If you think telematics sounds like a futuristic concept, you are mistaken! Telematics is not the future, it is our way to the future. Curious about what telematics is? You don’t have to delve deep into a technical dictionary–we’ll keep things straight and simple.

If you ask any company owner or fleet manager about telematics you will learn that there are a wide range of benefits–identifying vehicle location is just one small part of telematics.
 
Believe it or not, driver behaviour is first on the list of cost management issues that fleet managers regularly face. Using fleet telematics is one way to address this issue quickly and effectively.
