A driving log your drivers can't talk their way around.
Minibus-taxi owners don't get paid a salary from their drivers — they get handed a daily target in cash, and have no way to check if that's what the day actually earned. Driver Guardian turns each driver's phone into an automatic GPS logger, with zero setup for the driver: no app to open, no button to press.
to run the owner's console — no monthly fee, no hardware install, no VPS. It runs on the office PC and reads the GPS the driver's own phone already has.
How it works
From a shift on the road to a number the owner can trust.
The phone logs the trip
Background GPS starts the moment the vehicle moves — no login, no button, nothing for the driver to remember.
Route & driving events recorded
Speed, harsh braking, harsh acceleration and turns, rolled into a 100-point safety score — saved on the phone.
Auto-upload back at the depot
The phone finds the office PC on the same Wi-Fi (or over a USB cable) and syncs the day's trips automatically.
The owner sees it on the console
Fleet list, per-trip route map, safety score, CSV export — no login, no cloud account, no monthly bill.
