Managing trailers efficiently and ensuring their security are essential components of modern logistics and fleet management. With the increasing demand for accurate, real-time information and enhanced security, trailer tracking systems have become invaluable.
At Fleetsmart, we provide advanced trailer tracking solutions that not only give you a complete, real-time view of your trailers but also empower you to make data-driven decisions that enhance productivity and security.
With features such as geo-fencing, real-time alerts, and detailed reporting, our system is designed to maximise your fleet’s efficiency while protecting your valuable assets.
A trailer tracking system uses GPS technology to monitor the location, status, and activity of your trailers in real time. By equipping trailers with GPS-enabled devices, businesses gain instant visibility into their trailers’ movements, whether they’re parked, en route, or at a delivery site.
This allows for timely updates on trailer usage, enhanced scheduling, and the ability to respond quickly if unexpected issues arise.
With Fleetsmart’s trailer tracking systems, you get comprehensive, accurate tracking that ensures every asset is accounted for, streamlining your fleet operations and reducing wasted resources.
For fleets of all sizes, trailer tracking offers numerous benefits that go beyond just knowing a trailer’s location. It’s an essential tool for reducing theft risk, ensuring proper trailer usage, and optimising logistics processes.
When you have a clear picture of where each trailer is, you can allocate resources more efficiently, avoid costly delays, and ensure timely deliveries.
Additionally, real-time tracking allows you to set virtual boundaries (geo-fences) around specific areas; if a trailer leaves the designated area, you’ll receive an immediate alert.
This enhanced visibility translates directly into better asset management and fewer losses. Fleetsmart’s trailer tracking systems are designed to support these goals, providing you with the tools you need to improve security, enhance operational control, and increase profitability.
Real-time GPS tracking is essential for effective trailer management, providing instant location updates and the ability to monitor trailers’ status wherever they are. This level of visibility helps you respond quickly if a trailer veers off route or leaves an approved area, making it invaluable in preventing loss and increasing security.
Fleetsmart’s GPS tracking system empowers fleet managers to monitor assets closely, ensuring trailers are used as planned and remain secure at all times.
Telematics technology extends beyond location tracking to offer in-depth insights into how trailers are being used. Our trailer telematics feature monitors vital data points, including idle time, speed, and driver behaviour, giving you a comprehensive picture of trailer activity. With Fleetsmart’s telematics-enabled trailer tracking, you can make informed decisions about fleet scheduling, identify opportunities for cost savings, and improve overall performance.
Geo-fencing technology allows you to create virtual perimeters around specific locations, such as storage facilities or delivery areas. When a trailer exits or enters these designated zones, you’ll receive an immediate alert.
This functionality is critical for preventing theft and unauthorised use, providing real-time oversight of trailer movements. Fleetsmart’s geo-fencing capabilities allow for proactive management of assets, giving you peace of mind that your trailers are safe.
Our system provides customisable reports and alerts, allowing you to tailor your tracking according to your fleet’s specific needs. From speeding and idling alerts to usage reports, Fleetsmart’s trailer tracking system sends relevant data straight to your email, offering a clear view of trailer activity.
Excel-compatible reports make it easy to analyse fleet data over time, helping you make decisions that improve efficiency, safety, and cost management.
Fleetsmart offers two flexible installation options to suit different budgets and operational needs. Our self-fit device provides a budget-friendly, two-wire installation process that can be completed in under 15 minutes, ideal for businesses looking to save on setup costs while still accessing real-time tracking and essential features.
For larger fleets or those requiring advanced options, our professional installation service, carried out by trained technicians, offers hardwired setup with additional features, such as driver behaviour monitoring and remote immobilisation, starting at a competitive monthly rate.
Both options allow you to track your trailers effectively, whether you’re a small business or a larger operation. Fleetsmart’s flexible installation options ensure you get the most value and customisation out of your trailer tracking system, aligning with your unique fleet requirements.
Effective trailer tracking helps businesses make the most of their assets by monitoring each trailer’s activity in real time. With Fleetsmart’s trailer tracking system, you can see which trailers are currently in use and which are idle, allowing you to allocate resources efficiently.
This level of visibility reduces idle time and ensures that your fleet is always utilised to its full potential, which in turn boosts productivity and minimises unnecessary expenses.
By knowing where and how each trailer is being used, you streamline operations and make informed decisions about deployment, leading to lower operational costs and higher efficiency.
Preventive maintenance is essential for keeping trailers in optimal condition and extending their lifespan. With Fleetsmart’s telematics data, you’re able to monitor critical metrics such as mileage, usage frequency, and driver behaviour, enabling you to schedule maintenance before issues arise.
This proactive approach reduces costly repairs, minimises downtime, and ultimately extends the operational life of each trailer. Additionally, with real-time tracking to optimise fuel usage and route planning, you save on fuel costs and eliminate inefficient processes, further cutting down on operational expenses.
Trailer theft can lead to significant financial losses and operational disruptions. Fleetsmart’s GPS tracking, combined with geo-fencing and real-time alerts, provides an advanced security solution. Geo-fencing allows you to set virtual boundaries; if a trailer exits these areas unexpectedly, you receive an instant alert, allowing for swift action to prevent theft or unauthorised movement.
This system not only reduces the likelihood of theft but also aids in fast recovery if an incident does occur, helping businesses lower their risk profile, reduce insurance claims, and keep assets secure.
