Location is the start, not the point. Our telematics systems combine multi-constellation GPS with CAN-bus vehicle data, driver identification and behaviour scoring — so you see not just where every vehicle is, but how it’s being driven, what it’s costing you and whether your operation stays compliant. Hardware, installation, platform and UK support from one supplier.
Telematics is the combination of GPS positioning, on-board vehicle data and mobile connectivity that turns each vehicle into a source of live operational information. A telematics device — hardwired or plugged into the OBD port — captures location, speed, driving events and engine data over CAN-bus, and transmits it over 4G to a software platform where it becomes reports, alerts and evidence. If you mainly want live location on a map, see vehicle tracking; this page covers the full data discipline.
Hardwired 4G GPS trackers for permanent installs, or OBD plug-in units for fast, no-wiring rollout — multi-constellation GNSS with backup battery so tampering or power loss doesn’t blind you.
CAN-bus feeds fuel use, true mileage, engine hours, RPM and fault codes; RS232/RS485 and digital/analogue I/O connect tachographs and peripherals; iButton/RFID driver ID puts a name to every journey; Bluetooth sensors add temperature and more.
Everything lands in one login alongside your cameras and assets — see the Vision software platform.
Harsh-driving and idling scores, geofence and out-of-hours alerts, fault-code notifications, and reports that support FORS and O-Licence compliance evidence.
Driver behaviour league tables and idling reports give you a coaching agenda backed by data, not anecdotes; fault codes surface defects before they become roadside breakdowns.
Duty-of-care evidence — who drove, how they drove, and what you did about it — is the paper trail that protects the business after an incident.
Fuel, idling and true-mileage data attack the two biggest controllable fleet costs, and behaviour scoring supports insurance renewal negotiations.
Driver ID plus CAN data across a mixed fleet gives one consistent standard for utilisation, compliance and vehicle replacement planning.
OBD plug-in trackers install in minutes and suit cars, grey fleet and short-lease vehicles. Hardwired units are concealed, tamper-resistant and unlock the full I/O set — driver ID readers, tachograph connection, PTO and auxiliary inputs — the right choice for HGVs, LCVs kept long-term, and anything with equipment on the back. Rugged, waterproof options cover plant and machinery. We’ll recommend the split vehicle-by-vehicle when we quote.
Telematics is priced per vehicle and depends on three choices: device type (OBD vs hardwired vs rugged), the data you want (GPS only, or CAN-bus, driver ID and sensor add-ons), and installation. There’s no invented bundle price on this page because an accurate one needs your fleet list — send it over and you’ll get a single itemised quote covering hardware, installation, platform subscription and support.

One UK partner for hardware, nationwide installation, the platform and ongoing support — no self-install burden, no juggling three vendors. Telematics sits alongside our cameras, asset trackers and truck-legal navigation in a single login, so the platform grows with you. For the solution in depth, see vehicle telematics.
Telematics uses a device fitted to a vehicle to send its location, driving behaviour and engine data over the mobile network to a software platform — giving fleet operators live visibility, alerts and reports.
Vehicle tracking is the location layer — where each vehicle is now and where it’s been. Telematics includes tracking but adds vehicle data (fuel, mileage, fault codes via CAN-bus), driver behaviour and driver ID.
OBD plug-in devices are self-fit in minutes. Hardwired devices need professional installation, which we provide nationwide — concealed, tamper-resistant and connected to driver ID or tachograph where required.
Via CAN-bus: fuel consumption, true odometer mileage, engine hours, RPM and diagnostic fault codes. Add-ons include driver ID, tachograph connection and Bluetooth temperature sensors.
Many insurers look favourably on fleets with telematics-evidenced driver behaviour programmes, and event data strengthens claims defence. Terms vary by insurer.
Pricing is per vehicle and depends on device type, data options and installation. We quote against your actual fleet list rather than publishing a one-size figure — request a quote for an itemised price.
