We monitor your cars, trucks, equipment and other assets using GPS technology and on-board diagnostics (OBD) to plot the asset movements on a computerized map. Also known as fleet tracking or GPS vehicle tracking, telematics is now an essential manage- ment tool for many commercial and government fleets.

VEHICLE TRACKING AND TELEMATICS
FROM START TO FINISH
How it works
- Data collection:
A telematics device, often called a “black box,” connects to a vehicle’s systems, gathering data on movement, speed, idling, braking, and fuel usage.
- Data transmission:
The device uses a cellular network to send the collected data to a data center.
- Data analysis:
A fleet management software platform receives and processes the data, presenting it in a user-friendly format like a web-based dashboard or mobile app.
Key benefits and uses
- Real-time tracking:
Allows fleet managers to see the precise location of all vehicles on a map.
- Improved efficiency:
Optimizes routes, reduces delivery times, and minimizes fuel consumption by analyzing driving habits and eliminating inefficient routes.
- Enhanced safety:
Monitors driver behavior, such as harsh braking or speeding, to help reduce accidents.
- Cost reduction:
Lowers fuel and maintenance costs and can help prevent fuel theft by providing detailed reports on usage.
- Reporting and alerts:
Provides detailed reports and can be configured to send alerts for exceptions, such as when a driver is speeding or an asset has been moved unexpectedly.
