Fleet tracking is a management system that uses GPS to monitor the activity of tracked assets (vehicles, workers, equipment). It is often referred to as vehicle tracking or AVL. The fleet is generally a collection of land-based assets such as cars, trucks, field workers and equipment (powered and unpowered e.g. trailers).

Fleet tracking uses telematics technology to collect data from a fleet of assets. This data is normally collected in near real time (actively) so it is more useful for fleet managers, who use the data to make strategic decisions about operations (which vehicle should I dispatch to a new job, where is the nearest crane, how many generators do we have in the yard, has my lone worker returned from the jobsite etc).

Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) have replaced paper Hours of Service (HOS) logbooks and are now legally required by commercial drivers. We offer a range of ELD solutions and have several devices certified with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

We work hard to make our GPS fleet tracking software user friendly and focused on helping you get tasks done. When you join us, we guide you every step of the way with our new user onboarding program and access to lots of training guides if you need them.

We also have local support teams who can assist you, either over the phone or via email.

Yes, it’s powerful vehicle tracking system software with lots of features but it’s also designed to be quick and easy to use for anyone who just likes to ‘get in and drive.’

No. The great thing with GPS fleet tracking software built as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is that all you need is a computer that can connect to the internet running a modern browser.

You can even use just your Android or Apple device to access key information about your fleet vehicles and today’s jobs.

Only if you want to. Our GPS fleet tracking software offers plenty of options for managers on the go, including mobile apps and alerts that go directly to your phone. You’ll have quick access to a range of key information about your fleet’s current performance, wherever your day takes you.

There are lots of GPS fleet tracking providers who only sell one thing. It means if you need something else for your fleet – ELD, route planning, dispatch, work order management – then you need to go through the whole selection process again and deal with another supplier. And then if you want these different solutions to talk to each other, that’s a whole other conversation.

Verizon Connect is one of the few providers that can provide you with a full end-to-end platform solution that covers your mobile resource management needs now, and into the future.

In most cases it depends on the reasons why you want to use GPS fleet tracking, and how you explain near realtime GPS trackers to them. If you want to use it to improve the efficiency, security and safety of your business, and help mobile workers to get more done, with less paperwork and phone calls, then most employees will understand that. They’ll also appreciate you’re making an effort to keep the business profitable and improving their job security. If they think it’s been done because you don’t trust them then they may not be as welcoming.

We understand that as your business grows, your tracking needs change. Our flexible platform makes it easy to add advanced solutions over time without disrupting your operations. Whether you need to layer on AI-powered dashcams for driver safety coaching, deploy asset data devices to track heavy machinery, or integrate field service scheduling, you can easily expand your capabilities when the time is right.

Simply contact your customer success manager and discuss your new requirements.

We supply standard GPS fleet tracking units that are wired directly into the tracked asset, allowing the device to be hidden to help prevent tampering, as well as being compatible with vehicles or equipment that don’t have an OBD port.

Fleet tracking reduces operational costs by helping you optimize routes, reduce engine idling and fuel consumption, and improve maintenance schedules to keep vehicles on the road.
