The modern business landscape is a fast paced blur of action and reaction. Any fleet owner must be able to access relevant data on the status of his fleet in real or near real time. Without this information the fleet owner cannot be assured that his assets are being utilised to their full capacity. Combine this frenetic pace with a highly competitive environment and a steady rise in organised crime and the necessity for highly technical fleet tracking solutions becomes apparent. These fleet tracking solutions are based on technology platforms that allow fleet owners to track, manage and control fixed and mobile remote assets through a combinations of satellites, GPRS and GSM wireless technology all working in concert. Fleet tracking technology is especially important to those fleet transporting material that has to be kept at a constant temperature. Maintaining the Cold Chain has been made immeasurably easier through the innovations that have led to the modern fleet tracking technology.

Fleet tracking also allows the fleet owner to keep an eye of agricultural products from harvest time, through the transport cycle and even until the moment that it is loaded on board ship for export. Aside from ensuring that the vehicle being used is on time and on the correct route the information supplied by the fleet tracking software can be downloaded onto a PC or laptop where it can be analysed to ensure that routes are optimized, service schedules are adhered to and that fuel usage is optimal. It can also track when the vehicle has stopped, when it is in motion and the speeds that is has been traveling at.

It goes without saying that the fleet tracking software will also notify a security company in the event of a hijacking.
