What is Telematics?

Telematics is a technology that helps in the tracking of vehicles, trucks, equipment, and other assets using GPS and onboard diagnostics (OBD) to plot their movements on a digital map. Telematics sometimes referred to as fleet tracking or GPS vehicle tracking, has become an important management tool for both commercial and government fleets. Telematics systems collect and visualize data such as vehicle location, driver behavior, engine diagnostics, and vehicle activity on software platforms that assist fleet managers in managing their resources.

Telematics has revolutionized a variety of sectors in recent years, with substantial transformations occurring in transportation, building, and site excavation. Telematics has been used by companies managing fleets of vehicles across a wide range of industries, helping to enhance dependability, improve customer service standards, improve productivity, and boost profitability.
