Real-time visibility with live maps
Live Maps GPS location tracking gives you a bird’s eye view of your entire fleet in real time (or historically with Trip Replay). Dispatch the nearest available worker to a new job, check the status of a driver on their way to the depot or find that generator you need.
Replay any trip and see exactly what happened
With one click you can watch the whole trip unfold — when a driver left, the route they took and everything in between, such as speeds driven and driving events that occurred. Trip Replay animates the journey on your map, allowing you to review all the relevant data, identify route deviations, verify customer jobs and more.
Monitor activity at key locations with Geofences
Customizable activity monitoring can be added to any location on your map in seconds. Get alerts based on when and where drivers and commercial vehicles are entering, or leaving, a site. Ideal for job sites, depots, storage yards and restricted areas to increase security, verify worker activity or improve compliance with local regulations.
Add context to events with dashcam video
With outward and driver facing cameras you get a much clearer picture of what happens on the road, while helping to protect your drivers and cargo. Camera locations, angles and setup can be tailored to suit your fleet vehicles and new videos are automatically uploaded and classified within minutes of a driving event being detected.
Improve driver safety and performance
Managing your drivers is a lot easier when you have accurate data. Our range of driver management and safety tools, such as Driver ID, color-coded driving reports, panic buttons and dash cameras, can increase driver accountability, improve fleet performance and keep your team safe.
Stay up to date with alerts
Alerts are designed to do the work for you. Get notified when equipment or vehicles are where they shouldn’t be. Reduce dangerous driving by alerting drivers on driving events such as harsh braking and acceleration as they happen. Keep equipment serviced and maintenance costs down with mileage-based service reminders and avoid notification overload with frequency thresholds.
Review mission-critical data with fleet reports
Do you need daily trip reports? Do you need to know about late arrivals? Speeding incidents? Idle time? Driver behavior? Asset utilization? Report on a wide range of metrics with on-demand or scheduled reports that can be easily customized and delivered to you at a frequency that suits your workflow.
Simplify compliance with automated records
Streamline your compliance with FMCSA regulations using an electronic logging device (ELD) solution to automatically track a driver’s hours of service (HOS). An ELD solution helps drivers manage their time and rest stops, supervisors to help prevent HOS breaches and dispatchers to manage driver assignments.
With our compliance solutions you can also simplify your IFTA fuel tax reporting with automated mileage tracking by state and fuel consumption records. This helps you to avoid filing errors and overpayments.
Track both powered and non-powered assets
Finding the nearest compressor, trailer or generator is easy with simple place and trace asset tracking. Weather-proof and battery powered, our GPS trackers can report the location of the tools your business relies on, as well as helping with theft recovery and maintenance scheduling.
Turn data into action with our intelligent dashboards
Your GPS fleet tracking system records a lot of valuable information about how your business is performing over time. Our intelligent analytics dashboard converts this data into useful action points and visual trends that can be used to proactively manage your business.

Frequently asked questions
What is real-time fleet tracking?
Real-time fleet tracking is GPS fleet tracking software that is reading data received from tracking devices, as it happens.
Many GPS trackers, when active, send a continual stream of data to central servers, which is processed immediately and shown on screen for fleet managers.
There is a slight delay due to the time it takes to process the GPS data but it is very slight, which means the information seen on screen is as close as possible to what is happening right now. Ping rates on some fleet tracking devices may also delay the sending of data. Typically for assets that don’t need to be tracked in real time, e.g. a shipping container, the ping rate of the tracker will be lower to conserve battery life. This is not the case with wired-in fleet trackers, which use the asset’s power supply.
This real-time GPS reporting means managers can make effective decisions based on the most recent data coming in from the field.
How does GPS fleet tracking work?
Today’s fleets own a wide range of assets, from cars and trucks to generators, tools and other equipment. These assets generate a lot of data, much of which can be captured by a GPS tracking device.
A GPS tracking device can be wired into an asset to collect the information generated by the asset — engine hours, odometer readings, fault codes etc. — and combine it with its own position data, and send all this information to a central server over a mobile network (satellite networks are an option for assets in very remote areas).
In situations where a mobile network is temporarily unavailable (e.g. going through a tunnel or in very rural locations) the device will continue to record and send this backlog of data as soon as it reconnects.
This central server collects, collates and stores all the information sent by these GPS tracking devices. It can then be read by GPS fleet tracking software, which turns all this data into usable information for fleet managers.
How do I know if fleet tracking is right for my business?
If your business has money invested in mobile assets — vehicles, people or assets — then GPS fleet tracking is definitely something you should consider. GPS tracking solutions help you make sure you are using all your mobile resources efficiently.
Without a fleet tracking system, a business could be losing money with under-utilized assets, wasteful driving behavior or poor job scheduling. GPS fleet tracking makes it easy to identify areas of your business that you can optimize, boosting productivity and reducing running costs.
Fleet tracking can also improve safety, monitoring driver behavior in real time and encouraging staff to be more responsible.

How do I introduce GPS fleet tracking to my team?
It’s good you are planning to introduce it to the team; this is an important step in improving the success of deploying GPS vehicle tracking across your fleet. Honesty and transparency will help clear up any misunderstandings they may have about fleet tracking.
Firstly, try to anticipate what questions they may have about GPS tracking. Some questions they may have include: Does management not trust us? Will it be used to punish or overwork us? Is it legal? Is it fair? What information is being collected, and will drivers have access to their data?
While GPS fleet tracking is commonly used across both private and public fleets, field service workers will want to know how the technology will apply to them specifically. Reassure them the focus is on improving overall business efficiency, ease of management, minimizing paperwork and reducing operating costs.
These benefits of GPS fleet tracking help employees too, in several ways:
- Creating a more profitable business increases job security
- A driver’s safe, efficient performance behind the wheel can now be proved (and rewarded) with GPS reports
- Vehicle location trackers can minimize the need for paper logbooks and reports
- Supervisors can now track vehicles and see fleet activity in real time, improving coordination of resources and reducing interruptions to drivers with ‘where are you’ calls
- Drivers can monitor and self-manage their safety performance
- Managers can protect drivers from false damage claims or liability in the event of an accident
- Location data can help speed up emergency response
- Tracked maintenance information vehicles can reduce the chance of breakdowns
Work with your team to develop fair policies that improve adoption and reduce the chance mobile workers will feel ‘picked on’ or that it is an invasion of their privacy.
Inseego consultants can help you to roll out GPS tracking across your business, with advice and suggestions on ways to implement fleet management software that is best for you, your business and your drivers.
