Telematics are the present and the future of fleet vehicle tracking, and the effectiveness and ease of our Fleetsmart systems mean you never have to worry about the security of your vehicles.
Telematics are already a huge industry with clients all over the world securely monitoring their most expensive assets whether this be fleet managers or security conscious members of the public.
Telematics technology is the use of telecommunications and informatics to monitor a vehicle's behaviour in more accurate and greater detail.
Telematics systems gather GPS tracking and vehicle specific data to transfer via means including- cellular network, satellite communication, mobile data, and GPRS to a central server. The data collated is then analysed and transcribed into specific metrics that can be easily interpreted via our Fleetsmart app or website.
Modern fleet managers who have integrated telematics into their daily operations have seen drastic improvements in key areas of business, including:

Due to the nature of fleet operations, a business's vehicles can be spread across the country, or even further afield. This can make the role of a fleet manager difficult as effective tracking of constantly mobile interests can be a logistical and technological nightmare.
Well, up until Telematics revolutionised the industry.
