Fleet telematics and tracking management for optimised performance

Fleet tracking is the ability to monitor and manage a fleet of vehicles using a tracking device and software. Geotab’s fleet telematics solution shows you much more than just vehicle location. Fleet managers and business owners can view data insights on vehicle health, speed, driver behaviour, fuel usage or electric vehicle state of charge and much more.

A fleet tracking system enables you to view detailed, real-time data on your vehicles. All of this fleet telematics data can be accessed remotely from a single platform.

There are many benefits to using GPS tracking, including improving driver safety and customer service quality, streamlining vehicle maintenance and reducing downtime, strengthening fleet compliance and reducing the environmental impacts of the fleet operations.

Fleet telematics is a method of monitoring cars, trucks, heavy-duty equipment and other assets by using GPS technology and on-board diagnostics (OBD) to plot the asset’s movements on a computerised map. Also known as fleet tracking or GPS vehicle tracking, fleet telematics is now an essential management tool for any commercial and public sector fleet.

Fleet telematics devices are designed to retrieve data generated by the vehicle, like GPS position, speed, engine light information,engine faults, fuel usage. MyGeotab retrieves additional data for electric vehicles on real-time charge levels, charging locations and durations, and battery state of health, enabling fleet managers to effectively manage their EV fleet and compare their performance directly against the conventionally fueled vehicles in the fleet. The fleet telematics device sends the data up to the cloud, and it is then available for viewing and analysis in a fleet management platform.

With Geotab’s fleet tracking solution, receive insights that will lead your fleet into the future. With features such as accurate vehicle tracking and in-vehicle coaching, improve efficiency and maximise your fleet’s profit.
