Beyond Tracking: Harnessing modern telematics data for operational fleet excellence
Fleet management has evolved far beyond simple
“ dot-on-a-map” tracking. Today, modern telematics platforms provide organisations with actionable insights that improve safety, optimise vehicle utilisation and support the transition to lower-emission fleets.
The most successful organisations are no longer just moving vehicles— they are managing a continuous flow of data that helps optimise every asset and every kilometre driven.
Empowering fleet decisions and the EV transition
Energy provider Meridian Energy used Smartrak GPS telematics data to challenge internal assumptions about how their vehicles were being used. While the organisation initially believed long-range internal combustion vehicles were necessary, the data revealed that most daily trips were significantly shorter.
Armed with this insight, Meridian Energy accelerated its fleet transition, achieving its goal of electrifying 30 % of passenger vehicles three years ahead of schedule. The shift resulted in a 23.5-tonne reduction in CO₂ emissions, alongside lower fuel and maintenance costs.
Moving away from monitoring to a culture of safety
Training organisation Primary ITO uses Smartrak telematics and driver behaviour insights to support a proactive safety programme. By monitoring driving events and encouraging drivers to review their own performance, the organisation reduced overspeeding events by 65 % over two years.
Combined with driver coaching and internal recognition programmes, this approach helped create a workplace culture focused on safe driving and accountability.
Modern telematics is no longer just about tracking vehicles— it’ s about unlocking operational insight across the entire fleet.
To learn how these technologies are helping organisations improve safety, utilisation and fleet efficiency, visit the Smartrak team at the AfMA Fleet Conference.
Telematics data can also support EV operations by integrating vehicle State of Charge( SoC) with booking systems, ensuring drivers are allocated vehicles with sufficient range for their journeys— helping remove concerns around“ range anxiety”.
