Real-time courier fleet tracking updates
Geotab’s live courier fleet tracking lets you view the team in the field as they complete deliveries. Get real-time updates on fleet safety and delivery progress and keep your team moving. Expand the solution to include in-vehicle communications and dispatch jobs to your team on the fly.
Prioritise driver safety at all times
With Geotab, you can help keep the team safe on the road and at the work site. Manage unsafe driver behaviour by measuring harsh braking and acceleration, sharp turns, seat belt use and speeding against posted road speed. Generate driver safety performance reports to manage outcomes before a collision occurs. If a collision does happen, Geotab also helps you reconstruct the incident using your telematics data to support insurance claims.

- Integrate electric vehicles into your business, using a single telematics solution across the fleet
- Manage driver safety and receive alerts for unsafe driver behaviour

Unrivalled electric vehicle support
Geotab’s telematics platform helps last-mile delivery services plan for the future. As more EV fleet vehicles come on the market, Geotab continues to support them by pulling telematics data and vehicle information into your MyGeotab online platform for comparison. Manage state of charge and remaining capacity to recall vehicles and dispatch those with charge remaining to complete jobs.
Predict maintenance issues and keep vehicles on the road for longer
Geotab’s GPS trackers do more than show location. Pulling engine data and analysing trends lets you target fleet maintenance to the most heavily used pool vehicles or decode engine diagnostic information. Receive alerts when potential breakdowns are predicted so vehicles don’t have to be taken off the road or end up costing you more money in repairs than necessary.
