Geotab leverages advanced data intelligence and AI to transform fleet management with Google Cloud

Jakarta, 8 October 2026 – Indonesia recorded 158,508 traffic accidents in 2025, in which a total of 24,296 people lost their lives. Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) Open in new window continued to identify human factors—including fatigue, negligence and non-compliance with safety procedures—as a dominant contributor to these transport accidents.The figures highlight that road safety remains a major challenge, including for businesses that operate vehicles and transport people every day. 

This is where Geotab^®, a global leader in connected operations, video telematics and AI-powered insights, sees a growing role for connected fleet intelligence. By bringing vehicle data, location, driver behaviour, diagnostics and video context into a single ecosystem, fleets can get early visibility into what is happening on the road, how vehicles are being driven and where potential risks may be emerging before incidents can take place, thereby supporting safety and operational decision-making.

“GPS gave fleets the ability to see where their vehicles were. The next evolution is understanding what is happening around the vehicle, how it is being driven and what action should be taken,” said Alvin Santoso, Business Development Manager, Geotab Indonesia, during a media discussion themed “Smarter Fleets, Safer Roads: The Connected Intelligence Dialogue” in Jakarta on 8 October 2026. “For Indonesia, where road conditions, fleet operations and mobility needs can vary considerably, the value of connected intelligence is its ability to turn enormous amounts of data into information that operators and drivers can actually act on,” he added.

Scaling fleet intelligence with Google Cloud

Geotab’s connected ecosystem includes MyGeotab^®, its fleet-management platform that brings vehicle and driver information into a single environment; the GO9^® telematics device, which captures vehicle and driving data including GPS location, g-force events, as well as engine and battery health data; and GO Focus Plus^®, which adds AI-powered video context and in-cab alerts for selected risks such as fatigue, distraction, and unsafe tailgating. 

Behind these solutions is a massive global footprint. Processing over 100 billion data points daily across roughly 6 million connected vehicles and assets, Geotab does not just deliver data—it connects relevant information to drive action. 

Built on Google Cloud, Geotab leverages advanced data intelligence and AI to transform fleet management from reactive troubleshooting to proactive prevention, anticipating problems before they occur. A key example is Geotab Ace^®, an AI assistant integrated into MyGeotab and powered by Google’s Gemini models. By enabling fleet teams to ask everyday-language questions about driver safety, vehicle health, and utilization, Geotab Ace delivers instant insights without complex queries or manual report scanning. 

For added flexibility, Geotab solutions are also available on Google Cloud Marketplace, streamlining procurement for enterprise customers.

Local operators turn data into safety actions

Indonesian mobility operators are already beginning to put this approach into practice. 

As a ground transport provider for Garuda Indonesia Group, Aerotrans moves flight crews and logistics teams as part of wider aviation operations with more than 250 vehicles connected through Geotab. Since implementing Geotab in 2024, the company has since achieved an 89% fleet safety ranking outperforming comparable fleets in the region, recorded a 57% reduction in harsh-braking events, seen 66% fewer aggressive acceleration events; and reduced idling duration by 22%, thereby supporting fuel and operational efficiency.

“We were looking for a solution that could scale alongside our business and operations, and provide real-time insights. Geotab offered a platform that aligns with our values - particularly in terms of precision and safety” said Kadek Bayu Temaja, Director, Aerotrans

For TRAVL, the focus is on connecting safety more closely with passenger experience. Operating around 40 vehicles with approximately 100 daily departures across Jakarta, Tangerang and Bandung, the company uses fleet data and video context to gain greater visibility into risky driving behaviours like distraction, fatigue, and tailgating and provide a more objective basis for driver coaching. TRAVL began using Geotab and the MyGeotab platform in late 2025, before testing GO Focus Plus and moving into broader deployment in August 2026. 

Its operations team can now review relevant data and video footage related to selected road events and operational reviews, while in-cab alerts can provide drivers with immediate feedback when selected risky behaviours are detected. 

“Comfort is closely connected to the way the vehicle is driven. Our passengers should not have to feel that the driver is rushing or driving too aggressively. Technology helps us reinforce the standards we expect and gives us better information to have those conversations with our drivers.” said Syukron Fadillah Alkautsar, Head of Business Unit, TRAVL

The experiences of Aerotrans and TRAVL demonstrate how connected fleet intelligence can support different mobility needs. As fleet operations in Indonesia become increasingly connected, there is a greater opportunity to use the information generated by those vehicles to identify risk sooner and support safer decisions before an incident occurs.
