Contact Ciska with your order details so the team can review the request against those terms.

07

Privacy, security and account access

5 questions

Who can see my vehicle location?

Only authorised users should be given access. Account owners and administrators are responsible for assigning permissions carefully, removing access when roles change and protecting login details.

What should I do if I forget my password?

Use the password-recovery option provided on the tracking portal or contact Ciska support. Never share a password or one-time security code with an unverified person.

Can employees be tracked without their knowledge?

Businesses should use tracking lawfully, transparently and for a defined operational or safety purpose. Inform affected personnel about the information collected, why it is used, who can access it and how long it is retained. Obtain professional advice where required.

What should I do if my vehicle is stolen?

Prioritise personal safety. Contact the appropriate authorities and Ciska through the established recovery or support channel. Do not confront suspects or attempt recovery based only on a map position.

How do I contact Ciska for help?

Use the contact page or the published hotline. For faster support, provide the account or vehicle reference, a clear description of the issue and the time it occurred—without posting passwords or security codes.
