A secure communication protocol that allows our fleet management solution to integrate with your existing business systems. APIs enable seamless data exchange between your car tracking system and other software, helping incorporate vehicle tracking data with your workforce management, accounting, or logistics systems.

Security features in our tracking systems for cars designed to prevent vehicle theft or recover stolen vehicles. These include immobilisation capabilities, hidden tracking devices for cars, and alert systems that notify fleet managers of unauthorised movement.

The comprehensive monitoring of location, status, and movement of company vehicles using GPS technology. Our asset tracking solutions provide complete visibility of your fleet, with real-time tracking and historical journey data to protect valuable assets and optimise their usage.

A secondary tracking device that uses Bluetooth technology to transmit location data. In our advanced car tracking systems, Bluetooth trackers serve as backup devices that activate if the primary GPS tracker is disabled or removed.

A sophisticated vehicle communication system that allows our tracking devices for vehicles to access detailed engine performance data. Through CAN bus integration, fleet managers receive precise information on fuel consumption, engine diagnostics, and driving efficiency without any manual input.

A vehicle equipped with telematics technology that shares data with external systems. Our connected vehicle solutions deliver real-time insights on vehicle location, performance, and driver behaviour, helping fleet operators make data-driven decisions to reduce costs and improve safety.

Features within our fleet management system that track and analyse how vehicles are being driven, including metrics such as speed, harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and cornering. This data helps improve safety and reduce fuel consumption.

A practical performance measurement tool that evaluates driver behaviour based on key metrics. Our scorecards help fleet managers identify training opportunities, recognise top performers, and significantly reduce accident rates through improved driving standards.

An advanced security feature in our premium car tracking systems that incorporates two separate tracking technologies. If thieves disable the primary tracker, the secondary system continues transmitting location data, significantly improving recovery chances.

A systematic record that documents the condition of vehicles before and after trips. Our digital DVIR tools replace paper-based systems, ensuring all safety checks are completed properly and maintenance issues are flagged immediately.

The vehicle's onboard computer that controls electrical systems and engine management. Our tracking devices communicate with the ECU to gather valuable data on vehicle health, performance, and fuel usage, providing early warning of potential mechanical issues.

The comprehensive administration of a company's vehicle fleet. Our fleet management includes vehicle tracking, maintenance scheduling, driver management, route planning, and fuel management to optimise operational efficiency and reduce costs.

The process of improving fleet operations through data analysis and strategic planning. This may include route optimisation, driver scheduling, maintenance planning, and fuel management to reduce costs and improve service delivery.

The integrated use of telecommunications and informatics for vehicle tracking, fleet management, and mobile asset management. Our telematics systems combine GPS technology, on-board diagnostics, and communication tools to monitor vehicle and driver performance.

A powerful feature in our car tracking system that creates virtual geographic boundaries, enabling software to trigger responses when a mobile device enters or leaves a particular area. In fleet management, geofencing can alert managers when vehicles enter or exit designated areas.

A comprehensive vehicle monitoring solution that provides real-time location data, journey history, and driving insights. Our GPS tracking systems offer complete protection through dual-tracker technology, with both hardwired and hidden backup devices ensuring continuous tracking even if the primary system is compromised.

The period when a vehicle's engine is running but the vehicle isn't moving. Our tracking systems automatically detect and report excessive idling, helping fleet managers identify wasteful fuel consumption patterns and encourage more efficient driving practices.

A security feature in our car tracking system that allows fleet managers to remotely disable a vehicle's engine, preventing theft or unauthorised use. Immobilisation can be triggered manually or automatically in response to specific events or alerts.

Dashboard-mounted hardware that delivers real-time feedback to drivers about their driving style. Our in-cab coaching solutions provide immediate alerts for harsh braking, rapid acceleration, or excessive speeding, helping drivers develop safer habits.

The vehicle's self-diagnostic system that monitors performance and provides standardised diagnostic trouble codes. Our OBD-connected tracking devices for vehicles tap into this information to deliver comprehensive insights about vehicle health and efficiency.

A plug-and-play tracking device that connects to the standard OBD-II port found in most vehicles manufactured after 1996. Our OBD-II trackers install in seconds without special tools, providing immediate access to vehicle tracking and driver behaviour reporting.

A proactive approach to fleet management that uses real-time vehicle data to forecast when components might fail. Our predictive maintenance tools analyse patterns from engine diagnostics, mileage, and driving conditions to help prevent breakdowns and reduce costs.

The ability to monitor vehicle locations as they update, typically with minute-by-minute or second-by-second location data. Real-time tracking is essential for efficient dispatch, customer service, and theft recovery in our car tracking systems.

The process of determining the most efficient route for a vehicle to take between multiple stops. Our advanced route optimisation considers factors such as traffic conditions, delivery time windows, vehicle capacity, and driver hours.

A device placed in large commercial vehicles to automatically record speed, distance and driving time. Our fleet management systems integrate with tachograph data to ensure compliance with driving hours regulations and improve fleet efficiency.

A complete digital solution that allows remote and manual data downloads from vehicle tachographs. Our system enables analysis of driver performance data, from driving time to rest periods, with secure archiving for easy retrieval.

The branch of information technology that deals with the long-distance transmission of computerised information. In vehicle management, our telematics solutions combine telecommunications and informatics to improve fleet operations and security.

The physical tracking device installed in vehicles to monitor and record driving data. Our dual-tracker system includes both primary and hidden backup devices, offering unmatched fleet security with a 91% recovery rate for stolen vehicles.

An advanced onboard system that enables two-way communication between vehicles and fleet management platforms. Our TCU solutions facilitate remote monitoring, software updates, and emergency assistance, ensuring your fleet remains connected and secure.

A comprehensive financial analysis on the complete lifecycle of fleet vehicles. Our car tracking systems help reduce TCO through improved fuel efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and extended vehicle lifespan.

Hardware installed in vehicles to monitor location, movement, and sometimes vehicle diagnostics. Our modern tracking devices for vehicles include GPS receivers, cellular modems, accelerometers, and connections to the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

Professional services that work to locate and retrieve stolen vehicles. Our services typically work in conjunction with car tracking systems and law enforcement to achieve our 91% recovery rate and reduce the time taken to recover stolen assets.

The process of monitoring the position, movement, and other events of a vehicle in real time. Our vehicle tracking systems provide fleet managers with comprehensive visibility of their entire fleet through intuitive web and mobile platforms.
