IoT solution for tracking and reporting summoners via GPS locators
Summoners in district and municipal courts play a key role in the judicial system, ensuring the physical service of summonses, court notices and other documents to citizens and legal entities. Their work involves daily visits to multiple addresses, often in different areas of the settlement. Despite the importance of the activity, in many cases it is carried out without technological means, which leads to a number of difficulties in accountability, control and efficiency.
Main difficulties in the work of summoners
- Lack of traceability of the route and visits. There is no reliable way to prove addresses actually visited or to establish the route.
- Unoptimized routes. Without clear navigation and advance planning, time and resources are often wasted.
- Low accountability and inability to control in real time.
- Management does not have information on where the subpoenaed persons are at a given moment and how many addresses have been visited.
- Risks of manipulation or inaccuracies in manually completed reports.
- The lack of automatically collected data poses a risk of errors, incompleteness or
intentional misrepresentation. - Delays and omissions in service.
- Leading to procedural complications and possible postponement of cases.
IoT solution with GPS locators and management platform
- The proposed solution includes compact GPS locators that are worn by the summoners and automatically track their movements.
- The devices have a button that, when pressed, marks the current location on a digital map.
- This action serves to register a visit to an address, recording the exact coordinates, dateand time.
- The data is transmitted in real time to a central platform for management and analysis.
Main functionalities of the solution
- Real-time GPS tracking.
- Each device transmits its current location, visible on a map in the
platform. - Marking visits via a button.
- Each press creates a visit record containing time and coordinates.
- History and movement route.
- Complete route history for a selected day or period, including visited points.
- Geofences (virtual areas). Ability to outline areas (for example, by neighborhoods or courthouses), where the system generates automatic notifications when entering or leaving them.
- Real-time notifications.
- Notifications for entering a specific area, delays, long stays or other events.
- Automatic reports. Generation of reports on routes, visited addresses, duration of tours and other indicators – with the ability to export to PDF, Excel and CSV format.
- Mobile access for managers.
- Monitoring of all active devices and areas via mobile phone or tablet, with the ability to quickly respond when needed.
Benefits for court administration
- Increased accountability and transparency.
- Clear and verifiable information on the activities performed. Logistics optimization.
- More efficient route planning and task allocation. Reduced administrative burden.
- Automated reports and electronic reports, without the need for manual filling.
- Reliability and provability. In case of disputes regarding service or delay, the platform provides objective data.
- Better real-time control. Management has a full overview of the activities of the summoners on the move.
