Live Fleet Tracking: The First Layer of Business Intelligence

Home / Live Fleet Tracking: The First Layer of Business Intelligence

Knowing where your vehicles are is where the value starts, not where it ends.

Using GPS and telematics data, RentalMatics gives you real-time visibility into the location, movement and usage of every vehicle in your fleet, then feeds that data into the wider intelligence layer your business runs on.

Track vehicles live. Review journeys. Monitor behaviour with Live Diagnostics and Alerts and Notifications. Act immediately thanks to Geofencing and Damage Detection when something’s not right. No manual vehicle counts. No blind spots. No guessing where assets are or how they’re being used.

Critically, through our API integrations, that visibility connects straight into the tools and systems your team already relies on every day – like your rental system, Qlik, Power BI, Looker and more. Full API integration delivers full fleet visibility. Our all-in-one, cloud-based car rental solution is designed to automate and scale mobility operations, from managing 1,000 to 100,000 vehicles across multiple locations.

What is Live Fleet Tracking?

Live fleet tracking is the real-time monitoring of vehicle location, status and movement using GPS-enabled telematics technology. It allows rental operators to see where each vehicle is, where it has been, and how it is being driven, at any moment in time.

RentalMatics combines live vehicle tracking with journey history, geo-fences and automated alerts to give operators full operational and commercial control at vehicle level. The result is greater security, better utilisation and stronger revenue protection across the fleet.

“We’ve had cars stolen..and we’ve got them back in a couple of hours using live tracking from RentalMatics”.

With real-time visibility of your vehicles – location, mileage, fuel levels, even historical journeys – you can say goodbye to manual checks, human error and guesswork. Your teams will be free to focus instead on higher-value tasks that grow your business.

With our platform, you’ll be able to find every vehicle in seconds, pinpointing their location and direction of travel with accuracy.

It’s like an always-on security system, ensuring your vehicles stay safe and your business runs smoothly around the clock. You can even grant local law enforcement access to streamline retrieval in the event of vehicle theft.

What our clients say:

Our vehicles are allowed into certain areas and not into others. We can easily see if a vehicle is not where it should be. It’s also invaluable to be able to accurately pinpoint a car if a customer needs assistance.

What are the benefits of Live Vehicle Tracking?

BETTER SECURITY, LESS RISK:

  • Our 24/7 theft protection platform safeguards one of your company’s biggest assets – its fleet.

  • Stay in control with live updates on every vehicle’s location. If a vehicle is late, lost or stolen, our platform enables quick recovery.

  • You can even share system access with local law enforcement to assist with vehicle retrieval.

NEW REVENUE STREAMS:

  • Easily introduce new customer charges for late returns, excessive mileage and cross-border penalties.

  • Charges can be automatically applied to customer account for non-compliance to rental agreement terms.

  • Some of our clients have seen a 50% increase in Cross Border or Inter-Island fees.

REAL-TIME AUTOMATED ALERTS:

  • Receive ‘out of bounds’ alerts when a vehicle enters an unauthorised location.

  • Closely monitor vehicle activity near high-risk areas, such as borders and ports.

  • Receive instant ‘tracker tamper’ or ‘tracker removal’ alerts.

  • Get instant alerts for unusual vehicle movements, excessive speed and potential thefts.

BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE:

  • Once a customer knows that their vehicle is being tracked, they are more likely to pay up front for the Cross Border add-on at the rental desk, instead of risking a larger fine later for deviating from their rental agreement terms.

  • Organised crime groups and human traffickers tend to avoid car rental companies who track their vehicles, further reducing risk.

Tailored Dashboards

Live track every vehicle and every journey 24/7, transforming your business into a streamlined, data-driven powerhouse

Having your vehicles live tracked 24/7 and every journey they take traced by RentalMatics also means you can blend this live data with your rental system and bespoke Geo-fences. This blending of data results in the creation of several fundamentally important  dashboards that automatically monitor for issues with vehicles, return times, and other core operational processes.

Our ‘Live Fleet Check’ dashboard and ‘Check-In Dashboard for Vehicle Returns’ create actions for your teams that generate revenue, improve productivity and streamline operational processes.

GPS Border Crossings Telematics Tracking

Cross-Border Vehicle Tracking

Do you know where customers went during their rental? Do you allow your rental car customers to drive your vehicles into other countries? Into neighbouring States? How do you apply the appropriate fines for non-compliance?

RentalMatics takes care of it all. Our Geo-Fence technology creates an invisible digital boundary, defined by you, on a live interactive map. When one of your vehicles crosses that boundary, it triggers an alert or action and enables you to auto-charge customers who travel into those restricted areas. If you don’t have telematics in place to monitor your vehicles whereabouts, you’re leaving money on the table.

Cross-border travel shouldn't mean lost visibility

Our Geo-Fence technology enhances security and gives you real-time insights into any vehicle’s precise location and usage, so you can stay ahead of incidents before they escalate.

  • Automated alerts for erratic or unauthorised vehicle movements, such as across borders or State lines.

  • Applies relevant cross-border or out-of-bounds charges to the customer account.

Vehicle Live Mapping Dashboard

Some car rental companies are charging up to EUR950 in cross-border fines. If you don’t have telematics in place to monitor your vehicles whereabouts, you’re leaving money on the table.

As one of our clients said “The RentalMatics system paid for itself in cross-border charges alone”. 

Even when your vehicles roam, with RentalMatics you’ll never lose sight.
