What is GPS Fleet Tracking?

GPS fleet tracking monitors the real-time location, performance, and usage of vehicles within a fleet. It provides fleet managers with valuable data to improve route efficiency, ensure driver accountability, and schedule timely vehicle maintenance. By gaining greater visibility into fleet operations, businesses can reduce costs, enhance productivity, and extend the lifespan of their vehicles.

How does GPS Fleet Tracking Work?

Fleet tracking systems use GPS-enabled devices installed in vehicles to collect real-time data on location, speed, and usage. This data is transmitted to GPS tracking software, where fleet managers can monitor operations through a central tracking system. The software provides insights into driver behaviour, route efficiency, and vehicle usage while also generating vehicle maintenance alerts to help prevent costly repairs. By closely monitoring fleet vehicles, businesses can improve safety, reduce downtime, and optimise overall fleet performance.

Our GPS tracking solutions for fleets offer a wide range of connectivity, power, and features that enhance visibility for car dealership management. With wired and battery-powered options, Digital Matter devices can provide a solution for every car lot tracking need. Utilizing an innovative end-to-end tracking system allows car dealership owners and staff to always be able to locate inventory. 

Combining GNSS, Cell Tower location, and WiFi location, car locations can be tracked regardless of whether inventory is indoors or outdoors. Enabling full visibility of cars despite their location, creating an efficient dealership inventory management system.

Benefits of Fleet Tracking

Why Fleet Tracking Matters

GPS fleet tracking software gives businesses real-time visibility into their vehicles, helping to improve efficiency, reduce fuel costs, and enhance customer service. It also promotes safer driving habits, supports proactive vehicle maintenance, and ensures better decision-making with access to accurate, real-time data.

  • Improved Operational Efficiency – Real-time tracking and route optimization lead to reduced transit times, lower fuel costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
  • Enhanced Safety – Monitoring driver behavior and vehicle conditions helps prevent accidents and ensures compliance with safety regulations.
  • Increased Security – Real-time tracking aids in theft prevention and recovery of stolen vehicles, making it a critical tool for fleet management.
  • Versatility Across Industries – Fleet tracking solutions are widely used across various sectors, including logistics, transportation, construction, and healthcare, making them invaluable when managing diverse vehicle fleets..

GPS Fleet Tracking Applications

Discover how GPS fleet tracking solutions can enhance operational efficiency, safety, and customer satisfaction.

Fleet Management

Gain complete visibility across your fleet with real-time GPS tracking, vehicle utilization metrics, and driver behavior insights. Our devices support both light and heavy commercial vehicles, enabling streamlined operations, improved safety, and reduced operational costs.

Vehicle Tracking

Track individual vehicles with precision using high-performance GPS tracking devices. Configure movement alerts, monitor speed and location in real-time, and activate recovery mode in the case of theft or unauthorized use—indoors or out.

Battery-Powered Tracking

Monitor unpowered or mobile fleet assets with long-life battery-powered GPS trackers. Ideal for temporary assets, leased vehicles, or trailers—these devices offer up to 10 years of battery life with no hardwiring required.

Trailer Tracking

Ensure visibility of trailers throughout the supply chain. Our rugged, battery-powered GPS devices provide real-time tracking for trailers in transit or storage—improving asset utilization and minimizing loss.

Real-Time Vehicle Location Tracking

With a GPS fleet tracking system in place, you can see where your fleet vehicles are in real-time and report on trip history. Capture and analyze critical data points to improve and optimize fleet management and utilization strategies.

Driver Safety and Behavior Monitoring

Fleet tracking devices can monitor driver behaviors such as speeding, harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, idle times and more to improve fleet safety and prevent unnecessary wear on vehicles. With an electronic logging device, you can configure accident and rollover alerts triggered by extreme changes in velocity and orientation of vehicles or equipment.

Driver Identification

Determine who is operating the vehicles in your fleet, where, and for how long with a variety of Driver ID options, including iButton®, 1-Wire®, RFID, Wiegand, and RS232 interfaces to suit access control, driver behavior monitoring, and digital logbook applications.

Predictive Maintenance

Learn how industrial operations are using the Oyster Edge and Bluetooth® sensor integrations to monitor equipment usage, reduce unnecessary maintenance, and enable smarter predictive maintenance scheduling across global assets.

Theft Prevention and Recovery

Configure timely movement alerts and quickly switch to Recovery Mode in the case of loss, theft, unauthorized or after-hours use.

Remote Immobilization

Our Fleet management devices with digital outputs can be connected to a relay to safely immobilize vehicles and equipment in the case of theft, abuse, or unauthorized usage.

Bicycle Fleet Tracking

GPS tracking is a powerful tool for preventing bicycle theft across bike-sharing, delivery, and corporate fleets. By installing rugged, battery-powered GPS trackers on each bike, businesses can monitor real-time location, detect unauthorized movement, and activate recovery mode when needed – helping reduce loss and improve operational efficiency.

Mining, Oil, and Gas

Monitor and protect high-value assets in remote, rugged environments. Our GPS tracking solutions ensure reliability in extreme conditions.

Digicore and Iridium Satellite Fallback has Snowy Hydro Covered

Partnering with Snowy Hydro, Digicore, a Melbourne-based telematics company specializing in IVMS solutions in the mining, transport, and government sectors, required an incredibly versatile and scalable vehicle tracking solution to enhance asset and driver safety in extremely rugged terrain – The Australian Alps. Operating in areas with patchy cellular coverage meant that the solution needed to offer satellite communication fallback.

In Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) is a system whereby from a central place of management, vehicle usage, driver ID and driver behaviors can be monitored to maintain safety and compliance.

“We chose Digital Matter’s G120 because it’s incredibly dynamic,” says Dan Bayley, General Manager of Digicore. “IVMS isn’t just about vehicle tracking… It’s an overall safety spec being applied nationally – from capturing location data to driver ID, seat belt usage, harsh driving, speeding, panic buttons, and more. The G120’s versatility allows us to connect a wide range of sensors to capture the data we need, even when vehicles roam out of cellular coverage.”

Bicycle Fleet Tracking with Bikes Make Life Better

Evolving from a shared conviction that bikes do, in fact, make life – and work-life – better, the Bikes Make Life Better team is enhancing transportation, sustainability, and wellness for some of the world’s most successful companies. But they needed a robust and scalable battery-powered GPS tracking solution to track, monitor, and manage thousands of bicycles on corporate campuses.

Designed for tracking non-powered assets of all shapes and sizes and values, the Bikes Make Life Better Team is using the Oyster2 battery-powered GPS to track and monitor over 2,500 bicycles.

Covertly installed on the bicycles, the Oyster2’s 3-Axis Accelerometer enables smart movement-based tracking – updating the reporting rate based on movement, and entering “sleep mode” when immobile to conserve battery life.
