Frequently Asked Questions

Easy Haul uses point-in-polygon algorithms to automatically detect which zone a haul truck is in based on GPS coordinates. When operators record loads or dumps, the system captures their location and matches it against zone boundaries defined in your project's DXF file, eliminating manual location entry.

Easy Haul runs on Android tablets (minimum Android 7.0). We recommend ruggedised tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active series with 10-inch screens for visibility in bright sunlight. Tablets should have cellular connectivity for data synchronisation and GPS capability for location tracking.

Each tablet is permanently assigned to a specific vehicle. Administrators generate a QR code for each tablet containing the server details and vehicle assignment. Operators scan this code during initial setup to configure the tablet. Each active vehicle/tablet consumes one licence from your subscription.

Operators simply tap the Load or Dump button on the tablet. The system automatically captures the timestamp, GPS location, and current zone. Operators then select the material type and enter tonnage using either the keyboard or a scrollable picker. The interface is optimised for use with gloves in harsh conditions.

Yes. Easy Haul supports mid-shift operator handovers. When a new operator takes over, they select their name and continue the same vehicle shift. Each operator's work is tracked separately, but all data remains linked to the vehicle shift for complete audit trails.

Yes. Operators can review their shift timeline and edit any load, dump, or break entry. All edits are logged with timestamps and editor identity for full traceability. This allows operators to correct mistakes while maintaining accountability and audit trails.

Easy Haul is designed for offline-first operation. Tablets can function for up to 30 days without internet connectivity. All data is stored locally on the device and automatically syncs to the server when connectivity is restored. Operators can continue recording loads, dumps, and breaks without interruption.

Data can be exported to CSV or Excel formats directly from the web portal. You can filter by date range, zone, material type, or operator before exporting. The exports include all load and dump records with timestamps, locations, material types, tonnages, and operator details for engineer analysis and progress reporting.

Easy Haul imports DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) files with georeferenced zone polygons. The system supports standard coordinate systems including MGA (Map Grid of Australia) and UTM zones. Each named polygon in your DXF file becomes a zone in the system with automatic boundary detection.

GPS accuracy depends on the tablet device and environmental conditions. Standard consumer GPS provides 3-10 metre accuracy, which is sufficient for most zone detection applications. The system uses the tablet's built-in GPS and does not require external high-precision GPS units for the MVP.

Yes. The web portal supports multiple projects, each with its own DXF files, zones, coordinate systems, and operational data. Operators select their project at shift start based on GPS-sorted proximity. Each project can have different materials, zones, and configuration.

Yes. All data transmission uses secure encryption. Your operational data including GPS coordinates, load records, and shift information is stored securely on our servers. You retain ownership of your data and can export it at any time. We never share your data with third parties.
