Fleetsmart: GPS tracking for fleets and vehicles in the UK

Fleetsmart is a British company based in Wigan that sells cloud-based vehicle and fleet tracking systems. Its proposition focuses on providing a complete real-time view of fleet status and the location of each vehicle, accessible from any smartphone or desktop computer. The company presents itself as the UK's number one vehicle tracking system and app and claims to be trusted by more than a thousand companies of different sizes.

Cloud software and real-time location

The core of the service is cloud-hosted fleet management software that allows vehicle positions to be checked every 60 seconds, 24 hours a day, from any global location and across multiple platforms, including Mac, PC, tablet and mobile. The company integrates Google Maps for displaying positions and states a location accuracy of two metres. The system is designed to be intuitive and accessible at any time and place.

Tracking products by vehicle type

Fleetsmart's offering is organised into several tracking categories: fleet tracking, asset tracking, trailer tracking, company car tracking, van tracking, truck tracking and electric vehicle tracking. This variety makes it possible to adapt the solution to different types of vehicles and operational needs, from cars to trucks and machinery.

Additional services and optional features

In addition to basic tracking, the company offers a set of optional services aimed at safety, regulatory compliance and efficiency:

• Dashboard cameras: identify risky driving and allow drivers to be exonerated through automatically uploaded HD video.
• Remote immobilisation: increases vehicle security and improves recovery rates in the event of theft through an immobiliser controlled from the mobile app.
• Driver privacy switches: allow compliance with UK privacy laws by masking position details for private use.
• Driver identification fobs: identify each driver and monitor their driving style.
• Road speed data: record actual speeding events using regularly updated road speed data.
• Public integration API: allows the software to be integrated into the company's systems.
