GPS Fleet Tracking

GPS fleet tracking uses GPS to monitor vehicles and drivers in real time. Information such as location, speed, and route details is transmitted to a secure, cloud-based system. This data is then displayed on a centralised dashboard, allowing managers to view live activity, review performance, and produce detailed reports.

GPS fleet tracking offers a lot more than basic location updates. It improves overall efficiency by highlighting driving patterns that affect fuel consumption, safety, and operating costs. Continuous visibility also lowers the chance and impact of vehicle theft. In addition, accurate tracking makes it easier to provide reliable ETAs to customers, and it supports driver fatigue and work-hours management for heavy-vehicle operators.

Yes. It is legal for a business to fit GPS tracking to vehicles it owns and operates, and doing so is standard practice for fleets across Australia. The key requirement is transparency: employers should inform drivers that vehicles are tracked, and explain how, when, and why. Australian privacy law and state and territory surveillance-devices legislation govern how tracking and personal information are handled, and the specific obligations can vary depending on your state or territory and your circumstances. Introduced openly, tracking is understood by drivers as a way to improve safety, security and efficiency, rather than to reduce privacy.

GPS fleet tracking systems simply locate vehicles in real time, while telematics combines location data with details such as fuel usage, vehicle condition, and driver behaviour. At MICHELIN Connected Fleet, our GPS fleet management system integrates telematics to offer more comprehensive performance insights.

Fleet tracking software allows operators to monitor and manage all their vehicles from a single platform, providing a complete overview of a fleet, whether looking at overall performance or an individual vehicle. It also supports wider fleet management tasks such as scheduling maintenance, improving efficiency, and ensuring vehicles are operating as they should.

Fleet tracking software uses GPS to collect data on vehicle location, movement, and usage before transmitting it to a secure platform, where it is processed and presented in a dashboard. Because the system updates in real time, managers can monitor their fleet continuously and gain insights into driver behaviour and route efficiency at any time.

The cost of our vehicle tracking systems depends on the size of your fleet, the type of hardware required and the features included in the package. We offer flexible subscriptions, allowing managers to scale the service as the business grows, and the system generally pays for itself through reduced fuel consumption, improved route planning, and lower maintenance costs.
